Customer Service

While Vonage do not appear to have a themed customer service program as such, the Help section of the website is a masterpiece of user-friendly guidance and information. It functions as a sub-site in itself, with a range of core navigation topics including Vonage Basics, Your Account, Features, Equipment, Installation, Troubleshooting and Glossary.

The home page of the Help site also features a ‘Top 10 Most Helpful Articles’ and access to its number one feature – a 24/7, real time interactive chat agent for general assistance and advice. The site also offers the standard email support and toll free telephone number. To review the Vonage Help site, please visit their website.
