Vonage if u have dsl, u need to keep a basic phone service for it to function coz a dsl is dependent
if u have dsl, u need to keep a basic phone service for it to function coz a dsl is dependent on that phone to continue functioning. lets say u have 1 phone # right now with qwest and that number is 111-1111. and lets say u have dsl with qwest as well. ur dsl right now is tied up/dependent with the 111-1111 number that u have. if u disconnect the service for the 111-1111 number (lets say u transfer it or u cancel the service with qwest) u will also lose the capacity to have ur dsl on that line.
bottom line is, if u want to continue having ur dsl, u have to keep the 111-1111 number active with the most basic service from qwest. then u sign up with Vonage with a new number. since Vonage works thru the internet, u will still be keeping the same set up with qwest now and just downgrade to the most basic plan for the 111-1111 number to comtinue. then u get Vonage as an add-on number/service.
so meaning, Vonage will be thru the internet, u will have a new number and receive calls on Vonage independently. u will still receive calls on ur qwest number 111-1111 the way u do it right now. to make it simplier, u will have two phone lines and two numbers coming to ur house after u get Vonage. one will go thru the normal telephone lines, the other one thru ur high speed internet connection.
basic installation:
internet-dsl/cable modem-Vonage phone adapter-telephone
* but if u dont want the hassle, u can just get a cable internet connection instead. and since cable internet is not dependent on the phone line, then u can disconnect ur dsl with qwest, free ur number and transfer that. if u can get an independent dsl with qwest that will be gud as well. since independent dsl is not dependent on the phone line to function, u free ur number, just have the dsl and transfer ur number to Vonage.
Read The Full Thread: Pre-Sale Confusion... Separate lines? DSL vs. # Transfer...
• Okay, so I have to say, I'm happy I happened across this forum. I've contacted Vonage
• as long as quest provides DSL without phone service from them you will not have
• You don't say if you transfering a number or not. Because if you are, the situation
• Sorry, yes, we would want to transfer our number - which right now is associated
•
• In our case, Qwest will provide a standalone DSL line - so are you sure?
• isn't the whole point of this thread naked, bare, standalone, whatever you want
• Let me answer the question another way.. I think I can understand what the DSL/Vonage
• Thanks mcdowelljc -
That answers quite a few questions. So, if I'm hearing
