How Vonage uses the Internet to power your phone

Vonage routes your phone calls over the Internet, rather than telephone lines. But even though your phone uses the Internet, it has nothing to do with your computer. In fact, your computer doesn't have to be on to use Vonage. The people you call don't need to have Vonage or the Internet to get your call - just a phone. And when someone calls you, your phone rings as usual.

Setup is easy. Just connect the Vonage adapter to your high-speed Internet and connect your telephone to the adapter.
