Vonage phone

[roberto44699]

This is complicated. Use 1-VoIP.com. They are less than $15.00 per month

[howlandsuperman]

Dumb ass, learn how to get your cables right.

[G3ARH3ADx420x]

thank you so much i don't know why they want you to use the b only pipe router as a main router but this will help a lot of ppl out now this does remove all ports you may be triggering or forwarding

[lockdownrocks]

Vonage is $25.99 a month. MagicJack is $19.99 a year.

[manup254]

@lockdownrocks. which do you have? Y does it matter if some choices Vonage over Magic Jack. When this video was made MJ wasnt out. also A big draw back with Magic jack is that you have to have a PC setup and on everytime you use it. I can care less eather way I have a cell phone and google voice now!

[anitarodriguez0102]

Voip is a great concept. I am using Fring along with voip service by voxcorp available at vontrump.com.

[johnnyinsnj]

Pssst. That's basic networking. It was hooked up wrong in the first place.

[manup254]

@johnnyinsnj the point of the video was to show that in Korea you could not go from the modem to the the vonage box.

[manup254]

@johnnyinsnj I am sorry that It wasnt to your standard made it after I figured it out the point of it was that. you could not go from your modem to the vonage box. that was the basis of the post!

[kayangthao]

Phew so much wires.. hahaha I hate lots of wires... drives me crazy...

but... you have monthly service with Vonage, or like with a purchased vonage box, doing that get it free or what?

[conegro1]

@kayangthao 25.99 Monthly Service, but now they have an excellent offer. First three months only 14.99 a month.

[conegro1]

@kayangthao Vonage adapter you get for free if calling directly to the company.  It pays only shipping, 9.995 plus taxes and fees.

[Machinimagameplays]

THIS'S THE OLD VONAGE

[supergooddeal]

I have mine wired just like you did but it is still a piece of crap. I have high speed DSL but not there fastest. I'm starting to think this is where the problem lies for many others also. I live in the armpit of the world so I can't get anything faster. Thanks for posting anyway.

[viadinho7]

IS ANYBODY AWARE THAT VONAGE CHARGE 39.95 FOR DISCONECT THE SERVICE?

[conegro1]

@viadinho7 Now they don't.

[ninja909]

@viadinho7 thats better then stupid cell phones and their contracts. to cancel those it costs like 200 something

[griffgriff100]

lets just start by saying you didn't even have the cords pluged into the right plugs to begin with

[franklong24]

@griffgriff100 what are you talking about

[griffgriff100]

@franklong24 the output from the internet modem was going to the output on the vonage modem, and the input on the vonage modem was going to the output on the router, it should be:

output internet modem > input vonage modem, then output vonage modem > input router

[griffgriff100]

@franklong24 after I rewatched the video, I saw that it was just the router that you had connected wrong, you should have hade the blue cord in the wan port

[chrischacon0101]

@griffgriff100

I found voip available at vontrump.com really wonderful.

[RussMusiq]

I have the same phone..........Costco.

[tollerhirsch]

Thanks for the advice man

[truviet911]

you know how to get the fax works? i been trying but it didn't work.

[Xtragicfever]

Damn, they still use old Skillcraft pens? I got out in 2002, and with all knew stuff the Army is getting I'd figured you would at least modernize the pens. lol

Sorry for hijacking this thread.

[franklong24]

@Xtragicfever its the best pen put!

[petergelderplom]

i luv how u call ur modem an 'internet box'

[GameBoy2036]

I'm not sure if you know this, but do you know pressing that reset button restores your router to default making your wireless network assessable and putting your router's user name and PW back to default making it easy for someone to access it and change things around?

[franklong24]

@GameBoy2036 the walls are thick enough that if your not in th room that you wont be able to log on! I never had a issues with it!

[PB0Y183]

ima get quest internet..will vonage work good with that?

[franklong24]

yes it will work just fine!

[PB0Y183]

@franklong24 aight cool,thanks dude!

[MrJuan360]

man you are the bomb it finaly worked

[franklong24]

great!!

[LVresidence]

VONAGE IS TERRIBLE - Use the magic jack. Vonage tries to rip everyone off with their crappy service and the contract that it comes with shitty! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU GET VONAGE!!!!

[franklong24]

I love mine I have had it for over 4 years now! magic jack is o.k. I have one for when I am gone It does its job but the down side is if keep taking it out and in ports in will break sooner or later!

[mbjl1758]

Vonage sucks so bad. It's only a matter of time before someone sues b/c 911 won't work. Just a matter of time.

[MrJuan360]

thats why you use 411 duh

[mbjl1758]

wtf you talkin bout willis?

[wozzupgamer]

yea but 411 redirects you to 911 or 999 or whatever emergancy number you have in your location

[franklong24]

when I was stateside it worked just fine for me Well when I was in korea i pushed 911 and it went to the 911 back where I use to live sure enough 5 mins later i got a call back asking is everything allright!

[kittyprydex]

We had Vonage for two years in the Ventura County area, and we never had a problem with it. I never had to make one call to customer service. Never had to use the 911 feature, thankfully.

[Trulylatino]

Vonage Suck! I don't recommend it to anyone. I had it for about 4 months now, and the service is so bad, so terrible, that I have called customer service 47 times in that 4 months period, Can you believe it!? Too many service interruptions. The first 2 weeks everything was great, and then the quality of phone service was so choppy that you can't have a conversation with anyone. If you considering in getting Vonage, I can guarantee you, YOU WILL REGRET IT! So what I did, I canceled my service.

[franklong24]

i think that it my have been your internet i have found if I am using alot of bandwith on the pc that my phone calls are chopy

[DerekNS74]

This is a good way to make it work if you do not have your router set up properly, and don't want to figure it out. You could have just disabled DHCP on the router.

The problem is that the Vonage device is looking for an IP, and instead of going to your cable modem for it, it's getting it from your router, which is giving it a private IP. Just disable the DHCP on the router, and everything will have to go to the cable modem for an IP. Everything will work better.

[manup254]

@DerekNS74 Well the issues with what you saying is korea is not like the states this was in south korea where they gov controls the internet. so they relized that people US Mil. was using it and getting around paying money so they blocked it. 

[Kevinqwera]

tubeviews [dot net] finally, a way for your video to be seen.

This rox... Thank you very much.

[jora440]

You need to configure 911 with vonage E911 ,enhanced 911.(Log on to your account Dashboard >features>On the top of the Features page you will see the 911 Dialing feature box in red). To find out if 911 is activated, simply dial 933 from your Vonage phone & it is available in most areas

[raslaje]

Cool. Just tried 933. I knew I entered the info in my account months ago but now I don't have to wait for an emergency to know if I really have it.

Thanks

.

[kylenparis]

ok so it worked in 2008-does it still work in 2009? really need to know...please respond asap! if not does anyone know of any work-arounds that work now?

oh yeah, screw u korea! go build your economy with korean money not off the blood sweat and tears of american service members who are already severely underpaid and under appreciated, cos god knows you dont triple charge your own people to make international calls. oh and you can now start gaurding the dmz - seems like fair trade to me

[franklong24]

the best i know i had an email from someone who got there in Dec and they said it worked I hope that helps sorry it took so long to get back to you

[SANTOZ305]

heyy man can u help me [and mom] lol she bought this shit and idk how to install it..help me dude plese, and i Got Verizon DSL internet...help mee!?

[calvinb1nav]

Yea, it still works. However, using two routers like this really slows down your internet connection especially if you live on base and have to subscribe to the pathetic internet service offered. Also, because of the slow connection if you talk on Vonage, you can't use the internet at the same time. Conversely if you are downloading Bittorrent stuff or something you can't talk on Vonage.

[TeamCrusade]

Hope you never have to dial 911.

[asaisaac]

why?

[TeamCrusade]

Because with vonage when you dial 911, instead of the call going direct to emergency, it goes to the non emergency line or the sheriff's office. Also the police have no way of knowing what is the adress of from where the call came from.

[ballinboi3546]

yea they do they can trace the line. cant they lol??????

[lahusso]

The Vonage Router i have(VDV21-VD) said it was connecting to the Vonage Sender and then said it was registering to the Vonage Network and then i had after i reset the routers and modem

and then i had the handset symbol and it indicated:Ready to Make Phone Call.The information was very helpful.Keep this video on here.

[lahusso]

Typo:Remove the words AND THEN I HAD which follow the word:Vonage Network.

[lahusso]

I have an ARRIS Telephony Modem that uses the USB plug also for the internet connection.

I had trouble getting everything to work with a Linksys Router.I ran the ethernet cable from the ethernet jack on the cable modem to the

Vonage Router Internet Connection and ran another Ehterhet Cable from the Yellow Port

on the Vonage Box to an ethernet jack on the back of the computer and reset all three things (Vonage Router,Cable Modem and Linksys).

[lahusso]

Typo:Ehternet is Ethernet.

[lahusso]

I had trouble getting the Vonage VDV21-VD router to get a dial tone.I got a busy signal

and error codes plus a message saying it wasn't configured and tried several ways of hooking it up and it wouldn't work using Linksys Router.But your method worked.

[yomamaserg29]

thanks man! i needed to know how to fix that but what the yellow cord called

[Lovethyneighbor]

so is it still working? they blocked magic jack now the jerks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smoothj24]

Nice, but there could be a reason why it didn't work. I'm not 100% sure of the situation, but from what I can tell the DSL modem could be locked to the wireless's MAC address. If you power cycle it should correct it. If not, then you may have to do a mac clone on the vonage device so the modem can "think" its still talking to the wireless router. Also, its not good to reset your wireless since you loose all your config, including wireless security. In the end, no matter what - it works!!! :)

[xiardark]

Great post, but what if you don't have a separate router?  SOL? No! If you have a PC, Vonage, Internet, what you do is get a USB cable for your internet modem, hook the modem to PC, vonage to the NIC (ethernet cable port) on the PC and use internet sharing, Voila! Turns the PC into a router more or less. Anyhow, Great post once again and thanks for your service in the military.

[franklong24]

thanx for Comment! I do what i do not cuse I love the USA,but because I feel like it is what my spot in life!!!

[smoothj24]

Hehe, that would work, but you need to keep the computer on all the time (a lot of use do that anyway)

[lucilombardo]

that how it works in germany, too? maybe i should get a vonage..

[FirehouseMike]

This has nothing to do with the Vonage phone... What I'm most interested in is the Coins you have on your table... Are they your Unit Challenge Coins???

Also thanks again I want to thank you for your sevice in the military...

[franklong24]

yes those are what would you like to know bout them! your welcome the lil thanx makes it all worth it

[FirehouseMike]

Well... I know about them, I've got two that I carry when I'm doing DOD work. One is from Goodfellow AFB and the other is from a B-2 Bomber Squad. We also carry one with our Fire Department to remind our guys of their required level of professional actions.

Stay Safe,

FirehouseMike (Old Guy)

[ledisxo]

i really liked this video..i think im going to email you soon because im about to buy vonage service. =)

xoxo- amy

[mythkw]

do not waste money on vonage if ur in the US , there are lot of other VOIP providers with better service quality

Vonage call quality is really bad for the price

[sammy005]

I havne't used it yet, but the immense reviews I read agree with you. I'd go w/Skype

[coondogtheman1234]

you should have hooked your internet to your router first then to your vonage box, thats how i have my wireless router hooked up but instead of a vonage box i have my pc and my other pc is on wifi

[franklong24]

thats how it is done that is how I hooked it up!

[coondogtheman1234]

Cool, well it works doesnt it, my internet works like that

[ricanssuck]

Vonage has the worst customer service i have ever ever had to deal with. Thanks for serving our country. but hey, fuck vonage.

[sistahgirl100]

[justin6061]
