Is Vonage any good?

We have to start saving money on our cell phone service. Someone
suggested Vonage. I don't know anything about this company. Is it any
good? Is it a bad choice? Any information on this company would
greatly be appreciated. Are there any online cell phone service
reviews?
Thanks

Vonage is not a cellular provider.

You are correct, You DON'T know anything about Vonage!.

Vonage is a VoIP service. It's a local/long distance carrier for your home.
Yes..it's very good for that.
It is NOT a mobile/cellular phone service.

Here's the best way to cut phone cost to the bone. Get Vonage for
your "land line." That means canceling AT&T or whoever currently
sends you a bill. Then get a really good pay-as-you go cell. Use
the cell only when you need a cell... away from home. Vonage will
give you unlimited local/long distance for $30/mo. T-Mobil, Virgin
Mobil,
or Page Plus Cellular will cost you less than $10/mo if you use it
minimally.

One fact that Vonage conveniently fails to disclose is that a full 25% of
its customers leave the service in their first year. I have a similar
offering from Verizon ("VoiceWing") and there is a definite reduction in the
quality of the audio on VoIP. Some people can accept it, others cannot.
There is also a latency factor, where it takes a moment before one's voice
is heard on the other end of the conversation. This can vary from one call
to another.

Vonage has not turned a single cent in profit since it began. I see VoIP as
a solution for "cheap" phone service, but it is not of equal quality to
POTS.
