Vonage is a phone service that go over your high speed internet queue, and has alot of features resembling virtual numbers that you can set as the location to anywhere..
EX: you live in NY, NY, but you can set your number as local to CA, LA. Do you get the drift?
If you have a high-speed internet nouns, you can have a service similar to vonage as your home phone that goes over cable lines a bit than phone lines.

VoIP ( you use your cable internet)
the characteristic is awesome. I would be lost without it.
I hold it and it's great. I live in Japan, I get it sent to my mother's house and she sent it to me.
They are awesome. i pay $25 a month and own free calling to The US, Europe, Canada and Mexico.
Yes, like Pepper said, it's a phone that runs through your internet. I have it for 2 months and let it stir because the police were coming to my home every other daytime saying 911 call were mortal made. Nothing like wake up at 3am with flashlights shining through your window and cops banging at your door. It's alarming. The officers said it happen alot with Vonage users.
Before you resolve on anything, do your homework!!
the bandwidth is very central when using VoIP...so don't be cheap here!!
get the best you can afford...or you will hold trouble later on...
I run a speed test on my internet nouns and my Download speeds varied from 1552 kbps to 2241 kbps. My upload speeds sundry from 351 kbps to 360 kbps. Are these numbers good for a cable nouns. These numbers are from my main computer, the numbers from my lower computer are usually much lower. I am using an old SMC Barricade router. Been thinking of getting a unsullied router and going wireless for the secondary computer to stamp out any wiring issues.
one of the better websites around getting a quick instruction about VoIP is dslreports....

Vonage and Cablevision are offering inexpensive phone services over the Internet. They install a modem within your home that plugs into existing phone jacks. You can use any land column phone with the existing phone jacks.
The modem must remain on for involved phone service so if you have a power outage service is out. You can dial 911 using these technology.
I have used Cablevision for over a year near no problems and it is much cheaper than a traditional land chain.
I need to clarify what Jersey Boy have said above.
Vonage is a third party Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. It uses your broadband internet nouns to carry voice facts to a central server (owned by Vonage) which after switches your call to the standard analog phone system.
Optimum Voice, as offered by Cablevision, is NOT VoIP technology. Rather, Cablevision allots a separate staunch channel for your voice on the cable. Your call for is not routed using IP packets to a server; it is carried directly to the Cablevision local department, where it is switched to the analog phone system.
Because the Optimim Voice system works base on a 1-to-1 connection between the train user and the cable provider, 9-1-1 services are available (when I call 9-1-1, the system know what address I'm calling from and can route the call to the proper local emergency operator). With Vonage, the system does NOT know where on earth you are calling from, so 9-1-1 services are not handled correctly.
Also, because VoIP breaks up your voice into packet which are then routed over the internet, delay in internet services can bring your voice signal to break up. Optimum Voice does NOT route your voice using IP -- it is a steady digital stream between home and cable office, so the talent is much better.
