Like any other provider, look at Vonage's tos agreement. If you go over I 
believe 100 hours they slap you with a $50.00 fee. I have a provider that I 
pay $5.00 a month to for my did and they asked me to use up to 2-3 channels 
for incoming, however they never capped me. Once in a while I use up to 7-8 
channels with no problem. ( I tested once with all the cell phones that I 
had and I got 10 channels at once !!). As for outbound I use voipjet which 
is 1.3 cents. Like it was said above if you do the math it may be worth it 
for you to drop vonage all together.
