07/28/2004 03:08 PMStart-up finds talk is cheap with Vonage: I've heard a lot about
Vonage and seen their ads, but I
was never able to pin down exactly what they did. Turns it its
commercial Skype with
hardware.
Its service is simple. Vonage sends customers an Internet phone
box, which looks like a small cable TV box. The box plugs into most
high-speed Internet connections. Almost any telephone plugs into the
box.
The phone works like any other phone, but Vonage is routing the
calls over the Web. (If the person on the other end of the line is not
a Vonage user, the call will hop onto a regular phone line for the
very last leg of its journey.)
This is the future.

NY Wants To Regulate Vonage
NY Wants To Regulate Vonage
05/20/2004 01:09 AMAdd New York to the list of greedy states along with California,
Florida and Minnesota that want to get as much money out of VoIP
providers as possible by declaring them phone companies. New York has
become the latest state
to
declare Vonage a phone company that they can now regulate. This
is a backwards step that is likely to slow down the acceptance of
VoIP. While it may mean that the NY state government can suck a few
extra taxes out of people, it will mean slower adoption, which means
slower economic growth. Even worse, they're doing this while the FCC
has made it clear that they're still reviewing this issue and had told
states to leave VoIP providers alone while they come up with a
position at the federal level. This is merely a short-term grab at
extra tax revenue.
Vonage, 2nd try for IP telephony
Vonage, 2nd try for IP telephony
12/17/2004 06:36 PMLast summer I switched to lingo.com, an IP phone service that
proved to be cheap but
unreliable. Starting last week Lingo failed altogether and
their tech support folks (available only by phone, which is kind of
irksome) failed to call back, so I ordered Vonage, which is the same
$25/month but does not include Western Europe in its unlimited calling
region and has higher international rates.
Here's how Vonage has worked...
- Vonage sends you a brand-new Linksys broadband router with
included IP phone jacks and three Ethernet jacks; if you were relying
on your old router for 802.11b or to use as an 8-port hub you may have
to buy some new networking gear
- the customer service Web site is very slow and about 25% of the
time page requests produce an error page with a "try again later"
instruction
- tech support is available through a form on their Web site; this
form asks for your name, phone number, account number, etc., even
though you've already logged in and it should have all of his info as
part of your account profile
- tech support via phone results in a "we're experiencing an
unsually high volume of calls; try again later"; customer service
(billing, etc.) can be reached after a 15-minute wait in queue
- they say that they never received my FAXed letter of authorization
to transfer my old number from Lingo and want it refaxed
- when set to simultaneously ring my cell phone Vonage does ring the
cell but I can't hear callers (they can hear me though)
They say that it will take two months for them to transfer the
phone number from Lingo, so I'll have to pay $25/month to Lingo for
forwarding until that happens.
[Update: I believe that I unfairly maligned Vonage in regards
to not being able to hear callers on calls simultaneously rung to my
cell phone. It turns out that it is my PalmOne Treo flaking out
on the very day that I installed Vonage! This makes Treo #10
that has failed, I think. It lasted about two months, just like
the others. Anyone have a suggestion for a GSM phone that will
do a calendar and contacts sync with Microsoft Outlook?]
[Dec 3 Update: When voicemail is pending, the Vonage system
fails to change the dial tone. A second try to reach technical
support (at 1:30 pm Eastern time) resulted in the same "we're too busy
to talk to anyone" recording. The voice quality of calls is
somewhat low, with some constant static.]

03/06/2004 01:59 AMMy Vonage phone arrive yesterday afternoon. I followed the simple
instructions for plugging it into my cable modem and now I'm making
calls to anywhere in the US or Canada - 500 minutes/month for $15. So
far, the sonic quality has been as good as a "real" phone. Yep, them
Voice over IP bits can hold their own. And the plain ol' telephone
company, the one with the network that's too smart for it's own good,
ought to be worried....
Vonage: Strike One
Vonage: Strike One
08/06/2004 03:25 PMI was scheduled for a phone call with a VIP today, and when he got on
the line (my office Vonage phone), it was unusable, multi-second
delays on each voice round-trip. Damnably, I didn’t have my
cellphone with me, so we had to reschedule. I called up Vonage, had
to punch through two levels of slow menu (could be worse I suppose) to
get to the tech support queue where I waited for five minutes
listening to vasty echoing silence to talk to someone who put me on
the tech support queue (“I thought this was tech support?” “No,
I’m a general-purpose service representative.”) Which picked up
after only a minute or two, and he made a vague attempt to blame my
ISP and said he’d sent a couple of downloads to the phone that
should address the problem. So, if it’s a known problem with a
known fix, why don’t I already have it? I don’t have to do this
kind of thing for either my land-lines or mobile. All in all, I’ve
been fairly happy with Vonage so far, but much more of this could sour
the relationship quickly.

12/18/2003 11:57 AMGetting the scoop once again, Om Malik reveals that Vonage is working
on software that would let you use their broadband Voice over IP
telephone...
Vonage Goes Portable
Vonage Goes Portable
12/18/2003 03:38 PMOm Malik breaks the news that Vonage will soon have laptop and
PDA-based software client for its service: It's not news that Vonage
has tens of thousands of subscribers, nor that they offer a
high-quality, full-featured hardware-based broadband voice-over-IP
service that allows you to map multiple incoming real phone numbers to
your virtual line. It also not news that you can get high-quality
software VoIP clients; I'm personally enamored of Xten's suite, which
work with Windows, Mac OS X, LindowsOS, and Linux. They're beautiful
and come in free and paid flavors, including a multi-line conference
version. The Xten clients can interface with any standard SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol) server, and many of the VoIP providers who offer
long-distance over the Internet use standard SIP gateways. But getting
from Xten outbound to the VoIP provider is a pain: I had to have the
CEO of Xten provide me the details for a couple of VoIP services;
those details aren't on the VoIP long-distance service sites. Then
there's the question of inbound service. Even though you can use Xten
as the default client with Addaline.com, it's unclear whether you can
receive inbound calls via their service. Most of the VoIP in software
is focused on making calls to the PSTN and receiving calls from other
folks using services like Free World Dial-up, which provides you with
a free non-PSTN VoIP number and SIP gateway. Om's scoop is certainly
that Vonage is going to package the software and PSTN offering into a
no-configuration package that will be as easy to use as their hardware
service. Vonage's hardware solution is pretty simple: open the box,
plug it in, wait a minute. You're done. Voice mail calls can be
alerted via email, and other features can be enabled through the Web
site's dashboard for your account. Because Vonage works over
broadband, a Pocket PC or a laptop equipped with their soft client in
turn connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot or access point means free phone
service everywhere -- it's another incentive to lower cell phone plans
(for roaming purposes) and increase the number of hot spot locations.
I'm a recent Vonage convert. I use my cell phone as my office and
roaming line, and although I'd switched to a $130/month plan from
Cingular because of their rollover minutes, I had $250 and $450 bills
in September and October during particularly intense work periods.
Yes, that's...

03/13/2003 10:24 AMRaffi Krikorian's review of Vonage's Voice-over-IP phone-service is a
great, info-civilian-oriented overview of the best way to secede from
your phone company.
The Edison, New Jersey based company gives you one Cisco ATA186 and a
phone number in an area code of your choosing (I had a little piece of
northern New Jersey in my living room). You have a choice of two
different levels of service to go along with this box: for
$25.99/month you get unlimited local/regional calling (where
local/regional is defined by the area code you choose for your phone
number) and 500 minutes of free US long distance, and for $39.99/month
you get unlimited long distance. And you also get international rates
that rivals most common calling cards. The only problem is that the
service only delivers one ATA186, and that specific model is required
to use the service -- no other SIP compatible devices are supported
yet. If you want to use more than one phone with the box, you will
either have to rig up a network of telephone splitters and wires; or
you can do what some have done and hack your house to plug the Cisco
box into your house's in wall telephone network.

01/04/2005 12:45 AM Engadget slips the news that Vonage ships its F-1000 Wi-Fi handset:
The handset will work over hotspot networks allowing Vonage customers
to use their service while roaming. Boingo and Vonage had a deal in
place to test out VoIP over Wi-Fi hotspots, but it's unclear here in
the late evening how that ties together. Also, Vonage's site doesn't
yet list the announcement, so we don't know if they've partnered with
various networks to ease authentication. Authentication, or providing
credentials that let you use a given hotspot network--whether a paid
login or a WPA encryption key or handling 802.1X, even--is the biggest
stopping block in allowing VoIP over hotspot to work. A technology
like EAP-SIM, which would use a GSM SIM module to authenticate, might
be one method of logging in. But it requires every hotspot or hotspot
network that wants to allow this sort of connection to build the
back-end to handle it....

Vonage Goes VoWiFi -- How Big Is The
Market?
Vonage Goes VoWiFi -- How Big Is The
Market?
01/04/2005 06:57 AMVonage is about to pick up quite a bit of press coverage for their
unveiling of "plans" to offer a WiFi phone that
will work with their service. It wasn't a secret that they were
working on such a plan, and it sounds like this isn't so much a launch
as it is a confirmation that they plan to launch it at some point
(giving them an extra chance at getting some publicity). The phone,
expected to cost about $100, will let subscribers use their Vonage
VoIP accounts from WiFi hotspots, but there are a bunch of questions.
While this does appear to be one of the first widely marketed attempts
at consumer VoWiFi, it's still not clear there's really that much
demand for this type of solution. Most people savvy enough to want
one of these will already have a mobile phone. While it's true that
VoIP won't eat up minutes the way cellular plans do, most cellular
plans offer such large buckets of minutes and free long distance,
making them effectively flat-rate as well. Even if the calls are
international, things like
VoIP
bridges offer a reasonable solution for a mobile phone user who
wants to make cheap international calls. Furthermore, it requires
people to carry
yet another device -- and, in this case, one
that probably has a fairly short battery life, considering the rate at
which WiFi consumes power. It's also unclear how the phone manages to
log onto fee-based or subscription-based WiFi hotspots, without which
the phones usefulness could be diminished even further. Also, it's
doubtful that these phones can handle handoff between different access
points without dropping a call, which forces you to be somewhat
stationary when using the phones. The whole thing is a bit
reminiscent of the old
Rabbit
Phones in the UK. Yes, there are some people who will find it
useful, but it's likely to be a fairly small number. I could see it
being useful for some people who just want to use it in their homes,
but don't want to go through the trouble of wiring a phone up to an
adapter that's across the home. Also, it
would be easier than
bringing along the adapter for someone who travels frequently to
places with WiFi. However, it would seem that if anything along the
lines of a VoWiFi solution would make sense, it would be much more
likely to be something merged with a mobile phone so you would just
carry around a single device. That means either having the carriers
offer it (and that's not likely any time soon -- or with much
enthusiasm if they ever get around to it, as they have no desire to
eat away at their own minute plans) or letting people install a
softphone on a smartphone that has WiFi.
Vonage, SBC Fight Over 911 Calls
Vonage, SBC Fight Over 911 Calls
03/30/2005 11:08 PMVonage is in a bit of hot water over its
E911
efforts lately -- though, it seems to mostly be a political ploy.
However, now comes the news that Vonage approached SBC last month
about
running a
private trial of an E911 service that would require SBC to give
Vonage access to some routers and databases. SBC refused, pointing
out that if they work privately with Vonage, there are a hundred other
VoIP providers who will want to work privately with them also. They
would prefer to come up with standards across the board that everyone
can use -- which makes a lot more sense. While Vonage's request was a
bit silly, it does show they know how important the VoIP-911 issue is
becoming.
Update: Of course, some are
claiming this means VoIP E911 service
will be held up -- which is ridiculous. This is only about delaying
E911 for
Vonage's proprietary method of doing E911. In this
case, SBC is right. There should be a standard way, across the board
for VoIP providers to do E911 and connect with the telcos.

Vonage VoIP Stops Working
Vonage VoIP Stops Working
08/02/2004 03:18 PMOne of the few remaining hurdles for most users concerning any plan to
ditch a traditional landline and go completely VoIP is the reliability
of the service. If your power goes out: no VoIP. If your broadband
connection goes down: no VoIP. Now, Vonage, the leader of the
independent VoIP providers just convinced a bunch of people to hold
off a little longer by
having
their own internal problems, so that many users couldn't make
outgoing phone calls for an hour and a half this morning. There are
plenty worse things in the world that could happen, but people are
used to being able to pick up their phone and dial without having to
worry about whether or not a dialtone exists.
Update: Turns out
Vonage wasn't the only VoIP provider having problems. Over in Hong
Kong, two independent VoIP providers are
accusing broadband provider PCCW of disrupting their
VoIP connections on purpose -- to keep people using PCCW's
landlines. It seems unlikely that the same thing happened with
Vonage, but it does raise that issue of
network
neutrality again.
Vonage Making VoIP For Dummies?
Vonage Making VoIP For Dummies?
01/09/2004 09:50 PMFor years, VoIP systems were slow to catch on for two very big
reasons: (1) the quality really wasn't that great and (2) they were a
pain to set up. The quality issue has pretty much gone away, and
Vonage should get some credit for creating a popular solution that
solves the second problem. Setting up a Vonage line is painfully
easy, and makes many people think it's just an alternative phone line
- rather than having them think about the fact that it's actually
VoIP. Now, they're going one step further. They've
teamed up
with TI to build a single chip that will basically include
Vonage's software features - making it much easier for companies to
build hardware that will act as a Vonage phone. While, on the face of
it, this may seem like a boring technology partnership, Om Malik
points out that
this
is another step in the "Vonage Everywhere strategy, where they
expand the possibilities of where and how you use the Vonage system.
This is, indeed, big news. In fact, one of my issues with Vonage was
that, in making it seem exactly like a standard phone system, they
were actually losing some of the advantages that VoIP provided them.
This partnership suggests that the "looks like a phone, acts like a
phone" strategy got them out into the market, but they know they now
need to take that and expand it beyond what traditional phones can do.

Vonage is dropping some killer gear on us today,
with product announcements that include this new Wi-Fi Voice-Over-IP
handset from UTStarcom that will let Vonage subscribers make calls
anywhere they can log onto a Wi-Fi connection. With an 80-hour standby
time and three to four hour talk time, the F1000 looks practical
enough to use as your primary phone, not to mention extremely handy to
have around as a secondary communications sidearm. Plus, you're sort
of getting a Wi-Fi location device for free.
The UTStarcom F1000 is a standard SIP phone, as well, meaning it
can be used with other Voice-Over-IP platforms besides Vonage.

(public switched telephone network), but they don't play by the PSTN's
FCC-mandated rules. Those rules make regulated telcos validate that
caller ID and block it if requested. Which is why, if you get a call
from an IP phone network, you can't trust the caller ID; it may be
spoofed. Worse, you can't trust your own caller ID to be blocked if
you're calling an IP phone.

03/22/2005 03:34 PMWhen I started thinking about taking
kottke.org full-time, one of the things I wanted to do was not
work out of my apartment most of the time. But office/work space in
NYC is expensive and I figured I wouldn't have room in the budget for
it. There was also the matter of the proper environment. I just didn't
want to exchange working alone in my apartment for working alone in an
office. A smallish workplace with like-minded folks focused on similar
projects was my goal.
So, I'm pleased to report that starting sometime later this month,
I will be an Eyebeam
R&D Senior Fellow for the next year or so. Eyebeam aims to be a center for art and
technology and with recent projects like Fundrace, ForwardTrack, and
ReBlog, there's quite a
bit of overlap in what Eyebeam and I are interested in. They are not
supporting me financially and I won't be officially working on any
projects for them, but I will be working in their new R&D space in
Chelsea. The hope is I'll not only have a physical place to work but
that both parties will benefit from my presence in that space. That
is, if some of their chocolate gets into my peanut butter (and vice
versa), that would be a good thing.
So thanks to Eyebeam for their support of my personal digital
exploration and am looking forward to working with the other
researchers, artists, and fellows. Here's their post on the subject.
