I love the "People do stupid things"
commercials, but it may turn out that vonage itself may be one of the stupid things people do. Just ask
Sosamma John:John and his wife, Sosamma, were attacked by two men at their southwest Houston home earlier this month. As they struggled with the intruders, John was shot in the right thigh and torso. His wife was wounded in the left thigh.
But when their 17-year-old daughter Joyce, who was in the house at the time, tried 911, the call would not go through.
The attackers fled, leaving a shaken John wondering whether to reconsider his money-saving phone plan.
Looks like VoIP is soon going to include a 911 emergency charge.
