I just found out the other day that my internet company now allows me to drop my phoneline and still keep the internet so I ordered VONTAGE.

Here are the issues.

Whenever someone calls me they have to dial the area code first.
That really sucks, if I give someone my number they are not going to know that they have to dial the area code for a local number. Im sure im going to miss a ton of calls because of this.

I just dropped my regular phone and may have to pick it right back up.

Imagine someone trying to call you without dialing the area code and getting a wrong number message.

They are just going to assume that its not the right number.

Another problem is your number is not listed in the phone books.

These are things they dont tell you on the comercials. So keep that in mind before you signup for the service.

we have had 10 DIGIT dialing here in ottawa and montreal for a long time now, so that isnt an issue. I can understand how it might be tho.

Yea, here in Houston we also use 10 digits to dial because of various are codes within the city. I think if you call 911 they aren't able to call back using Vonage either.

I have VONAGE as a secondary line, I have an OTTAWA area code with my VONAGE even though I live in Montreal.

This means that anyone in OTTAWA (my hometown) can call me for free by simply dialing my Ottawa number.

There are some challenges if you use VONAGE as your main number. One of them is the 911 thing, but I do beleive that VONAGE has a solution for that.
