How Vonage works

It works just like a traditional phone service in that you use your existing touch tone phone to make phone calls from your home phone to other home phones or mobiles.

The main difference is that your phone is plugged into a Vonage adapter which is connected to your existing broadband router or modem - no headset required. Unlike other internet phone companies, the people you call don’t need either Vonage or broadband to receive calls from you, and your PC does not need to be switched on either.
