Ok , here is what I want to do. I want to sign up for Vonage and hang onto my old number to see if I am happy with Vonage. If I am happy can I then have Vonage port my existing land line number over to Vonage?

Yes, you can port your current number at a later date.

Totally possible, but it won't be free.
And you'd have to keep your old number with your POTS phone company until the transfer is complete.

What does Vonage charge to do this? I am interested in doing this myself, but didn't see any mention of this on their web site.

That was one concern I forgot to address in this thread...the cost of doing this. So, lets say 3 months down the road, I tell Vonage I want to replace the number I was originally issued with my land line number I wont get charged anything for doing this?

My mistake. For some reason I was under the impression that if you didn't initiate a number transfer at the time you initially set-up your account, you'd be charged a $9.99 fee for it. I seem to remember somebody running into this problem 4-5 months ago. Oh well.
When you first sign up an initiate a number transfer you are not charged. If at a later date you wish to do a number transfer there is a $9.95 charge plus tax which comes out to be $10.29.
