There's a pretty big FW thread about this with a lot more information.

So how do you go about doing this? Go to CC and ask them about the Vonage thing? What if I dont have a lan line to switch from, can i just be a new phone person who wants to sign up for Vonage and get the $200, btw, is this $200 to use in the store or something?
Is there a link for this special?

Yes, it's different deal, but I'm more interested in this one. Is one of those "several countries" the US of A and who do you send the $13 to?

I completed this deal yesterday.
1. Went to Circuit City
2. Signed up for Vonage Service for $14.99 a month ($29.99 activation).
a. They allowed me to keep my existing phone number
b. You have to sign up with your real address for 911 service
c. You need a broadband service, preferably cable because DSL uses PPPoe and you need to jump
through hurdles sometimes to get it to work with DSL, but it's worth it.
3. Purchase this phone Phone
a. It comes with a rebate.
b. It's a 5.8 gigahertz, and you can add extra handsets
4. Received $200 Gift Card from Circuit City (no strings attached) instantly
5. Went home hooked it up, charged the phone, signed into email to confirm service, and bam -
phone is working next day.
6. It takes 20 days for your old phone number to be totally free of Verizon or SBC or whatever old company you're with.
So in the end it was...
$14.99 x 12 months = $180.00 - Free $200 Gift Card = 1 year of phone service for almost free
Also, you can get this USB thing that connects to your computer at work or at play to make free calls -
VONAGE USB 256mb Key.. It is free after rebate, so get it on the same receipt if you want. I heard good things and bad things about it, but it's free and a cool gadget to play with.
yes, the other forum has a boatload of info on this deal.
This is just so incredibly tempting but four things keep me from switching over.
1. I have two dish receivers who must be connected to a phone line 24/7. I'm not sure how vonage works with Dish........anyone have any info on forums I can hit?
2. I've been using a VoIP device since the last 5 yrs which has a modem and I use a dialup account to dial onto the net. once I'm connected, I just call the other device (my parents overseas, in asia do the same procedure) and bam.......free talking for hours....
with vonage, I don't know if I can use this device to dial out...
3. i very much need to use my existing phone lines in my townhouse, so I will need to disconnect the frontier phone line coming into the house........I don't know how much hassle this would be.....
4. last but not the least, thankfully, I don't use my home phone much but I do use bottorrent a lot and I don't know how this affects my BW.....
anyone wanna chime in?

doesnt need to be, but some do need to be connected to a to avoid a $4.99/month/receiver fee, if you have one of the dual tuners(522/622/625/whichever models they released since i left that horrible job january of last year).
but to answer the original question, as far as i know(again, this is info from january of this year, but knowing dish, it hasnt been fixed), the dish receiver likely wont communicate through voip

Your dish receiver do not need to be connected to phone line unless you want to order programs, watch pay per views through your dish remote
You can always pickup your phone and order them by calling dish

no, i'm talking about an additional charge. Like i said, its not all receivers.
Theres the $4.99 for the receiver rental/access fee, for each receiver beyond your first. Then for certain dual tuners, theres a $4.99 fee if its not connected to a phone line(since technically it operates as 2 receivers, so theres not a 3rd $4.99 fee). Dont want to turn this into a dish network fee discussion thread heh, check out their site..its buried somewhere in the fine print

Just got back from circuit city. I signed up for the $14.99 plan (actually $17.88 after tax and fees) and we made out!
I got the Linksys PAP2 and $137 ($200 - $67 for the PAP2) gift card and $110 in mail in rebates. So I walked outta there with $247 worth of gift card and rebates, plus $67 worth of hardware. Not too bad. I bought a wireless router and wireless gaming adapter for my 360 because the GF was tired of tripping over the ethernet cables running all over. What a deal. Plus Im saving $10/month over verizon and have more features.
