And away we linGO...

In a previous post, Bon Voy-Vonnage, I wrote about my quick introduction and research into Vonnage - a big player in VOIP - broadband based phone service.

After Matt Blumberg ethused over it, I was ready to go. Unfortunately a few key things fell through for me with Vonnage - most specifically not being able to transfer my number (not necessarily Vonnage problem - probably Qwest) but having to change area codes from 303 to 720.

But, over the past several weeks, I've slowly picked around at alternatives. There are many - including the traditional telcos themselves - with hats in the broadband phone service ring.

I decided to go with Lingo . They seem to have put together a solid service which matches feature for feature the Vonnage offering. But, with Lingo I was able to get a temporary 303 number, and am told this is temporary and my current 303 number should "transfer".

So, I'm signed up and awaiting my Lingo appliance to arrive via post. Once it is here and I get up and running, I'll report on our setup experience and initial service use and experiences.

So Bon Voy-Vonnage and Away we linGO!

By the way, I notice that there were many comments to Matt's post regarding poor service and/or quality with Vonnage. If anyone has any experience with Lingo, please comment or let me know, good or bad.
