@PC Tech; avoid Uniden 5.8 phones; they sound lousy, and have a very cheap "feel" to them; Vtec or panasonic, is the way to go with 5.8 cordless;
@SlickVic; that is the same setup I have, except I have the one with the dial pad and speaker phone built into the base...You will love the phone, and you can add 2 more for a total of 4 handsets..
@War; lets see, yes, all you need is the Vonage "appliance", and that plugs into an empty hole on your router; you can buy them at Best buy/Circuit City and get a $60.00 rebate from vonage..then you plug your phone system into the appliance...thats about all there is to the install!
Yes, the base has to be near the router and appliance, unless you have super long cords for the Vonnage appliance and the base station of the phone! But, of course the handsets can be as far away as you want them to be; 5.8 ghz has a very long range, so you can talk outside easily with them.
Yes, you can check voice mail from any cell phone or outside phone. they will give you a local number to call to access your voice mail from outside your house; to check from inside your house, on the Vonnage line, you just dial *123, and follow the prompts.. BTW, you can set it up to send you an email every time you get a voice mail message, and it includes a .WAV file attachment of the actual voice mail!!
