Neither one is better than a landline, other than cost. It is completely dependent on your computer. If you get a virus or spyware, it can completely knock your phone service out. The sound quality can be horrendous, if you want an example go sit in a metal garbage can and talk to yourself--truly I've heard it sound like that. You don't have enhanced 911. You lose service in a power outage. They are not a regulated industry-they can change their prices/policies whenever they feel like it.

If you really don't want a land line, then get a cell phone. But don't rely on voip as your primary phone line.

I didn't like Vonage because if the internet goes out you have no phoneline. Also it is attached to your checking account and they take it out monthly and they charge you like 160 to cancel. and if you have a problem they still take out money from your checking account bad choice.
