    After SunRocket burned out I needed to find another phone provider. I didn't want to go with either of the SunRocket "approved" phone suppliers. Instead I turned to BBR and looked at the rankings. At the time VoicePulse was #1 and so I went with them.

    Ordering was pretty easy, just sign up on their website. Initial charge was $54.97 for activation fees and first month phone service. It took a while for the VoIP adapter to be shipped, but once received all I had to do was connect everything and it just worked and has been working since then.

    Their website feels little "old", but it works and gets the job done.

    Unlimited filters, Many ways to block calls or send them to voicemail. Voicemail notification. 99 speed dials. Custom Caller ID. Local calling includes all adjacent area codes. Do Not Disturb. Scheduled do not disturb. Call Forwarding. Automatic call forwarding if power goes out. Multi-ring. Distinctive ring. Anonymous call block. Telemarketer block.

    Re: Features?????

    I'll rephrase then. There are some features that are included on other providers that have fees at VoicePulse. For example absolute forwarding has this disclaimer on the my account section "Forwarded minutes on local calling plans will be 3.9¢ per minute."

    This statement contradicts the "Call Forward is Free with VoicePulse" that their pre-sales literature states at »www.voicepulse.com/features/adva···ard.aspx

    This feature was included with the SunRocket plan with no per minute charges. Another option that I had with SunRocket was the ability to record a custom voicemail greeting. That was a really nice feature VoicePulse gives a rather generic greeting that goes something like "Extension is unavailable. Please leave a message." Maybe there is a way to do this with VoicePulse, but I haven't found it (and yes, I have looked through their website.)

    Don't get me wrong though, I'm happy with my price and would rather pay for call forwarding on the off chance that I actually need to use it than have a higher priced service. The call quality and reliability of VoicePulse are what make them top notch.

    yes, Virginia, you can record out going voicemail

    I read somewhere that forwarding is free with "Unlimited US" plan ($20/mo); but it costs with "Unlimited local" that you (and I) have.

    However, on the occasions that I actually used this feature - there was no charge. Don't know, if it's a glitch in a billing system, or "underpromise - overdeliver" but who am I to argue

    There is a way to set a personalized announcement on the voicemail - I know, because I have it But it was awhile since I set it up; so don't remember exactly.

    I've been with them for a year and a half, and very happy. However, $10 more for open access seems excessive; and the web site is quite clumsy. Also, it would be nice if they allowed peering - they block both incoming and outgoing VoIP calls.

    Do I read you right - they really block incoming and outgoing calls from other VoIP providers? Hm, I was just about to sigh up with them.

    Re: yes, Virginia, you can record out going voicemail

    Just to be clear - they block IP (URI) calls. You can, of course call by the phone number... the old-fashioned way. But you can't, for example, call through SIPBroker or from FWD unless you have $10/mo extra "open access" plan. See »www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/acti···itePages for example.
