Do you have two Vonage accounts because you sell in two states?

I have 4 phone numbers and one toll free number for my clients. I started with Skype with 4 phone numbers and I got out smarted by their fees in making as many calls as I do that it started costing my more money than having a two Vonage accounts.

My accounts through Vonage have one "real" phone line and one "virtual" number. The reason that I have had so many phone numbers is because if I was trying to get in touch with clients that I felt were avoiding me I would call from different area codes. It has always been worth paying a little bit more in a phone bill because of the people I am finally able to talk with.

I started my phone lines with Skype but I have been much more happy with Vonage with the call quality. I was able to bring down my internet speed from a 10 Megabyte high speed fiber optic line to regular DSL from Qwest when I switched from Skype to Vonage. I think I am saving about $60 a month because of that.
