How to Increase Call Quality in Vonage

October 16, 2009 · Filed Under News Bits 

We were talking to our family and friends  to pass our Diwali greetings. It’s such a wonderful feeling to talk to friends and family members for the first time from US without the worry of  phone bill/balance/recharge/time remaining/… Thanks to Vonage World Calling Plan.

I noticed another something different while talking to India through Vonage.  We were using Reliance to call India before Vonage World Plan was introduced, always during festival time, new year,.. Reliance lines will  be busy, we have to try many times, before call will connect. That was not the case with Vonage (Maybe Reliance could be different if we tried today)

Increase Vonage Call Quality

Eventhough we didn’t experience connection issues during our calls to India, call quality was less. There were noise disturbances during the phone call. Many of you might not be aware of one of the features offered by Vonage, which will allow us to increase the call quality by changing the bandwidth used by vonage connection.

  • Go to Login to Vonage Account >  Features > Bandwidth Saver

3 Bandwidth options (30, 50 and 90 kbps) will be listed. Set the bandwidth to 90kbps and within few minutes, noise disturbances in the call was almost gone. If you have dial-up internet connection,  this might slow down your internet connection, but with High Speed Cable/DSL connections, you will not find any impact to your browsing speed.
