Vonage over simplifies sometimes and whiile they tout Voip as a landline alternative, ithey could be a little more upfront instead of burying in the TOS.
But that is the point . . . Vonage is an ALTERNATIVE to traditional landline, not the same as . . . more and more cell providers are touting some of their plans as alternatives to land lines . . . and many people are starting to replace land lines exclusively with cell phones . . . very few, if any, cell companies state that the plans that they tout as alternatives for land lines are not compatible with alarm systems. Yes, at least to me that seems more obvious, but still -- the point is, offering an ALTERNATIVE to something does not imply that it is completely the same and works the same way . . . if a consumer infers this, it is the consumer's mistake and should call for more research on the consumers' part.
LOL this is crazy Sounds like some work for Vonage IMO I think its a simple Fix post the alarm issues right up there with everything else Have they done this yet? REALLY WHAT DOES A PHONE DO ????? MAKE AND RECIEVE CALLS.... seems to be cut and dry to me what systems use a landline ??? PHONES ALARMS and??????? explane what else the land line is used for?? So to all of you bobn a weaving about the issue (and you should read TOS etc... ) It should still be posted within the first paragraph It is very important fact and should be clearly seen not pushed to the bottom of the page or some other page you hav to click etc...
