At least when I signed up with Vonage they were the only VoIP provider 
that had numbers in my old rate center and could transfer the number 
from SBC.   It does, of course, suck not to be able to use it with 
Asterisk.  (I could sign up for a soft-phone, but I don't think it'd be 
with my old number defeating the purpose...)
