Dialed In...

I have a good friend Lavelle Anderson, he is in the U.S. Air Force and is stationed in South Korea. Although he is located tens of thousands of miles away, I can simply pick up my telephone, dial a U.S. number - and within just a few seconds be talking to him like he was right down the street. The sound quality is superb and we don't ever get disconnected. Any time Lavelle wants to call someone in the U.S. - all he has to do is pick up his $10 telephone and dial the number.

Isn't modern technology wonderful?

Lavelle uses Vonage to provide his telephone service. All of the phone calls are made over the Internet with the assistance of a device that plugs into his computer. That inexpensive telephone of his just plugs into the device. Any regular telephone will do, in fact - a lot of folks use the cordless type. Almost any feature that you'd find on your regular telephone line such as call-waiting, call-forwarding, etc. is offered by Vonage and the cost is around $25 a month which includes unlimited long distance. Vonage has received several national awards just in the past year for its quality of service.
