Vonage through wi-fi? - GoFuckYourself.com

I just got a vonage and it works fine... but can you take it with you to a wi-fi spot with your laptop and use it? If so, how? I can't get that to work.

Thanks!

you can get one of there soft phones that is software based so you use mic headphones. In my city there are many hotspots and i use laptop sometimes to make longdistance calls when im not at home.

Vonage makes this? And then you plug your mic / headphones into the computer, as if you were using Skype or another voip service?

you could always go the cheap route of sharing an internet connection to a hub thats pluged into your cars cig lighter and plug in your modem to the hub and power that also from cig lighter. Now thats just ghetto though but should work.

So I dont even need my vonage connection box with that. So I understand this right, al I need (since I have the service) is just the softphone and I can travel with it?
