Q: Vonage digital phone service that will go when the power goes or is it a true land line
A: Vonage is a digital phone service and depends on your broadband Internet connection. This does not mean that in the case of a power failure, you will lose your broadband connection and therefore your Vonage service as well. Some people choose to maintain a landlane in addition to their VoIP service for that reason. However, many people with phones rely on wireless phones, which are also dependent on electricity and fail in a power outage. In both cases, a cell phone is a good backup in case of power failure.
