College Students Go Back To School With Vonage DigitalVoice

Students and Parents Save More Than $600 a Year Using New Home/Dorm Phone Service Edison, NJ, August 20, 2002- With over 15 million students starting college this fall, many students and parents will face the hassle of setting up telephone service, securing and distributing a new telephone number, while dreading costly long distance bills. This year, Vonage DigitalVoice gives students and parents a break from the high prices and annoyances of traditional telephone service by offering two great plans. For $39.99/month high-speed Internet users on campus or at home get free unlimited local and long distance calling and for $19.99/month they get 500 minutes of local or long distance calling - just 4.9¢ a minute after that. Both of these plans include the most popular features and no restrictions on calling times. All of those long distance calls home and local calls to friends at school really add up.
