The Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) unanimously approved a petition from Vonage that would exempt it from being required to seek certification before offering service in a state as well as shield it from rate regulation, among other rules.

Vonage has a new free feature to use on your existing Vonage line. I'm using the new feature, it's GREAT!

It rings up to 5 phones other than the Vonage phone line all at the sametime. Whichever phone gets picked up first gets the call. I love it. :cool:

pretty cool aint it? I liked it but my wife hated it because If i was out I could pick up my cell before she could answer the house phone, and people would always have to call back! :) I love it! :)

@PCTech - That's funny you say that about your wife, because mine don't like that feature either for much the same reason yours don't. I have it forwarded to my wifes cell phone and mine. I have voicemail disabled on my cell phone. She has voicemail on her cell so when the home Vonage phone rings all the phones, I just look at the caller ID on my phone and if it's one of my friends I pick it up. If I don't think it's for me, I don't answer it. It's kind of cool to see all the calls that come into the home phone while on the road. I can see this very useful when the kids get older. :cool:

Yup, I can see the agent orange already acting up now when my daughter gets older :) and starts to date! :) lol, this will be very useful!

I'm using Skype. I buy credits for calling land lines. About 2 cents a minute to call my daugher in Italy. It's free between pc users who have Skype installed.

hey KC; how do you get that feature activated?
sounds pretty cool...

Log-in your account and it's under Features/Call Forwarding section. :cool:

...or after you log-in the first page you are on is the Vonage dashboard, on your right there is a configure call forwarding link. That works too.

Always two or more ways to do something, like McDonald's... "I'm Loving It" :lol:

thanks, KC..I didnt want call forwarding to be enabled, but I saw the tab for "Simu-ring"..Should be interesting!

In the past I have the Skype installed and runs quiest pretty well.
The sounds was very clear and no any interuptions.. very cool communication product.

Ps: Hello wase4711.. nice to see ya here!
