Just like when getting bids for a project, the one that is way under the others can be a caution flag. Cheap is not always good when it comes to service. Choose a provider that has a price that is reasonable with the competition (middle or upper middle), but not a low cost provider. You’ll be happier in the end.
Thanks for sharing this. Would definitely try this Vonage. Continue to share informative such as this.
Vonage is really a good service when compared to its call quality. In my experience, if your first experience is good, then Vonage is your life time choice.
