yeah I did, email me.....
Any hassles yet, and so far (ok its early days), are you happy with the quality and service.

I know of no-one using a cable phone service, so this is new to me - just got my long distance bill $200, my wife can't help herself, I can save about 25c a minute on international calls with Vonage ! (which should cut my bill by 50-60%)

Well, they activated my account on the 18th, and shipped UPS ground - no tracking number. Okie, how long did you have to wait for delivery.

I locked out my long distance calls on Thursday, and my wife is giving me grief :eek:

Why would your security alarm not work with it - my Vonage phone box has a 2nd phone socket, would you not just plug your security system into this. All this system needs is to dial out.

My security system is wireless, which helps a bit !

That is what I'm waiting on. I have contacted my monitoring company to see what they allow. I have gotten two different answers so far.

I read somewhere on the Voange forums, that some people have connected their home telephone network to the vonage system - so that the regular outlet sockets work - there was some issue about making sure you were disconnected from the telephone grid, and that there was no power on the line. (this is not recommended though!) - I guess you would have to know what you are doing, you can't just plug it in - otherwise boom !

Maybe have 11 digit dialing is an issue !?
