    My Other Reviews·Bell Sympatico
    I was a Vonage customer and had a lot of issues with call quality and fast busy signals when people tried to call me so gave up on the whole VOIP for a while.

    Decided to try voip.ms a month ago as I liked their prices for a Toronto DID and the unlimited incoming feature. The call quality has been as clear as my Bell line was. There is No echo, no dropped calls, no one has said they could not get through to me, the features on their website make it so I didn't even need to build an Asterisk box.

    I have used their "Live Support" twice, and both times the support person knew how to solve my problem (And even had settings for an old Grandstream VOIP phone I have that is not listed as a supported device). The BYOD aspect of the company is also great as I can make sure I'm using the device I want to, and when I travel the softphone works just great on my laptop!

    I now have 5 DID's from voip.ms for various areas I do business in, and use their IVR to answer all lines and foward to either my bell line, cell phone, or normal phone.

    Porting:

    This was the fastest I have ever seen. I requested the port on their website, that day I recieved an email that everything looked good and the request had been sent off. Within 1 week (6 days to be exact) my bell canada number was activated at voip.ms.

    The bad:

    I don't really consider it a bad thing that there is no "Package Deals" but I figure I shoudl list it here, voip.ms is a pay as you go provider and for me that works out better then the flat rate companies as I use the service for when I work from home. Much of the year I work from outside the house, so I don't get my money's worth from a flat fee provider.

    Lack of "local" calling could also be a down fall for some, I have a vbuzzer.com account I use for Toronto calling if my wife or kids are on the Bell line.

    All in all I highly recomend voip.ms.

    I agree with this review.

    I just joined up with voip.ms last month.

    I read a lot on these forums and found the information I needed.
    I purchased a LINSYS2102 and followed the instructions.

    So far everything is really good. I ditched my Bell phone at $25 per month and will probably use $6.00 all in with voip.ms

    The one thing for our use is the Queing feature, which means the caller will hear music on the line while waiting. Cool feature.

    They have a steady stream of numbers but sometimes if the inventory is low you have to wait for better DID numbers.

    I can tell you I was a newbie to this but so far my experience is positive.

    I looked hard a Vonage over and over, and was even reluctant to go with their 500 minute plan which in Canada costs $19.99+. Very expensive considering if you want to do a bit of DIY you can get the cost to be much lower.

    The other thing is they have online tech support which I used a few times - mostly for questions. Setting up the unit you are pretty much on your own.

    So far the quality has been great - and I use the premium package - still at only $..0149. Best part is billing is in 6 second increments so you really do pay for what you use.

    The only complaint is the online instructions are lacking - but mucking around you'll find your way.
    I did as follows:
    purchased unit
    setup with CISCO (instructions provided with unit)
    set up account with voip.ms
    used the 'Configurations Samples' link and found LINYSYS/SIPURA Adapters and followed the instructions.
    Added money to my account and viola.

    Note: be sure to select the right type of connect when visiting the CISCO site. If you select the wrong one (i.e. cable vs. DSL) you will have to re-set your ATA and start again.
