Yes, you can easily port (transfer) your phone number to Vonage.
Will this system work on multiple cordless phones?
There are several options for setting up more than one phone on a single phone line. When it comes to cordless phones, you can plug the base unit of a cordless telephone system into your Vonage adapter and install the additional cordless phones in other locations.
Interested in cost for residential phone & all info as to how much/cost to install & transfer current home phone No. to your system & time/how long/days? to do the transfer&install?
Hi Geraldine,
Thanks for taking the time out to contact us.
With Vonage, there are many residential plans available from $9.99 to $14.99 per month if you take the annual plans. The price goes up if you just take the monthly option. It includes free shipping and free activation. It’s simple to install yourself as it comes with an installation guide. You keep your existing phone number or you can get a new one. If you ordered online, the total equipment delivery time changes according to the shipping option you chose. Vonage adapters come plug-in ready, so you can begin using the services as soon as you complete the few installation steps necessary and can hear a dial tone.
If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact us,
Regards,
Jessica
