Just an Idea that if I bring the receiver box and connect it to the internet in the country outside the US., will it work??? Bcoz it just connects to the internet isn't it???
Anyone know about this please answer me, thanks
PS. I'm using [ADMIN EDIT] just 20$ a month. Same service as Vonage
and while we're on "what Vonage says" http://vonage.com/features_terms_service.php Vonage reserves the right to terminate your Service immediately and without advance notice if it determines that you are using it outside the United States or Canada.
How very interesting. The Vonage help knowledge base says it's OK! to use your service out of country, but in fine print that will take a week of study for a lawyer, the terms of service say you can't do it. A bit conflicting info, yes.
So, even Vonage is not free from babel. Talking out of both sides of their mouths. I'm disappointed.

Whether it is illegal depends on what country you're in and whether they have prohibited Voip or require Voip providers to be registered/licensed.
What Vonage says in their terms of service is that they won't be responsible if you end up in chains for using it outside the US and that they aren't going to support you if you have problems.
However, it is not a violation of the terms of service to use it outside the US or Canada. If you plan to use it in a foreign country you need to check with the laws there to see if it is legal.

No, through the fine print Vonage reserves the right to shut you off. I am sure they reserve this right in the event that some foreign entity puts pressure on them not to provide service in that territory.
The knowledge base and the terms of service aren't necessarily at odds, Vonage is not offering international service, but they aren't specifically prohibiting that use.
