Vonage and why I really like Skype and Gizmo…

MAKE pal David Weekly posts about his Vonage experience, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories like this lately, I went Skype and Gizmo, haven’t looked back …there started to emerge some wierdnesses. Like how the ringing sound would keep playing a few seconds into an answered conversation or into the beginning of a voicemail greeting. Or how the router itself would reboot about once a day, sometimes requiring a full power cycle in order to start routing packets again. Or how incoming phone calls sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t, depending on the phase of the moon or something… Then he couldn’t cancel. Link.
