| I've tried a couple of PC based voice communication programs, but not vonage, with mixed results. Google talk worked ok, with a little lag, but Skype stunk. Often, the voice would be choppy. |

I went ahead and ordered Vonage I have a 30 day trial. If it works ok I will be getting the same service that verizon is charging for about $50 less a month!  |

I canceled the vonage it would work good some times and there were times the person I was talking to I could hear real well but I was breaking up when I would talk back to them like a bad cell signal. |
