  Duration of ownership:1 Years

  Strengths: The service works well. When it works.

  Weaknesses: Suppport, customer service, and reliebility.

  Overall Evaluation: I was a Vonage customer for over a year when my phone started ringing off the hook. I called Vonage to ask what was going on and Vonage the company that sold me the phone number told me to call another phone service and talk to them about it. I should also mention to get told to call someone else I spent 40 minutes on hold. Then I called sales and billing support and was on hold for 20 minutes before they told me I could have a free month. I told them that a free month of a phone that does not work does not seem very positive. The number that Vonage sold me will not stop ringing and I had 50 messages on my phone from people who were mad at some telemarketing company. Vonage would do NOTHING about the situation. I would and will never use Vonage’s service ever again. The inconvenience of suddenly not having the number you have used for a year is a nightmare. The complete lack of concern at Vonage was very frustrating.

  Duration of ownership:2 Years

  Strengths: Great quality, easy to set up

  Weaknesses: Vonage only

  Overall Evaluation: The way this device is marketed here does not make it clear that this device locks you into using the Vonage VOIP service. While Vonage are good at marketing, they are priced WAY ABOVE other Voice Over IP services, most of whom don't have any monthly fee just a per-minute fee as low as $0.01/min (some are even free).WARNING - this device is LOCKED to VonageIf you want to use those other cheaper (and just as reliable) VOIP services, you must buy a PAP-2 that is not locked to any single service provider. Those unlocked devices don't cost any more than this one, and you get a lot more flexibility. You can even use Vonage on them, but you're not limited to that one service provider.

  Strengths: SIze, easy to use

  Weaknesses: Designed for Vonage only

  Overall Evaluation: This is my second phone adapter. I use it as a portable phone. It is simply a wonderful device. I have used it overseas without difficulty. Also works fine when attached to a fax machine. Unfortunately if you are not using this with Vonage, it may be a hassle.

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: Small, price is good after rebate

  Weaknesses: Only designed for Vonage service.

  Overall Evaluation: First of all, if you are not (or do not intend to be) a Vonage service customer, don't go for it since it is only useful for this service. But it does good job, and the net price for it is cheap, of course you need to pay Vonage service fee.

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: Nice shape and functions

  Weaknesses: Only works for Vonage.

  Overall Evaluation: This device is smaller than I expected and I like the design and shape. It functions are unique and limited to Vonage service. I heard someone can kind of "unlock" it, but I don't know how to handle it.

  Duration of ownership:8 Days

  Strengths: Could be unlocked to use with any VOIP service providers

  Weaknesses: Cannot send or receive fax from the phone ports of PAP2

  Overall Evaluation: The Linksys PAP2 could be unlocked and set for use with different VOIP service providers. Setting the PAP2 the first time is challenging but once you understand the the internal commands and setups of PAP2, it is very simple since you don't have to change them a whole lot. When PAP2 is up running you will not have to change it again unless you change VOIP service providers. Sending and receiving fax from the phone ports of PAP2 are still a problem for most users since the fax services via packets are inherently not reliable without the T.38 protocol support. The option of being able to take the PAP2 with you anywhere in the world with broadband connection and use it as if you are right at home is an excellent feature to have since the computer network recognize your PAP2 by its IP instead of the the telephone numbers. The Linksys PAP2 is must have for VOIP if you have broadband connection, particularly when you make a lot of long distance and overseas calls.
