About Vonage

Make and receive calls using your home phone service anywhere you use a smartphone, know who’s calling your home number. Different from call forwarding, this new functionality allows shared use of a family’s home phone identity. Calls made to the home phone number will now ring on mobile phones at the same time so anyone in the household can immediately take important calls from doctors, children’s schools, home improvement professionals, friends and family. Gives you a second identity on your mobile phone and more control over when, how and where you communicate. HomePhone. Anywhere.

    Absolute nightmare Company. I transferred my phone number to Vonage in October 2024. On Saturday they ported it out to Tracfone to a identity thief. I called vonage and the person I spoke with could barely speak English and could not understand my problem or help me. I filed a complaint with the FCC. Jeff ** of Vonage called me. He did not apologize. I asked what information they asked for before transferring my number. His answer. "Name, address and the number, that's all we need." I asked if they carry out any authentication. He said "No, we are not required to." I asked if he would get my phone number back and he said "well, we will try" in a tone that made clear they didn't think it was their problem. Scammers now have full control of my phone. Stay away from these people.

    I love resetting my password over and over. I have nothing better to do with my time than run after Vonage. Trying to figure out how to even block a caller takes unnecessary time. ** overcharged sneaky crap. Like dating sites where there is no real person anywhere.

      I wish there was an option to give minus stars, Vonage deserves -10 stars. For starters there is no customer support, I am trying to get into my account on the admin page and I can't log in. It's been 1 hour. The phone call to CS will keep repeating the questions and make you so frustrated, that you will pick up the phone out of the wall and smash into the same wall. They charge God knows what, I can't understand my bills and there is literally no one to talk to. It sucks. I need to take myself off from this company and never ever go back again. It is the worst company on the planet.

      I wish I came across this page before we moved forward with Vonage. Our company has been experiencing multiple issues with this product. The system goes "down" a lot and our clients are unable to get a hold of us which hurts our business. When making an attempt to add another line/extension and asked about pricing, was notified that it was $9.99

      Not only was the $9.99 not accurate and had fees and taxes attached to it, it did not include the extension. When asking how much the extension cost, I was notified that it was $27.99. I think I would have been ok with the entire price up front; however the representative was dishonest about the pricing and found it appalling that the extension we use to transfer internally in our small office of 5 people would cost us more than the actual line itself. I understand hiring people out of third world countries offers them a livelihood; however not being able to speak to someone that understands English is very challenging.

      Just keeps getting worse and worse. For MONTHS now, we have not been able to send texts. At least we could still receive them, though. Now we cannot even receive them. And, for months, Vonage has not cared. They seem to be making ZERO effort to provide the service they are billing for, and zero concern. To make matters worse, you cannot download a list of your own contacts to use elsewhere, no way to do that, they hold your contacts hostage. And once you are trapped with them, you will wait for as long as they can possibly delay, porting your numbers elsewhere. Do NOT get trapped by these scam artists. You are better off using US Post office or your own cell phone over using these jokers.

      I cannot imagine a way to create a worse service for phones, but I promise you, the people at Vonage are working hard to find ways to make things even worse every day. I cannot strongly enough say, DO NOT, EVEN IF THEY ARE THE only OPTION YOU CAN FIND FOR PHONES, DO NOT USE VONAGE! Use a pair of cups and strings before you resort to these jokers.

      Absolute nightmare. Avoid at all costs. Attempted to use Vonage for my business and it never worked. I returned all material and never received a credit AND am still getting billed after cancelation. Total scam and cannot get anyone from Vonage to respond.

      Wow. Just wow. I rarely write reviews by the way but this one is necessary. Been with this company for a year already and it's not from choice. Getting your number transferred out of it is a hassle, so beware! Where should I begin? Called to cancel my plan multiple times because their app just simply sucks. I am personally using the business app feature on my personal phone.

      - Calls don't come through when you're on the phone with someone.
      - Customer cannot hear me on the phone which causes the customer's frustration so I'd have to call them through a normal line.

      - When on the line with a customer if I'd exit the screen then they can't hear me.

      These are the big things which definitely makes communication between the company and our customers very difficult. Now let's get to their customer service.... Oh boy... So when I called to cancel at first I was transferred to a nice lady, I shared my frustration with her regarding the performance of the app along the other issues such as pricing... Yeah the pricing, $50 a month, and that's just the beginning once you sign in it's "paid add-on features" crowd the entire menu, so when you try to look to change or edit something, even for someone like me who knows software development is hard to navigate on their site.

      Anyways, I shared my opinions with her and told her there many other companies who are charging way cheaper for a much better system. She assured me she'd be able to help me out with deducting my price to $25 a month and transferred me to someone who would "help" me with some of the software issues I was having along with adding a couple add-ons to my system to ensure it was working well.

      The worst customer service of my life, this guy had literally worst customer service I've ever seen. Saying he'd been working there for 25 years or whatever and he's sure that when you are on the other line on your phone the app won't trigger calls from Vonage. I felt like I was arguing with a child. Anyways, I end up saying screw that phone call and hung up. Just not worth dealing with. Business owners already have so much to do a phone system should be something to worry about anymore these days.

      Vonage has been a terrible experience. My cleaning business relies on the ability to text with our customers. In early May the ability to text went down. It is November and it is still not restored. This has severely hurt my business. I have been reassured numerous times through email that it will be restored shortly. The most frustrating part of dealing with Vonage is that there is no way to speak to a customer service representative. The only option is to send an email. About a week later you will receive a general response that is no help to your situation. There is also no way to reply back to the email. I have never seen such a ridiculous company. I highly recommend you do not use Vonage.

      We have been using Vonage for over three years, paying a premium compared to other providers because they once prioritized quality and reliability. Initially, they were relevant and had their operations together. However, over time, Vonage has become too bloated to prioritize customer needs. For over a month, Vonage failed to address a critical SMS outage, showing a clear lack of priority for their customers and an evident disregard for serious business standards. It’s unacceptable for a B2B service to remove SMS functionality without effective communication, timelines, compensation, or any real solution. Vonage has become too large and complacent, losing sight of what matters—its customers and its relevance in the industry.

      We no longer recommend Vonage and strongly advise others to stay far away from a provider that no longer values its clients or its place in the industry. We’ve chosen to partner with a provider who takes their business as seriously as we take ours.

      They were good as far as the actual up time. But since they like hiring third world unlikable people that can't speak proper English I have devoted my time and money to a company that supports and employs local. I will never go back to supporting a company that outsources their customer service.
