Vonage Complaint Cancellation problem - Internet phone

Vonage Complaint
Cancellation problem - Internet phone
Location: New York, ny
VONAGE Account Created: OCT. 25, 2007

I use the Vonage line as my primary to make international calls to Dominican Republic and Spain.

I got the $24.99/month plan.
Unlimited local and long distance calling anywhere in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. Now! FREE Calls to select European countries! ONE MONTH FREE!

On OCT. 25, 2007 I opened an account with Vonage. I had Vonage for over 22 days. On November 15, 2007 I wanted to cancel. SO I called Vonage and spoke to a foreign operator who appeared to be reading from some script.

I told her no for over 45 minutes, I even told her I was running late for work which she ignored and kept trying not to cancel my service with questions and other "offers". Cancel the account. I say cancel the account, I don't mean help me figure out how to keep it, I mean cancel the account.

The phone went mysteriously disconnected. I called back and spoke to another foreigner who actually told me he was just tring to do his job if I would just be quiet and listen he would cancel. So I listend to him for over 20 min. and still told him NO. He placed me on hold so long I hung up and called back and got another rep and this rep refused to cancel also. He was so belligerent and demanding.

But I finally got Vonage to cancel, I HOPE... To my amazement and utter shock VONAGE said that there will be a 39.99 early termination fee for each phone number, and guess what; I had two. Which I only open one account. I had already been charged $89.91 early cancellation fee and today I found a new invoice for $55.10. Let me remind you that I signed up for a 30 day free trial.

I am still fighting for my refund...
Please help me if you can.

People should be aware of the illegal, inefficient and hostile business practices of Vonage.

Vonage is the worst service I have purchased in years. The technical service and customer service is poor. They will not cancel your account. They keep charging your credit card months after your service has been disconnected. It is criminal and these people belong in jail...

I understand your situation all too well! Only they refused to cancel my account (after 6 days of service...) Yeah, so much for that 30 day trial! Know what I did? Cancelled the card I signed up with and switched service. Luckily I cancelled before they charged my card (after the initial fee) and haven't received any bills. I check my credit report fairly regularly and no mention of Vonage, even though my 'balance' is almost $200. In fact, they still send me mail trying to win me back as a customer... HA! Cancel your card. Worked for me, that was 5 months ago and no issues since.

Just like I replied to LittleMissyMe, had the same problem. I have disputed the charges with the credit card company and it is still under investigation. Hopefully I will get the money back.
