I am sad to report that I had to cancel my service as tech support was not able to help me with my issues. I was looking forward to have inexpensive, unlimited calling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

I just subscribed to Voipo approximately 34 days ago. My service was working beautifully until about a couple of weeks ago. I am now experiencing dropped calls, busy signals, loud noise on line which then I have to hang up and redial, calls going straight to voicemail.

Too much work. I've always been against these Indy VoIP companies; however, Voipo seemed promising, great calling features, great reviews, and was very cheap. I asked them 1,000+ questions before I ordered.

I subscribed to their 24 month special for $149.00 with a vague explanation of a $36.00 taxes and fees charge which you must pay in advance. The ATA is an adapter called Grandstream which Voipo provides which I use with my Linksys 4200 wireless router.

I am quite disappointed that this is not working out for me. I was with Optimum Voice prior to this for $19.99 per month as a triple play deal with Cablevision which gave me no issues whatsoever. Oh well, I guess you get what you pay for. If it seems too good to be true then maybe it is.

VOIPo

I'm the owner of VOIPo and would be happy to have a Tier II agent contact you to try to resolve your issues.

Based on the issues you're describing, it sounds like you are likely using VOIPo behind a router that is causing issues and you may need to setup port forwarding on that router. All the issues you describe are typically caused by routers and can be resolved by reconfiguring the router or placing our device in front of it to get the router out of the picture.

If your issues can't be resolved and it turns out to be an underlying compatibility issue between your setup and VOIPo or if you decide that VOIPo is not for you, we do offer a full 30 Day money back guarantee and then a prorated refund based on the monthly price after 30 days.

Just e-mail tim @ voipo.com with your info and I can have a Tier II agent call you to try to work with you to troubleshoot your home network and help resolve your issues.

Sorry, Tim, I had to cancel service as your Tier II wanted me to call a bunch of business contacts as part of the troubleshooting process. I managed to call one without any issues; however, I cannot prank call my business contacts to duplicate all of the issues. He didn't even mention resetting my router. I then said I would cancel and he gcancelled my accounfor me.

Perhaps more training for your tech staff? I must say I am disappointed that this didn't work out for me; however, I need to have a working phone in my home without using all of my cell phone minutes.

Sorry to hear that.

The reason they wanted thou to call the destinations you were having issues with was so they could watch the calls coming through live and track down your problem. Without replicating the issue or seeing the calls you had issues with, it's not really possible for them to find the problem or fix it.

I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you and wish you the best of luck with your new provider.

The issues weren't that consistent to even track. Sometimes it would happen and sometimes not. And I dial so many different numbers how do we keep track. Should have just made adjustments to the router right from the start.

Anyway, went back to my old provider optimum online. It just works and I get it for 19.99 per month.

Thanks for all your help.
