That's what Vonage means to 25-year-old sales rep Lee Wiltshire. With an American girlfriend to stay in touch with and many online friends around the world, he reckons he saves £75-£100 a month. "I don't worry about my phone bill. I can relax and give my undivided attention to the call."
Lee lives at home with his parents. When he started playing online games, his social circle quickly stretched way beyond his home in Dagenham, in Essex. He met his girlfriend online (his broadband connection is from Bulldog), as well as many other good friends around the world. Staying in touch using his parents' landline was too expensive. So Lee signed up with the Vonage V-Plan 2. He's never looked back.
But Lee also wanted his girlfriend and friends to be able to call him just as easily as he could call them. So he went online, clicked a few buttons and bought a Virtual Phone Number with a Connecticut code. When his American friends dial this, it rings straight through to Lee's Vonage line in the UK. For them, it's free.

It's not just the savings that Lee loves. "Vonage is reliable, easy to set up, and cheap," he says. "The technical staff are always easy to get hold of. The customer service side is fantastic. I had one problem, and my call was answered straight away, and it was sorted out immediately."
Thanks to Vonage, Lee now has the freedom to call his friends when he wants, for as long as he wants. So Vonage saves Lee more than money. It lets him enjoy a whole new global social life. As well as his love life.
