Sweet, Vonage

We saw an ad in the paper this past weekend that Circuit City is having a special on Vonage phone service, so I went by there today while Ann was at work and signed up and they activated it in the store and everything. Our handsets need to charge overnight, but we have phone service at the townhouse now. It got to be such a hassle using just our cell phones. If we wanted to make a call, we'd have to try to remember where we put our phone last, and if someone called we'd have to run upstairs or downstairs to find the phone before voicemail picked up. Ann will email everyone with the phone number sometime tonight.

Since Vonage gets phone access through the internet, we were able to choose any area code we want, so I figured since we both have family in the Wharton area I'd choose a Wharton number (they didn't have East Bernard or El Campo for 979). And the cool thing about Vonage is that since it gets access through the internet, we can take the phone adapter anywhere we can hook it up to high speed internet and hook a phone up to it. So if for some reason we had to move, we don't have to have the phone company do anything with our phone service, we just take the adapter with us and when we get internet, hook the phone back up and have a dial tone.
