Vonage enjoined from using certain VoIP technologies in Verizon lawsuit

By | March 23, 2007, 4:49pm PDT

Vonage has issued a press release announcing that it has been enjoined from using certain VoIP technologies in the Verizon patent dispute in a U.S. district court in Alexandria, VA. Vonage maintains that it is not infringing on any of Verizon's patents with the statement:

"We remain confident that Vonage has not infringed on any of Verizon's patents - a position we will continue vigorously contending in federal appeals court - and that Vonage will ultimately prevail in this case.  Despite this obvious attempt by Verizon to cripple Vonage, the litigation will not stop Vonage from continuing to provide quality VoIP service to our millions of customers." 

The order isn't immediately effective, and the court will hear stay arguments in two weeks. If Vonage doesn't get the stay, it will appeal to federal court. More details here.

My horrible Voicewing experience
gregtompkins11 17th Apr 2007
Voicewing sucks! It's a joke that they are suing Vonage! Vonage sucks because it stole Verizon's lousy service which. Voicewing really does give a bad name to all of Verizon. I had the service for approximately 6 weeks and had nothing but problems and incredibly rude customer service. When I cancelled they assesed me an early termination fee even after making it next to impossible to cancel with them when I *WAS* still within my 30 day window. All I can say to everyone out there who is considering Voicewing - STEER CLEAR! Their service is terrible and they give a really bad name to Verizon as a whole. In fact, due to my horrible service I am considering changing Verizon Wireless to another carrier.
