Locking in a Good Price with Vonage

Vonage is a home phone service that allows you to use your internet connection to make phone calls, just like you would with a landline. My mother in law recently switched her service over to Vonage because her telephone provider upped its prices without any announcement. The service she got was good and cheap, but she ended up cancelling it a few months later because she moved. Nevertheless, I learned a lot about this company in the brief time she spent with them, and I figured I would share some pointers with the rest of you on how to save money with it. You may be surprised by just how easy it is to lock in a good price with Vonage. Here are some tips to help you get the lowest price possible on your VoIP phone service.


How Does Vonage Work?

Before you can find out how to save money with Vonage, you may want to find out if this is a good telephone solution for you. Vonage provides you with a box that you can connect to your internet modem just like you would a wireless router. This box converts some of your streaming internet connection info telephone service, just like you would expect to get. As long as you have a strong internet signal, you will be able to make phone calls directly through the signal coming out of the box.

In order to connect to Vonage, you will need to have a phone plugged into the box. You can then use satellite phones that feed off that one to get phone calls throughout the house. You won't be plugging anything into the phone line at that point. You will just be connecting the one phone to the box. All the other phones can then respond to that one accordingly.

How to Save Money on Vonage Services

One of the easiest ways to lock in a good price for Vonage is to look for promotions that they have going on. When my mother in law signed up for service, she was able to get her box for free and get her service without any cancellation fee should she decide to leave the company. She paid $9.99 a month for the first three months of service, and then her price went up to $24.99. That was less than what she was paying with her regular phone company, and it did not require her to commit to a contract. You should look for a similar program that you could get involved with to save your tattoo salary.

If you happen to find a promotion like this to work in, threaten to cancel it right before the price increase. This may sound odd, but it is a great tactic to help you save money. I was actually the one that cancelled my mother in law's service recently, and the lady told me that she would make the $9.99/month price last for life if my mother in law wanted to keep the services. I still ended up cancelling the order, but I realized that threats could allow other people to save money on Vonage services. Try this out and see if it works for you.

Vonage isn't for everyone, but it may be the perfect solution for you. Check out some of the different options you can have with Vonage and see if any of them suit your telephone needs. If so, you could use my suggestions to save as much money as possible on your services. Does that sound like a plan? Great! I knew it would ;)
