Depends on the wireless standard. I'm guessing 802.11x so you'd need a router like a Linksys BEFW11S4 (what I use) or something similar (Netgear makes some nice stuff). Just plug your Vonage MTA into the router, open some ports and enjoy.
Both would be fine. Just put your cable modem, router and MTA right near where your POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line comes into the house and hook up. Of course plugging the MTA right into a cordless phone (or multiple phone cordless phone system) is the easiest and most flexable way.
A few things to think about:
- Vonage rates to the UK are dirt cheap (like $0.02 per minute). I have yet to hear of a better deal.
- IFAIK sometime soon you'll be able to get a virtual number in the UK so your friends can call you for free. They could also use a free Voip only service like FWD (freeworlddialup) and call you for free from their computer. AFAIK there's a Vonage to FWD gateway being test right now and the FWD to Vonage gateway works well (from FWD just dial "**243 1 800 555 1212" if your Vonage number was 800 555-1212).
- Don't get a POTS line in the new place and then decide to transfer the number to Vonage. If you get your number from Vonage you'll have service in less time (like a few days) than it takes the local telco to setup a POTS line.
- Make sure that the new place can get Internet access.
- If you have a problem or other questions post them to this group for an answer.
Vonage isn't perfect but IMO it's so much better than POTS service it's not even funny. IMO POTS will be gone within the next ten years and everyone will use Voip.
