Well after two years I am canceling. I called to get a upgrade of my Vonage device to a wireless Vonage device they couldn't help me.
I am not going to let them auto renew me for two years when they cant help me with there special equipment. It isnt my fault I cant buy what ever I want and use it with Vonage unlike other company's let you do. I was told its not secure enough. I was like so these other company's are more secure then Vonage the #1 digital phone service. He said no I didn't mean it like that.
So heres Good Bye Vonage. Open up and let us use what we want instead of limit us to crappy routers models to choose from. |

Why didn't you just buy a wireless router? Or a wireless Vonage adapter from a box store?
I have the original adapter in the closet as a back up. |

hmmm, I believe after your initial 2 years you are month to month. |

6.2 Automatic Renewal. The terms of this agreement automatically renew for the same term unless you call us to cancel your service before the end of your current service term. 1-VONAGE-HELP (1-866-243-4357) The renewal begins on the day after the last day of your term.
I made sure they didnt sign me to a contract and got the next 2 months free and my bill is $14.99 a month instead of $24.99 for a year. |

Are you saying that you are cancelling yoru service because you did not get a free hardware update?
When you want a new cell phone, does your cell phone company give you a free phone without asking you to extend your contract? Vonage is not doing anything different than the cell companies.
When my adapter eventuallu fails, I expect that I will have to buy a new one, call Vonage and have them register my number sto the new adapter. I do not expect them to give me a free adapter. |

You must not be part of the new "beggar" generation, who expect everything to be given to them. |

He (nighthalk) first said he cancelled, because they would not give him new equipment and he was under the assumption that his contract auto renews for another two years WITHOUT any benefit. I think that is an incorrect assumption.
Then it appears he talked to Vonage, who gave him 2 months free and unlimited service for 14.99 vs 24.99 without a commitment, ie month to month.
I wonder if the 14.99 is for the 500 minute plan. If unlimited, nice deal! |
