  I opened a business account with **********************. It was flagged by their fraud department and additional information was requested. I provided all requested information. A few days later, my account was cancelled with no warning. Calls to their customer support were met with the response that I could only reach the fraud department via email or voicemail. **************** would not tell customer service why account was cancelled and fraud department doesnt return voicemail or email communication to tell me why account was cancelled. Horrible way to do business. All charges should be refunded.

  I am writing in response to the complaint received on behalf of Ms. ***** ********** Anos . The complaint, logged on 07/014/2025, relates to Ms. ******************* into a billing matter.
  
  Vonage has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding Ms. ***** account. It appears Ms. Anos account was cancelled by our fraud team as they were unable to verify the account information.  The account was billed for the 1st month and a refund has subsequently been issued.  Ms. Anos will see the refund posted back to the method of payment within the next 3-5 business days.  Vonage considers this matter resolved.

  I am confident that this information will be helpful in resolving this matter.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ******** and they did indeed provide a refund to make my company whole. However, the fact that the company does not provide a way for the consumer to speak to the fraud department directly is ridiculous. They only made a voicemail and email available and did not return communication to either. Each email to me requesting verification documentation was answered with whatever documentation that they requested, so it is rich that they claim the account was cancelled because they couldn't verify the account information. I even reached out on ******** to ****** *******, their Global Director, Collections Policy & Operations, Fraud & ***************** She responded and asked what was the name on the business account. I answered and then she responded that the account was found, but then she ghosted me as well. With customer service like this, it is a mystery to me how they stay in business at all. To truly be a satisfactory response, I would want to know why my emails, voicemails, and ******** messages got ignored when I tried to find out what happened.
  
  Sincerely,

  We used Vonage business phone service. When we decided to switch to another phone service for our business, Vonage made it impossible for us to cancel our subscription. They did not respond to any emails, they kept us on hold for hours trying to cancel the subscription, and they kept charging our debit card until we had to change it. They are the scummiest of scummy services. All nice and happy when you are signing up but when you try to close your account, its impossible. We lost $380 because they kept charging our account even after we canceled and ported our phones out.

  To Whom It May Concern:
  
  I am writing in response to the complaint received on behalf of Mr. ***** ********. The complaint, logged on 07/03/2025, relates to Mr. ******** inquiring into a billing matter.
  
  Vonage has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding Mr. ********** account. The account was cancelled due to non-payment while still under contract.  The contract end date was scheduled for 12/17/2025.  Based upon the document submitted by Mr. ********, it states that "PLEASE NOTE: The transfer of a number(s) to another carrier does not automatically cancel your Vonage account. In addition, any services and features associated with these numbers are still active on your account and billing may continue".  We do not cancel accounts based upon porting of number(s) as accounts may have 1 or hundreds of numbers associated with it.

  We looked into any request to cancel the account and none were found.  We were not able to locate any contacts to Vonage since 01/2024.  Per our Terms of Services (************************************************************************) regarding Termination of Services: Either Party may terminate the Agreement for cause: (i) if the other Party is in material breach of the Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within thirty days after written notice thereof, or (ii) upon the other Partys liquidation, commencement of dissolution proceedings, disposal of substantially all assets, failure to continue its business in the ordinary course, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becoming the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

  Currently, Mr. ******** has an open dispute for the $380.81 with his credit card institution.  We are awaiting the final judgement of their review.  Any possible refund cannot be concluded until the credit card institution has made a final judgement.

  I am confident that this information will be helpful in resolving this matter.

  ******* **** we have texting, we do not actually have the ability to send multi-media messages. Again, this was promised to us as part of what we were paying for and it does not exist. Vonage only offers MMS to people inside of your business, not to clients, but we were told the opposite.Vonage makes it so difficult to set up individual business hours for employees who are part time, despite the promise that it was so simple. It took them months to set this up for us because we could not figure it out from their admin platform, which they promised was so easy to use.They told us we would be able to share business contacts across the company, that is false, they have never offered this feature. When we complained they said we just don't offer that sorry.When we tried to cancel service we were told we would owe them thousands of dollars, despite the fact that the service is not actually what we signed up for. We mentioned it was a breach of contract on their part and they did not care.

  ********************** has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding Ms. ****** account. Currently the account has a ****** contract that ends 02/25/2026.  A review of the account shows Ms. **** notified our support team regarding their 501c3 tax exempt status on 04/02/2025.  Our team opened a ticket with Finance and the issue was resolved by the following **** date.  A review of their billing shows they only pay the Federal USF fee (**************************************************************************************************************) which in not tax exempt.  We will issue a credit for the previous 2 months of State and locate taxes which totals $18.08.  

  W/r/t sending text messages, all customers using an A2P must register for *****.  This process may take from 30 to 60 days before their registration is approved by The Campaign Registry (*********************************).  ****************** is able to send/received SMS as their campaign has been approved.  Unfortunately were unable to locate any correspondence between sales and Ms. **** regarding MMS.  MMS is currently offered internally with their peers, but we will enable that feature in the coming months for external use also.  

  Due to Ms. ****** experience, we have also added a 50% credit to the account for the last 3 months.  Vonage considers this matter resolved.

  On January 20th, I tried to cancel my service with Vonage for our organization, Ballet Five Eight NFP. The only way to cancel provided is to contact customer service. I tried multiple time using their chat service (which only connects to an AI bot) and their phone service (which offers no way to cancel) and email service to cancel. They sent one email back, but did not cancel the account. I disputed the following month charge and repeatedly emailed back to ask to cancel. They finally cancelled my account on April 7th due to non-payment.On May 10th, they sent our account to collections. I'm requesting that they remove the charge of $144.17 and rescind the collections.

  Complaint: 23320337
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  All months affected by the *** issue were not credited.   *** was out for 11 months and therefore we should get credit for 11 months.  Discounts was started 2 months after the issue which means we should get another 2 months after the sms issue was fixed.  I have said this to various Vonage representatives numerous times.  i have even sent confirmation emails from Vonage to prove my stance. Total Credit should be around $1,750 when adjusted for taxes and discount on ALL ITEMS even equipment rentals.  Your credit of $900 is not enough.
  

  You owe us another month of discount and October invoice still needs adjustment. Make the adjustment please.  And reply to your emails.

  I am writing in response to the complaint received on behalf of Mr. ******* **** The complaint, logged on 05/15/2025, relates to Mr. *** inquiring into a billing matter.
  
  Vonage has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding Mr. ***** account. Our Executive Response Team ("ERT") contacted Mr. *** and to discuss the billing matter. Mr. *** was due a 25% credit for all services from July 2024 until their SMS issue was resolved. This arrangement was discussed with our ****************** team and Mr. **** From July 2024 through February 2025, Mr. *** received a 25% discount on MOST services. When we reviewed their invoices, it appeared to be a system error that applied the 25% to some products and not all. We went through each invoice and detailed the additional credits that Mr. *** was owed for that time span (July 2024 through February 2025). We also as a measure of good faith added an additional 25% credit for their June 2024 invoice. Mr. *** was originally issued a credit of $951.66.  After the reply from the Mr. **** he pointed out that there was 1 additional location that had not receieved a 25% discount.  We have subsequently added an additional $118.73 in credit to the account.  The total amount of credit issued is $1,070.39.  Vonage considers this matter resolved.

  I am filing this complaint against Vonage because they refused to issue a refund for a service we paid for but never received. We started using Vonages ************ in September 2024, but the *** feature did not work from the beginning. After two weeks, we contacted Vonage and they told us they were holding the registration of *** and reviewing all accounts. They told us they will send updates once everything was set up but they could not provide an estimate for how long this would take.On October 31, 2024, we reached out again for an update. They explained that as of September 23, 2024, Vonage had temporarily paused all US-based *** messaging for their Vonage Business Communications (VBC) solution due to security issues like phishing and smishing.After waiting several months without any resolution, we canceled our Vonage account in January 2025. In February 2025, we requested a refund for the full year of service we had paid for upfront as we had spent significant time trying to resolve the issue without success and despite reaching out multiple times in October and November, the *** feature was never restored and our issue was never resolved.Vonages responded and told us they began restoring *** traffic to all carriers on January 8, 2025. They said the pause was for security reasons and now that the service is being restored, they could not process a refund for the *** issue. They also mentioned that our monthly bill of $40.52 was separate from the $1.50 monthly *** charge which Vonage does not make any revenue from.We believe a refund or partial refund is fair as we paid for a service that was never functional and spent considerable time trying to get it fixed. We are requesting either a refund or a portion of what we paid for the service we did not receive.

  We cant accept this one-month refund offer.
  
  We paid for an entire year of service and werent able to use a majority of the features that were advertised. As for the "10DLC" you mentioned - this was never communicated to us before and only came up after we had already paid for and expected full functionality.
  
  Beyond the original cost, this has caused significant additional losses to our business:
  
  1. Countless hours wasted pleading with support for basic functionality
  2. We lost business money due to non-functional SMS features.
  3. It has done complete disruption to our operations.
  
  After everything we have dealt with, nothing short of a full refund is adequate.  The current offer demonstrates no understanding of the real impact this has had on our business.  I expect your team to reconsider and propose an equitable solution.

  ***** *******

  Vonage had stated that they would issue a credit back in august as they had not informed me that my text messages were not active under my number. I stated that I am an insurance broker and that it violated my business and communications as my clients did not get timely messages. Vonage stated that they would credit me from April-August of 2024. I discontinued service in September. I found out today that Vonage is still charging me for services and it is March of 2025. I am about to put a stop payment and request for refund as I have not been able to get in contact with Vonage. I no longer know my account number as I have no access to the service. I ported my number in august to ******* and have had no use for Vonage since. I want a refund as soon as possible as I have not used any Vonage services since and they owe a credit for a years worth of service @ $89.99 per month. Currently Vonage owes me a refund of $1079.88 for services not rendered. I can not get through to customer service and I would not recommend Vonage at all for anything anymore. please assist as soon as possible.

  I am rejecting this response because: Vonage had stated in September that they would be cancelling the account as this had led to hippa violations as I am a Health Broker whose notices did not reach the intended clientele forr months if at all.  they were to credit my account and sent invoices that reflected a credit however they were still taking payment that was not authorized. vonage owes me from the point of stopping text services as discussed when porting my main number away from vonage. See the invoice attached yet however they continued to bill my account and were supposed to pay not deduct.  at this point I will escalate and go public for the fraud committed.  I trusted vonage and was assured a credit.  your company was supposed to keep services active while you paid back money owed.  However you remained billing me while sending credit statements like the one attached.  Please provide my refund as I did not use your service and your service hurt my business, lest we should continue to escalate.

  I am rejecting this response because: On the call that I had with vonage business services I was to receive a refund and I was not supposed to pay for services.  I attached the fraudulent invoicing that I received month to month showing a credit yet I continued to be charged.  I explicitly told vonaage that i did not want service after the port.  they stated I would be refunded for the time where services were lost and they were to credit the account.  No refund was received and vonage continued to charge despite showing a credit.  you should pay what you owe by your word and invoice.  Check the attachment and then look at how you billed me.  This shows the explicit nature of the vonage fallacy.  I will take this to ******* instagram and all other forms of escalation if not resolved here.  your company caused violations to my business and this can be raised in court.  please advise.
  
  Sincerely,

  Our organization, Oquirrh Recreation and Parks District, when we created the account requested a tax exemption in July 2023. We noticed October of 2024 on our monthly billing that taxes were being charged to us. We called Vonage and requested a tax exemption and credit to make up for paid taxes. A credit was not issues but after months of back and for calls Vonage and received confirmation that the exemption was approved in December 2024. However, despite this approval, Vonage has continued to charge taxes on our monthly invoices for the past several months.We have contacted Vonage multiple times regarding this issue:On December 4, 2024, we were informed that the tax exemption was in progress and would be updated in the billing system within 24 hours.On January 24, 2025, after noticing continued tax charges, we contacted Vonage again and were told that the issue had been escalated and we should wait another 24 hours for an update.On February 22, 2025, our latest invoice still included $58.69 in taxes, showing that the issue remains unresolved. We made a call to Vonage and they never called back to confirm the taxes would be removed.I have made several calls this month of March to confirm if the taxes will finally be removed and if there is any credit and again they have failed to provide resolution or call back. This ongoing problem has caused frustration and unnecessary financial burden for our organization. We are a government entity and should not be subject to these charges. Additionally, Vonage has failed to issue any reimbursement for the wrongly charged taxes, despite multiple requests.We request that Vonage:Immediately stop charging taxes on our invoices.Issue a credit for all taxes charged since the approval of our exemption in December 2024.Provide written confirmation that our tax-exempt status is correctly applied to our account moving forward.

  Vonage has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding Ms. ********* account. An agent from our Executive Response Team ("ERT") contacted Ms. ******* and discussed the tax exemption inquiry.  Currently they are exempt from from all local and state taxes.  We explained to Ms. ******** that they unfortunately are not exempt from the Federal Program Fee/USF Fee.  The Federal Program Fee (**************************************************) is a fee levied against all telecommunication companies from phone to cable providers.  We have issued Ms. ******* a credit for the past few months of where they charged for state and local taxes. Vonage considers this matter resolved.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 03/07/2025

  The reason we ended I ended up canceling is because for over 3 months our phone system would not allow incoming calls.

  Me and my staff tried many times to get them to fix it but they refused to help. 

  We bought the business in October of 2024 and the previous owners had a regular employee as the "super user" 

  That employee left the company and vonage refused to recognize me as the new owner even though I was the one paying almost $500 a month with my credit card. 

   

  I even asked them to fix the issues and they refused. 

  I asked them to call the business and set if their call can go through and sure enough they faced the same problem. 

  Their call was not going though and they are vonage so obviously my customers can't get through to us. 

  Because of this phone issue done of our customers ended up canceling our service to them. 

  To not be able to get incoming calls to a business for over 3 months is absolutely insane and not reasonable. 

  They emailed the staff member listed as the an authorized user who informed them that I'm the owner and still they refused to fix the issue. 

  So as a business owner I had to cancel the service that had been with this business for many years. 

  I did everything in my power to get them to fix our service but I had no luck. The whole time they were still charging me for the full service on a phone system they would not allow incoming calls. 

  Very irresponsible of them and they should refund us for payment of service not rendered.

  ********************** has reviewed the details surrounding the complaint, and our records regarding this account.  We could not locate *** *** as an authorized user on the account is question. It appears that when the company was bought (10/24), Vonage was not notified of the changes.  We were contacted in 02/25 regarding the changes of the Superuser.  We sent the customer a "Change of Superuser" document to fill out and send back to us, but they were not able to supply the requested documents (Explanation of Change of Super on Company Letterhead) need to make the changes.

  We were notified of a call routing issue on 02/28/2025 that was resolved with our agent (transcript attached) and confirmed with the caller of the company.  Prior to 02/28/2025, we had not received any notification of a call routing problem.  As a measure of good faith, we have issued the customer a partial refund.  The account itself was closed on 03/05/2025 by the Superuser of the account.  ********************** considers this matter resolved.

  I am confident that this information will be helpful in resolving this matter.
