I have an Asterisk 1.6 PBX running at my home. I had been using a Vonage soft-phone account for over three years, but wanted to switch to a provider that supports BYOD on my primary number.
I tried these four providers: AxVoice, CallCentric, Future-Nine, and Voip.ms.
I thought that all four had similar call quality.
The VoIP.ms website is laid out well and it is very easy to use. When ordering a DID number, I was able to see a list of actual numbers to choose from before placing the order. When you log on to the website, the first screen is a list of news items and an issue tracker. I think it would be better if information about my account or recent calls were on the first screen. CallCentric has a fantastic dashboard that provides a lot of useful information.
A phone number in my city was in stock, so it only took a few minutes between when I signed up and when my number was active.
VoIP.ms does support E911 in my area. They also provide an 811 number to test the 911 configuration. They support CNAM inbound and outbound. I can set the outbound CNAM from my Asterisk system. VoIP.ms was the only provider that I tested that provides this feature.
DID numbers are billed in advance on the anniversary of when the number was established, instead of on the first of the month.
At the end of my evaluation, I was deciding between CallCentric and VoIP.ms. CallCentric has a better website and fax support, but requires Asterisk settings that I didn’t like. VoIP.ms supports outbound CNAM. I decided to choose VoIP.ms primarily because I wanted outbound CNAM support.
Update: I ported two numbers from Vonage to VoIP.ms. The website says it should take between 2 and 4 weeks. The first port took 15 days and the second took 22 days. Not bad!
