Vonage!!!!?

Ok, I want vonage for my telephone, I heard it is like 25 dollars a month. What kind of features does it include? Is there any hidden fees, why is it so cheap for all that stuff? Thanks!

1. Vonage is not really the cheapest in VoIP ( broadband) phones...sunrocket is much cheaper....but before you do anything....check your this website...there have a forum where ppl post there"real" cost to have a VoIP phone... http://www.dslreports.com/ vonage features.... Voicemail Plus Caller ID with Name Call Waiting Call Return Repeat Dialing International Call Block 311 Dialing Call Forwarding Call Transfer Call Hunt Area Code Selection Vonage V-Forecast 511 Traveler Information Vonage Moves With You V-Access Ring Lists Click-2-Call Caller ID Block 3-Way Calling In-Network Calls 811 Dialing Keep Your Phone Number I got Packet8 and my bill is 24.56 a month...for E911 fee....tax...state and local...now...everyone wants a tax now....that might be the only "hidden" fee... free long distance, 5 European countries for free, the features are great!
2. Vonage, Packet8, Skype. They work - IF AND ONLY IF you have a really good internet connection. There are some details to check. They may sound kinda dumb, but you would be surprised at some of the answers if you live outside a major metro area. Ask them: Can you get a local number in your town? How do they handle 911 calls? Ask yourself: If my internet is down - am I ok with the phone being down also? Am I OK with call quality that may sometimes be about the same as a cell phone with bad coverage? If you like the answers - go for it. The prices are certainly good.
