Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I got a phone from Vontage, I told the lady up front that I had satellite and she said that was ok. When i got the phone after messing with it for a few hours I called them and they told me if I had satellite that I wasn't able to use the phone. I asked why the lady didn't tell me up front the man's reply was I am not why she did that. Well, she didn't and they told me to hold on to the phone in the event i was moving. Well, I never moved and when i called them back to cancel after them taking 9.00 out of my account for several months. Well, when I asked for a supervisor they hung up on me. I have been on hold a total of 2 hours alone this morning. I held for 45 minutes before i even got to talk to anyone and then after 20 minutes they hung up on me. Then I started all over...

Forewarning. I should have read this site before switching. I just signed up about one week ago and it has been nothing but frustration and hassles with Vonage. I've read most of the complaints and folks who are complaining are not lying to you. The phone reception is horrible and none of my other lines work because I was told by a Vonage rep that I needed to purchase a wireless phone jack to connect all my other phones. Well the wireless phone jack was 100.00 and it didn't work because I need to disconnect my fax machine --- and when I called Vonage the next rep said I needed a wireless phone jack for each phone outlet. Now, I'm going to attempt to cancel next week --see how that goes but I'm pissed enough to write to warn others. I normally don't post anything but these guys are something else.

Vonage is full of iditos in the customer service department and will steal your money if you let them.

I was charged $41.14 for an adapter that I never used and returned it within the 30 days allowed but was charged another $39.99 + shipping and handeling to return it.

You can't understand most of the people that you talk to, they all speak very poor english.

Stay far, far away from this company.

Used Vonage for about a year with mixed results.. an toll free number was identical to another and resulted in many unwanted calls.. they charged for the unwanted call and would not credit back for mirrored calls and want to charge a cancellation fee for changing the number... the fax line was a hit and miss with lots of drop off for incoming faxes.. it worked ok for outgoing most of the time but you never knew when the outgong fax failed... the best i could do with credit for charges is free servcie ahead for up to 60 days but does mean much if you are canceling a line anyway.. finally, phoning customer service is a nightmare with the outsourced reps (when you finally get to talk to one) unable to do much more than try to up sell you more services... i would not use the service again and do not recommend it to others... shame on vonage, such potential, yet instead lying, cheating, jerks

I WENT WITH VONAGE BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO BE CHEAP. WHEN I SIGNED UP THEY OFFERED ME A SECOND LINE FOR FREE AND I SAID NO THANKS! THEN THEY CHARGED ME FOR 4 MONTHS ON THE SECOND LINE. WHEN I CALLED THEM TO ASK THEM WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON WITH MY BILL THEY SAID THAT I HAD A SECOND LINE. I TOLD THEM THAT I DID NOT AUTHORIZE IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME AND I WOULD NOT GET THE $90 BACK THAT THEY TOOK FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. I THEN FILED A BBB COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM AND BE CAREFUL WHEN I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK THEY DID THAT BUT THEY ONLY CREDITED BACK TO MY VONAGE ACCOUNT. VONAGE THEN WOULD NOT GIVE ME THAT MONEY. THEY SAID I HAD TO USE IT TOWARDS MY ACCOUNT. I WAS THEN VERY UPSET! I HAD TO DISCONTINUE MY SERVICE WITH THEM BECAUSE MY FATHER PASSED AWAY AND WHEN I DID THIS THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $30 TO TERMINATE WHEN I ALREADY HAD A $90 CREDIT ON MY ACCOUNT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT TAKE IT OFF THE CREDIT. SO AFTER I CANCELLED I FINALLY REALIZED THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A REFUND OF MY $90 THEY ACTUALLY CHARGED ME FOR 3 MORE MONTHS AND THERE GOES MY $90 DOLLARS. NOW A YEAR LATER AFTER ALL OF THIS I JUST GOT A COLLECTION NOTICE THAT I OWE VONAGE $39.95 FOR A TERMINATION FEE. I'M DEF'N FILING ANOTHER BBB COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE STEALING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!

Verizon, Brighthouse, Vontage, Att, Spring, named they all are the same, customer services in USA does not work anylonger, CEO's had chosen to get our money into their personal bank, they had given american's the lousy and crapy service possible, sometimes you get lucky and someone in India answer the phone, with an unexplicable none sense answer. All of you don't felt follished, we all are, welcome to the big mass of unhappy customer elite club. Goverment is too Crook, can't do anything either.

With out my permission they closed my present carrier and gave it to another person..At that time I had no phone service. I tried for two days trying to get it reversed. I talked to scores of people who could hardly speak english. I talked to the people who received my telephone number, they then had my number they received cancelled. When I called Vontage they said they had no record of my number. I learned that Level3 Corporation owns the number and when it is cancelled it is returned to Level3 and Vontage no longer even has a record of it. My original carrier got it corrected. If you don't want this happening to you, call your carrier and have themput a 'freeze' on your account. During the time another party had my number they agreed to a pledge of $100.oo to a political party in my name...I have never seen such incompetence.

This is the worst sevice I have ever delt with !

Vontage took (8) days to get to me and 11 phone calls full of lies and run a rounds n ot to mention dealing with non-Americans who can not even speak English clearly ! I was lied to and missed led the entire time. The whole reason why I got Vontage was to use it for my DTV Tivo, I told the sales person and several other Vontage employess this and they all assured me it would work fine (THEY LIED) !

Ways to Improve Vontage:

1. Get some people who speak english clearly and understand it.
2. Dont lie to your customers.
3. Get some customer service trainning.
4. Just like the drive fast food drive thrus need to do, keep the ignorant non American people in the back away from the public.
5. Hire people who now what th ***K they are doing.
6. Learn more about your own product before you try to sell it to someone.

Vontage get your act together !

If my credit card is even charged a penny, I will file a Law suit against Vontage for FRAUD !

Terrible service. after over an hour over the phone with a Vontage rep., and telling that rep., I wanted to be billed by mail and not debit to my credit card, he told me the only way vantage bills go out is by direct debit via credit or debit cards. They would have save me a lot of time if they would have maid clear from the start the way they billed. I was not able to cancel the services that same night be they have "process the order" and I had to call there "customer services personal" (which didn't do nothing) to cancel the order. three days later after calling vontage four time to cancel the order, they went ahead and sent the equipment anyway. It is almost impossible to cancel the services with vontage. Customer services of vantage is very poor.

Vontage sucks! it seems like they don't have enough business so they don't let you cancel your account My husband could never hook vontage up so within a month I canceled my service I spoke with a representive Kevin and he told me no problem Mrs. Holloway you called in time so we will refund your money let me you switch you over to my supervisor when I told her I wanted to cancel she kept trying to persuade me to keep the service i told her i was at work and didn't have time to keep listening she would not cancel my service so I hung up the phone called again in a few days she did the same thing until I was furious and knew my blood pressure was going up the third time I called she told me I would have to pay a cancellation fee which i didn't owe, all this time i was being charged for service i never used, I finally called my bank and disputed the charges my bank refunded all monies except the initial payment, today I recieved an e-mail with cancellation and another fee from my account which my bank also refunded pending investigation, my bank supervisor stated mastercard woul go after thier monies, that was the only way I got them to cancel I also had contacted my lawyer to dispute the unauthorized charges, now I will see what happens...write a leter to the Better Business Bureau! they need to be stopped!

I had signed up w/Vontage Home Service when it first came out. I received the equipment and WE ALL tried to get to work (which it never did). Every time I tried to contact the tech support via email, fax & phone, I could never get through (phone) fax & emails were never returned. I then tried calling the customer service line (which was another hell in itself) and every person who answered hardly spoke English and would tell me that they couldn't help me and that I would have to call tech support (which I could never get through). After a month, I ATTEMPTED to cancel my service (another hell). When I could get through to customer service, once again language barriers & they were always rude. They would hang up on me because they said they didn't like my attitude (frustration at not being able to convey in simple English that I wanted to cancel my service-which I was NEVER able to use). I finally got somebody who understood me & stated that they would cancel my service (no mention of cancellation fee & no refund). I checked my bank that following bill cycle and no charges were taken, so I thought all was good. Wrong! Since the fee was $14.99 I never noticed the deductions (thought they were bank fees) until I really went through my statements. They started billing me for service the month AFTER I cancelled & had been billing me for almost a year (I know that I should have reviewed my bank statement in-depth, but I felt that I was cancelled) When I called them to find out why they were still charging for services they stated that they weren't, when I told them that they were the operator on the line started to raise her voice & tell me that I was wrong and that she didn't need the abuse. I told her that my bank account was being abused & demanded to speak to the manager. She said no & hung up! I tried calling again & pretty much went through the whole thing again & was hung up again. Good thing that I kept my Vontage sorry you cancelled w/us yadda, yadda letter. I contacted my bank & told them what was going on & sent them the letter which had the cancellation date (they also checked my bank records showing the month that coincided with cancellation letters date & stopped all payments & reimbursed me. The kicker, Vontage sent me to collections for non-payment. I was able to get my bank to call them & inform them of the situation. I also wrote to the BBB and informed them about Vontage & their scams. I received a letter back for Vontage after my complaint to the BBB saying they were sorry, but they would not refund my money. I wasn't asking for a refund, since my bank refunded all my money. Scamming Idiots. They also outsource their tech support & customer service, which makes people frustrated because you can not only understand them, but when you try to explain things to them they don't understand half of what you say & accuse you of being unreasonable & hang up on you.

Is this 'Vontage' the same company as 'Vonage'? Cause most of the people on here are complaining about Vontage, while the commercial and the website read Vonage. Are there 2 different internet services out there with similar names?

We signed up with Vonage to save money on our phone bill. The customer rep. assured us our DSL would work with their service. After we transported our phone number to Vonage, we lost our DSL service because it is not a stand-alone DSL provider, which the Vonage rep. would have known. Consequently, we had no phone or internet service for almost 2 weeks and had to use cell phones to contact Vonage and cancel the "1-month free trial". They tried to give us a list of stand-alone DSL providers instead of canceling, but none were available for our area, so we called again to cancel. Apparently they never officially canceled, because we got a bill for the next month's service (billed in advance, strangely enough and debited it from our checking account using the debit card we used to sign up for the service!) After numerous calls and emails, we are still waiting for the refund we are supposed to get once we returned the Vonage router, which we could not use obviously without our DSL service. We had to pay reconnection fees to our telephone company to get phone service and DSL re-enstated. All in all, this whole venture cost us over $ 250.00, a sad lesson to learn when all we wanted to do was save a few dollars on our phone bill! I will never recommend Vonage to anyone and am amazed at all the similar posts complaining about the same thing. The BBB will hear from us too! This is obviously a fraudulent scheme to withdraw funds from people's bank accounts and Vonage needs to be stopped.

I would imagine that these situations could arise but I have had only good luck with Vontage.

I sometimes have static if i am downloading a large file from the internet and talking on the phone but since it is saving me so much money I just avoid downloading while on the phone.

When lightning hit my house they replaced my unit for just the cost of shipping even though it was longer under warranty.

We have had it about 2 years and since I have friends all over the country and family abroad it had been a godsend. I save over 100 bucks a month now.

PS I live in rural vermont and I have comcast internet service

I had Vonage for over a year with little problems but in January of this year, I was without phone service for over a week. Everytime I called customer service, I was on hold for hours upon hours at a time and only got through after a week of this. When I finally got through, they were horrible. The service rep I spoke with said I would receive a survey afterwards and actually wanted me to LIE about my problem to which I said I would not and she went on to tell me it would affect her performance record and I told her the company itself was terrible. I told her that I would be switching back to AT&T and that I wanted to end my service with them. I called AT&T the next day and switched. I continued to get billed by Vonage for several months afterward and called to see why and was lied to beyond belief. Luckily I had scheduled my payments on my American Express Card and they were great to cancel the charges. I also reported Vonage to the FCC and my States' Attorney and they are now investigating their corrupt practices. Look up Vonage and you'll see where they have been sued and lost multi-millions and will do anything under the sun to get your money! This company needs to be driven out of business!

I spent 3 hours on the phone with your company, as I was misrepresented when calling to find out about signing up for service. I was given to 5 different reps and a supervisor named Paul who told me that my card would be charged more money for disconnecting the service I was originally misrepresented on. A rep named Gary even called my telephone provider and conferenced with me regarding that they do not offer stand alone DSL in my area, as I was originally told by Samantha form NJ (Vonage rrep) on 07/30 that my provider did offer stand alone dsl, upon making my first call. I also found in ridiculous that there is a web page of just complaints about your customer service/company.

Respectfully,
Sarah Green.

I have been a Vontage customer going on 3 years now. I have never had a probblem with them and my phone works just fine. I use a cable modem from roadrunner for my internet access. In the beginning when I first started with them I had several questions about the system and never had a problem getting help when calling.

Vontage lied to me from the first phone call I made to them. I was never told that the device would not work on satilight...until it was delivered and I had problems. After playing with it for two weeks, we decided to cancel the service. It was then that I was told that it would cost me $49.97 to cancel and that would be refunded 10 days after they get the device back. They have had the device back for well over the 10 days, but are now saying that it can take up to 3 weeks to get it inspected and a refund issued. Who knows what they will come up with after that time. If I had known about their customer service before had, I would have totally stayed away from Vontage to begin with. Everyone who has a complaint with Vontage should go online to the BBB in NJ and file a complaint. Word of mouth is the best business killer around, and the more complaints that is listed with the BBB the more people will stay away from Vontage.

After switching to a cheaper plan where the rep said there was no charges for switching plan, I was double billed for the same month. When called to rectify the matter, the rep said the 2nd charge was for switching plans. Being fed up, they screwed up my billing 3 previous times before, I asked to terminate the service. And was transferred to waiting music that has continued to play for over a full hour. They don't like to pick up the phone when you want to terminate service! How can I terminate vonage out of my life? Their rep are liars! There are many other instances of lies they are told, I don't blame the rep, its the company that trains them to lie!

Vonage is thoroughly unfair to canceling customers charging you for everything under the sun. It cost me $400 to cancel two lines with the two routers. PLEASE HEAR ME CAREFULLY--- DO NOT EVER OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH VONAGE. If you are not pleased with their service ----- YOU WILL PAY FOR THEIR INEPTITUDE AND POOR SERVICE!

My husband and i signed up for Vontage in August, 2008. Worst mistake we have ever made! We can not pick up any calls. They took money out of our bank account with out our permission. We called to try and resolved this matter in a friendly way, but it came down to being not to friendly. They wanted to take $98.00 more out to have it disconnected, now you tell mw where do they come up with this? We had to go to our bank to make sure they could not touch our money in our account. So i am telling anyone who is thinking of going to Vontage please turn and run as fast as you can, it is nothing but lies and rip offs! They had us on the phone for over 2 hours this morning, like we don't have a life ...OMG I HATE VONTAGE!

Vonage Sales department said Vonage Phone Service and Clearwire Internet Service were compatible. I found out the hard way they were not. The phone system kept rebooting and disconnecting me. I disconnected my service and Vonage charged well over $100 for stopping service. They also overdrafted my checking account by processing my American Express card change of information a day after the charge went through. The sales, customer service and equipment are below acceptable standards and I recommend avoiding Vonage Phone System completely if you are on Clearwire Internet Service. Clearwire is not responsible for anything but the internet connection to your computer not additional services like Vonage. BEWARE. Don't get trapped like I did.

I received my vontage unit in February and realized it would not work with my internet provider. I phoned customer service to and agreed to eat the $50 box but wanted my service shut off. They informed me it would be over a $400 fine to shut it off. What is this did anyone get satisfaction with customer service. Who do I need to talk to because they are still charging my account $10 for a service I have never used!

I too contemplated changing my service from At&t to Vonage, until I started reading other consumers feedback. I am normally one who would sign up and experience something negative and would warn others however I've learned over the years as a consumer if it's too good to be true, then it is. And you get what you pay for. Thanks for the warning, I think I will just stay where I am. FYI: I also have worked in customer service for years and I have witnessed customers being disconnected deliberately. One reason could be because these companies keep track of every phone call a customer service rep takes so if you have a low call volume the rep will answer the call and get the credit but hang up on the customer. Ive had low call volume but the length of time on a call is high because I help the customer resolve the problem but they don't take that into consideration.
