VoIP is finally here..

Well truth is its been here for a while..but only intul recently have the big boys( a la sprint, primus, verizon, other baby bells and newcomers like Vonage) began the marketing gold rush and service offerings.

Adoption is a tough thing to do, even when the service is cheaper. Its a lot about the hassle of keeping your number, compromising on sound quality and getting into a headlock of a contract for something your not sure about..(atleast those are my reasons...). After significant reading and quering, such voices have won me over.

I, Denis Gikunda, for once am going to be an early adopter. Shoving aside my conservative approach to new technology, I a, ready to make the leap. Those bastards at Bell Canada have taken enuff of my chums anyway.

Vonage seems to appeal to me somewhat becasue of their aparent emphasis on software. some of the features like voicemail-> email(via attachment of a .wav file) are nothing short of COOL.

Making a big mistake? too late..minds made up!
I will give u the real lowdown on how good it is after 2 weeks of service.

NB Kui u better act FAST.
