Just pick up a wireless phone that comes with a base station and as many satellite units as you need and you're good to go.

Something like this

Both of my phones are cordless but one has an answering machine also and you have to plug it into an electrical outlet Will they give me attachments for both or will this be extra per month?

shouldn't be any extra (I've been with them for a year now and had no issues!). Our cordless with answering m/c is plugged into the vonage adaptor, and our other handset talks directly to the answering m/c basestation.

Works a treat

IIRC the voangae adaptor has ports for 2 phones to be plugged in or is it for 2 lines (I need to go check, which means dusting the the poor wee box down and having a look)

The second port is for a second line on your account (should you want one).

You two are the best. Is there a charge for the second line? I did ask Vonage chappy that but he just said it may be possible I spoke to a woman too, she drove me to the point of madness. She called me back to see if she could sign me up (must work on commission!) but she had not been able to answer one question.

Time Warner has New Yorkers and they come out, lol
And you think Vonage sends them from Mumbai?

Bit late on in the discussion but thought I'd throw in the service I use:

Calling card called Mega Clean and Stable (odd name...) obtained from www.viapin.com - 1.7c (UK) and I also often call Germany (2c) and Italy (2.1c).

No connection charge or any bollocks like that. They round up to the next minute, but at these prices who cares?

I don't believe Vonage come out at all. I think you are on your own, that was my point.
