Digital camera reviews of Cisco PAP2 Phone Adapter for Vonage Internet Phone Service

Digital camera Review: Absolutely fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

If you have an existing broadband connection with a router and/or firewall, then this product may be the easiest way to go to use your phone over your broadband connection. It should take you less than 10 minutes to get this all hooked up and working. The PAP2 connect to your existing phone and your existing network. A few changes will have to be done on your router/firewall for this to work, but all the instructions for doing this are easily available at the Vonage.com homepage.

There is a degree of technical skills and understanding required to make this work. However, if you are looking for VoIP phones, you probably already know enough to set this up.

The bandwidth requirement for using this service is not bad at all. The default setting is 90Kbps, and that should not be an issue for most people with broadband connections. However, you can tune this down if it becomes an issue, but sound quality may degrade when doing this.

The most basic service with Vonage is now $14.99/month with 500 free minutes (including Canada, but excludes international calls), which is a great deal unless you are constantly on the phone. All the services comes with Voicemail, Caller ID and something called "Network Availability Number". The later allows you to set a phone number (i.e. for your cell phone) that calls will be forwarded to in the event that your broadband connection goes down.

Summary of Cisco PAP2 Phone Adapter for Vonage Internet Phone Service

The Linksys Phone Adapter enables high-quality feature-rich telephone service through your cable or DSL Internet connection. Just plug it into your home Router or Gateway and use the two standard telephone jacks to connect your existing phones or fax machines. Each phone jack operates independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers -- like having two phone lines. With an appropriate Internet telephone service provider, youll get clear telephone reception and reliable fax connections, even while using the Internet at the same time for normal data operations.
With Vonage, you can make calls through the Internet, potentially save on long-distance charges, and access a rich assortment of call features. Plans start as low as $14.99 per month, and the Premium Unlimited plan offers unlimited calling to the U.S. and Canada for only $24.99 per month. And it's easy to use: For making and receiving calls, Vonage works just like a traditional phone service; no special access codes or account numbers are required.

Easy Hardware Setup

All Vonage plans let you enjoy the call features you've become accustomed to?call waiting, caller ID, voicemail, call forwarding, three-way calling, call return, repeat dialing, and reliable long distance?plus other features that may be new to you. For example, you can receive your voicemail as an email attachment, and you'll have a phone number that travels with you. Visit http://www.vonage.com/amazon to see which plan is best suited to your lifestyle and budget. The low monthly rates are quite reasonably priced, in our opinion, and with them you may save considerably compared to traditional phone service. International calls are available for additional low fees, with one economical exception: calls from the U.S. to Canada are treated like domestic long distance calls, rather than international. Vonage also supports short-form emergency 911 services, where available. (Dialing 911 requires activation and operates differently than traditional 911. See Vonage's website for details.)

This Vonage Internet Phone Service Starter Kit is quick and easy to install in your home or business. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection (cable or DSL modem) and a touchtone phone. Setup is simple: Just connect one end of the included Vonage-certified Linksys PAP2 phone adapter to your Ethernet router or gateway and the other end to your telephone. Then sign up for Vonage phone service. An extra port on the adapter allows you to attach an additional phone or fax machine. You'll have instant access to both phone lines, each with a separate number, and you can even assign them different area codes (subject to availability). You can still surf the web while talking on the phone or receiving faxes. The phone adapter includes a generous three-year warranty from the manufacturer.
