Unless things have changed, transferring the number is free if you do it at the time that you sign up.  If you wait, there's a $10 charge.  Since you're a bit uncertain about this and the number is important to you, I'd recommend waiting and paying the $10.

You can install a DialMate CM1003 ( see www.woodtel.com ) and do a call back (for free incoming cell phones), bridge (for free calls to favorite numbers), or forward (for free incoming) using Vonage's Call Transfer feature (so that the Vonage line doesn't get busy, allowing simultaneous multiple calls). You can also program &quot;*69&quot; as the call back number so that you can call from any USA-numbered phone any where in the world.

I would recommend that you *do not* remove the NID.

You have a wire (or more), either overhead or underground, coming to your house inbound to the NID and you have one or more wires going from the NID into your house.

These wires will have to be dealt with (cut off at the exterior of your house, at the ground in underground utility supply, or at the pole of overhead).  Then there will be holes on the side of your house to deal with.

Since this is being done at your request, it'll be on your dime.

Also, as the Telco market changes, you might want to go back to service coming from those wires.  Maybe even a new service that does not currently exist....

Unless you find the NID horribly disaesthetic, I'd leave it there.

p.s.,

DO disconnect the wires going into your house from it, though!!

BLUF:  Vonage has been more reliable than POTS, even including ISP outages, in my experience.

Vonage (the service itself) has had some outages in my &amp;gt;4 years using them.  I don't recall any over a day and probably less than ~48 hours in total.

I've also lost Vonage service through no fault of Vonage - due to ISP outages.  That depends on the quality of your ISP.

All in all, though, I had more outages (both in terms of frequency and duration in aggregrate) with a POTS Telco (SWB) in &amp;lt;2 years than with Vonage (including outages due to ISP problems) in &amp;gt;4 years.

But server crash and other things will. Power failures at your house, internet outage.

Vonage for the most part is pretty secure. I have had Vonage for over 1 year and have only had 1 Vonage outage, and that was for about 24 hrs.

That is correct, you do not need it. Only need it if you reconnect to Verizon.

<title>eavesdropping credit card info</title>

I have never heard of credit card information theft occurring over a VOIP line.  However, I HAVE heard of credit card theft occurring by hacking into various, large and secured credit card data bases.  It seems that any hacker with a sufficient degree of expertise in sniffing and assembling packets would go for a concentration of this information in a database that is dedicated to this information rather than waste his/her time with an occasional credit card transaction over a VOIP line.

If credit card information is to be compromised, I think it is much more likely that it will come from a major financial institution, where there are tens of thousands of accounts, rather than the, relatively, few credit card transactions that a small businessman would process over his VOIP line.

Having said this I would add that while it may be technically possible to hack a VOIP line for the purposes of which you speak, it is highly unlikely that it would happen because it is easier and more profitable to hack into a financial institution's credit card data base.
