I have found quite a few providers seem to manage to block it. It worked brilliantly when I set it up in Egypt a few years ago. I have never got Vonage to work in Brazil.

We have not been able to get it to work in Belo Horizonte with the internet providers there. What cities in Brazil have you been able to get vonage to work in?

You might also find my more recent article on Google Voice to be interesting. A use for retired people would be to have no long distance plan whatsoever and use Google Voice to carry all their long distance calls. http://louisandlouisa.com/2010/07/google-voice/ I have no problem with your father putting this on his blog, please ask him to acknowledge the source and link back to my site.

I do have very good bandwidth and that helps. As far as your last question is concerned, the answer is yes. If fact, I did exactly that when I was doing some work in Egypt. I connected the Vonage box to the router and everybody was able to from Baltimore using a 410 area code. You might also want to consider getting a Brazilian virtual number. That would enable your Brazilian colleagues to call you using a local Brazilian number. Does that answer your question? Good luck.

I have to do some work in Brazil and I am from Calgary this is why I am asking. Also if i understand this corrrectly, my company could call my local number and it would ring in Brazil? Hi There,
