Vonage V-Phone

VI don't know why I get so excited about stuff like this, but the Vonage V-Phone is really a cool concept phone. The photo you see to the left is the new Vonage V-Phone. Vonage is the VoIP provider that has a huge advertising push on and is finally getting traction.

You've seen their commercials... I like the one with the woman who sees dolphins out in the ocean and wants to jump in and swim with them (unfortunately they happen to be sharks), and even a Vonage box to the head doesn't stop her from jumping in the water - people do stupid things - like not use Vonage. That's the pitch. Check out YouTube for all the Vonage commercials - they really are hilarious.

The V-Phone is essentially a USB Drive with a headset that plugs into it. The drive has storage capacity for the things you usually float to an external drive, but more importantly, the drive contains the software that works the "phone" and a speaker/headset that simply plugs into the device.

This is the type of device you can wear around your neck and plug into any computer that has a high-speed Internet connection and you are ready to talk - and talk - and talk! The cost of this little gizmo is what I like to call "EASY" at $39.99 for the phone and $24.99 per month for UNLIMITED calls anywhere in the US and Canada.

VoIP Technology is only getting better and better and this device is perfect for parents with students out of state or business people who need a back up phone option. Check one out.
