Was anyone able to get in on this deal?

I'm thinking of switching to Vonage, I picked up an adapter at Wally world last night on clearance for $15. However, I'm thinking if I should wait for BF, perhaps there will be promotions to switch. Would love a giftcard.

Vonage has charged me about $9 for changing plans in the past.
grrr

I had problems with the quality of my Vonage calls until I switched from a junky cordless phone to a good one (Panasonic). Now the quality is great. So check all your equipment before blaming Vonage. I'm using their standard PAP adapter with cable internet, without any special QoS routing.

Well, I transferred my service to SunRocket from Vonage one and a half years ago because I hate those fees. But look at what happened there Now I am back to Vonage and learned not to complain those fees any more.

For question about total cost of the $14.99 plan, it's $18.43 for me (because I made international phone calls):

Residential Basic 500 Minutes Plan for 1-(603)-xxx-xxxx (19/Sep-18/Oct) $14.99
International Calls for 1-(603)-xxx-xxxx (19/Aug-18/Sep) $0.33
Regulatory Recovery Fee $0.99
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $0.99
Federal Universal Service Fee $1.13
Total Amount $18.43

Honestly, only the Federal Universal Service Fee is a tax, about 6.5%. Without international calls, the final price would be about $18.08 (there's a tax on international calls as well).

On a $14.99 plan, how much should I expect the total (including al fees) will be?...

Thanks OP

Ok, just got off the phone with another Vonage CSR and here's the latest....

You need to speak with the account management department when you call in, you can wait for the voice prompts, but she told me that the extension is 553. Once you have them on the line, and I swear to you she actually told me to say this, tell them that you are calling to cancel your service. She says that they should offer it to you at this point, but if not, go ahead and mention that part of the reason you want to cancel is that you know of people that are getting the unlimited plan for $14.99. She also mentioned that this is a "test" of a planned rollout on a larger scale in a few months, so it appears that they are thinking about changing the unlimited plan to this price down the road anyway.

Green for the op. Just got converted to unlimited for 14.99 permanent rate. Followed the directions in the previous posts and worked like a champ.

Thanks OP. Worked for me too. They initially offered me a $19.99 and then I asked for a 14.99. It is unlimited with 2 free months.

Okay it worked for me but no 2 months free were offered and the gal said its good for a year and not forever. Hopefully she just didn't see the other details.

I just upgraded my 500 minutes for $14.99 to the Premium unlimited plan for $14.99. They also gave the two months free as well. The CSR only offered me this plan for 12 months and insisted that they could not give me the unlimited plan for $14.99 for the life of my service. I will try to call them later and try to get it for the life of my service. Thanks OP!
