Also been with Vonage for quite sometime and, until today, never a problem. Today's issue (a sucky one): I'm in Europe and the router basically locked up during firmware upgrade, so no service now and no reset possible. Solution: Sending out a new one. No charge for shipping or for the replacement, as long as I return the dead beast within two weeks. Said they'd refund my shipping, too. They're sending a replacement out tomorrow to arrive Tues a.m. at my stateside address. If I weren't sitting in Europe right now, I'd say they handled it well. I can at least still get voicemail via e-mail/web and will have to use SoftPhone for outgoing calls.

Stinks a bit that they can't handle shipping overseas, or at least U.S. military or embassy addresses. Also, they don't come with 220v-capable power supplies, but instead, Linksys sells them aftermarket at a nice markup. The replacement should be compatible with my Power over Ethernet - 12V.

I do think I'll pick up a spare router for situations like this--may never happen again, but if it does, I'll be ready.

My Vonage Motorola TA is 220v capable. I use it full time in Europe.

I recently signed up for Sunrocket based on their feature set, Annual Deal for $199 and no activation/cancellation fees. I didn't really look into Call Vantage but preferred it over Vonage because of the activation/cancellation and deal. I have not used it abroad yet but read some reviews that have said it worked well, the hardware is small enough to easily fit into a suitcase during travel and I look forward to trying it soon. Good luck! :)
