No. All you need is a Vonage phone adapter, high-speed Internet connection and a touchtone phone.

Yes. There is no software to download and calls don't go through your computer, so Mac or PC will not impact your Vonage service.

No, your computer doesn't have to be on to use Vonage. Only your high-speed Internet and electricity need to be up and running for your phone to work.

The Vonage Phone Adapter is the small, portable box that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet.

VoIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol, is the technology that turns your analog voice into digital data and sends it over the Internet instead of over traditional phone lines. Vonage utilizes VoIP technology differently from its competition, in that it doesn't compress your voice, so the sound quality is superb.

With a traditional landline phone, your number is tied to where you live. If you move or travel, you can't always take that number with you. Internet phone service is completely portable, so you can turn any phone into your home phone with just the Vonage adapter and a high-speed Internet connection.

Plus, Vonage phone service has many features you can't get with a landline, like SimulRing ®, which can forward your calls to any five numbers in the world, and Vonage Visual Voicemail ®^, which converts voicemails into emails or text messages.
