[Hidden-tech] vonage comments?

[tom/ reelife productions]

mary,  thanks for the feedback.  your experience seems to be a little 
too common for me to be confident about signing up.  epinions alone had 
quite a lot of negative opinions as well as other review 
sites...customer service especially poor. thanks, though...still 
deciding on other options or whether to do it at all.  big cost savings 
but might not be worth the hassle.

thanks.
