Voip.ms has great features, IVR, DISA, WAN failure backup, etc. It is easy to set up with lots of examples. Support is good, generally get useful response within 1 day, but depending on the person, some tech's treat customers like testers.

I've had no issues with DID termination, other than servers going down occasionally. Hopefully the recent upgrade on toronto2 helps.

I've had routing issues with numbers in China, HK, and USA (area code 860). Calls get routed to dead air or weird destinations. In most cases voip.ms said they made changes to routing, but still is not very reliable.

Call quality depends on time and day, and didn't see much difference between premium vs. value.

*** update Aug 2012 ***
I've had this service for over 3 years now. It's quite reliable but servers or DID termination can fail maybe once every couple of months. Overall, pretty good for the money you pay.

I wish they have better mobile phone support, e.g. SIP over TCP, better mobile browser/site support, etc.

Increased my rating as appropriate.

Been using for 2 years now with no complaints. Fraud detection scheme needs a little more tweaking ie. human followup to verify it's accuracy before locking a person's account to manual payments.
Overall awesome service, have recommended it to others.

This is a good service for those new to bring your own device and even seasoned veterans. You can start small until you get comfortable with it. I like the fact they have servers in the west coast, east coast and one in London, UK. Also you will appreciate 6 second billing to 99% of destinations.

One of first things you will notice is their extensive configurable options. I only know of one or two other providers that can rival this feature set at this price. I'm not using all of it at the moment but it is nice to have in case I do decide to use it.

Their DID are priced fairly and competitively, and is easy to configure. Web interface has been upgraded in speed in recent months which is nice. They are not the lowest priced in the world but I believe when you consider price, features and reliability together, it is still one of top choices. You wouldn't want your VOIP provider to go under while trying to do it at a rock bottom price.

I have not had issues such as one being reported on the forum regarding voice delay. Overall, any system issue have been manageable and have not made my phone completely useless. Tech support is sticking a bit more to scripts rather than real answers but again it's not horrible either.

One of the best service you can get.

I have been using their service for more than a year.

I am using the "value route" with G.711u. SPA2102 with "FXS Port Input Gain": -5 (to eliminate echo).

Those who complain have problem with their equipment, their configuration or their internet access. To get the best service, you need a low jitter to the server you choose then a low ping.

I use voip.ms for outgoing long distance calls exclusively, and reliability has been great. From May 1 to July 12 I've logged over 11.5 hours of calls at a total cost of $3.65.

I use their budget routing and call quality is just fine. Sometimes a small latency is audible, but never enough to cause problems.

My pbx is registered to voip.ms' Seattle and Toronto servers. Both are a compromise, Toronto because of high latency (my first hop is through Vancouver), and Seattle because of overzealous wiretapping in the states. In this one respect I really miss my old provider, whose servers were in Edmonton until the company went under.

Great feature flexibility
Endless technical issues and frequent outages
Looks like they are going through a bit of a bad period technically
Web-site:

Value for money:

I've been with VOIP.ms for several months now. We got off to a very rocky
start where we had so many dropped calls that I was about to cancel our
service when we had a bad storm one weekend, leaving us with cable tv
problems in our area. Rogers sent a team out and fixed a problem they
discovered that was affecting our Internet service. Suddenly things got
noticeably better.



My rocky start got me deep into VOIP ATA configuration and I consider myself
to be rather well versed in it now. I feel that I'm at a point where there's
nothing left to configure on my ATA that could improve my service.



SOOOO, why do I feel that I need to look elsewhere again? Well, as of about
10 days ago, with no configuration changes at all, following a few weeks of
reasonably good service, suddenly a huge percentage of my calls disconnect
as soon as I answer the phone. Normally this is a codec issue, where sender
and receiver aren't on the same page, but what has changed?



Reviewing forum responses from VOIP.ms techies, I set up my ATA and VOIP.ms
account to only use the g711u codec. That appeared to be the last piece of
the puzzle that gave me a few weeks of reasonably good service. I'm now
beginning to think that some incoming calls are somehow coming in on the
g729a codec so the call is terminated. Just a guess. I just reconfigured to
permit this codec once again, we'll just have to see how that goes.



Tech support is always responsive, but it's always the same suggestions,
regardless of my support ticket history. I play musical servers, try a
softphone, switch ports, etc.



Perhaps my ISP is acting up again, but we aren't getting dropped calls
anymore, just disconnects as soon as we answer. Outgoing calls are no
problem.



I'm hearing nothing but good things about FreePhoneLine service. Perhaps my
best diagnostic is to try them out. That may be the only way I can sort out
my STRONG suspicion that VOIP.ms has technical problems that they can't deal
with (likely too much traffic for their servers).



I can't recommend VOIP.ms right now as my experience has unfortunately been
abysmal, at first due to my ISP, but now I can't see any correlation with my
ISP. I've been using their Montreal2 server mostly (by far the best ping
results), but switching to 4 other servers hasn't helped. If I ever get to
the root cause of my issues, I'll edit this review with my findings.

Tell me about it!

Dropped calls have been an issue for me, as well. Sometimes they drop within a second of picking up the phone, and sometimes they drop randomly in the middle of a call. I also experience, though far less frequently, a fast busy tone when dialing one of my DIDs. I was ready to blame Fibernetics, the CLEC the DID was hosted with, but this week one of my ISP Telecom DIDs started exhibiting the same problem. The only common thread is: VoIP.ms.

I'm currently testing Anveo and will probably end up moving all my DIDs to them. I'll still use VoIP.ms for outbound calls, though, as Anveo doesn't do Canadian toll-free termination (as far as I know) or "in-band" outbound Canadian CNAM.

I have had the service for a month.. So far things have been not bad!

Incoming DID issues from the start:

I've ported my number over from Primus and from day one I've experienced issues where audio on incoming calls has had blips and drop outs on the far end of the call (what the caller hears) After almost 4 weeks, the problem seems to be with the Montreal and Toronto POP's. As a temp fix, I'm using Chicago's server, which has improved things greatly. I have tested Chicago and Seattle in the past, but they must have fixed something on those servers as well because it seems to be clearer than it was before on those servers. It seems there's a few customers with this issue, so hopefully it's fixed soon.

Outgoing calls have been flawless from day one on any server.. Very happy where. Very clear, very crisp. How it should be!

I run my own asterisk box,(PBX IN A FLASH) and it works perfectly! But can be setup very simply with a SIP phone or adaptor. I like the ability to control every aspect and assign everyone their own extension and vmail. (I know GEEKY)

I would not recommend this service for someone who does not have a geek in their life or is comfortable with setting stuff up themselves. It's really a DIY type service. But the cost savings are great. We only spent 10 dollars last month, and that included the 5 dollar unlimited DID FEE! We use the phone a lot too!

Update Aug 19 2010:

The DID issue still has not been corrected.. Support says they have to replace the Toronto server with a new one, in hopes to fix things for the few users who have came forward. Most users are likely unaware of the issue as it only effects audio on the callers end from outside the voip.ms network. This is likely why things are going so slow on the replacement.

Using Chicago's DID seems to for the most part correct the issue, but due to long distances and many hops between Toronto and Chicago, at times of the day, the line gets dicey on both directions on incoming calls.

Outgoing has never been an issue.

If this new server is installed, and the issues are not corrected, I will have no choice but to move my did away from them and use someone else. I also use freephoneline for a 2nd did number and have no issues. It's sad when you pay a monthly fee and have issues, where something that is free you don't.

Nov 8 2010

Just an update that the team at VOIP.ms has got their issues figured out.. It would seem the Main Toronto and Montreal servers where overloaded.. They added a 2nd server, and it seems to have corrected the issues..

Hopefully it stays this way... It's been solid since the install of the new servers.

UPDATE JUNE 15 2012

Once all the issue where resolved, it's been really good.. I have no real issues with this company.. Only wish they had some flat rate packages... but they are solid, and seems to work for my needs!

Answer regarding your DID.

The DID itself is not the issue, as you can see it works correctly when routed to severs other than Montreal and Toronto.

This issue you are reporting has been brought to our attention by less than 5 customers. This does not mean the issue is being ignored, brushed off or disregarded, but it clearly shows the scope of the issue (We have more than 22,000 DIDs).

We have responded to the customers reporting this specific issue, that for now the current work around is to simply use a different server, while we do a planned hardware upgrade of the toronto and montreal servers.

Hardware upgrades are not performed as fast as we would like with all providers, but we are moving forward with the change (Which was already planned due to our increase of canadian customers, we just decided to move the plan forward)

I do understand you wish to use a specific server to connect to, but since we have customers overseas using USA servers properly, I would believe that from Canada you should receive a very acceptable latency for most of our USA servers.

Please keep in mind that while some providers give you only one server to connect to, we have 11 servers to connect to (2 in Canada, 8 in USA, and 1 in Europe, plus the ones we will add in the following months), so please keep using a USA server while we complete the server upgrade in Canada.

Thank you for your attention

Thank you for your attention
With all due respect Peter, having 11+ servers are great but when the traffic between the home user and your pop becomes the issue, due to distance (which will happen when you live in Toronto and have to use a far off server to get things working correctly). This is the reason I would like to connect to Montreal as I do for my outbound calls without issue.

I'm trying to use Montreal because of a much better ping time and the fact there is no traffic issues between it and my home. Toronto is no longer routed via Torix and goes 1/2 way across the country to get back to Toronto, which is useless really as it has the largest issues.

I do not buy that it's only effecting less than 5 users... maybe my expectations are too high coming from Primus... but I still feel people who have not called their line from a Bell Canada or something outside the voip.ms network would find they ALL have these issues, when connected to Toronto or Montreal.

Freephoneline, has worked for me without any issues like this, as has call centric, vbuzzer, etc. etc.

I'm not saying I'm being ignored, I'm saying that due to the few reports the urgency just isn't there. I also have been reporting this issue since June when I moved my number over. IT's almost September and no fix really has happened other than moving thing to Chicago which was a temp solution. Most people would have said the hell with it and moved their number away from your company by now, but due to your reputation I'm giving you guys a chance to correct the issue.

Re: Answer regarding your DID.

Our users don't all have that issue, as you say. We've over 11,000 Canadian DIDs currently in use by our user base.

I'm truly sorry about what you experienced but we offered a valid alternative meanwhile.

We already have new servers on your prefered locations.

If you're a beginner, but want to gain a solid understanding of how VoIP works and have tons of professional-level features to play with, VoIP.ms is in my opinion the perfect starting point. And if this isn't your first rodeo and you already speak fluent SIP, VoIP.ms will likely be an excellent complement to - or even replacement for - your choice of SIP PBX. VoIP.ms' extensive feature list beats the vast majority of their competitors at this price point. I can set up sub accounts for as many devices as I like, I can have multiple voicemail boxes, and I can configure multiple devices to ring for incoming calls...even if they're not in the same location. I can set up an IVR to route inbound calls to the proper place. My favourite feature by far is Caller ID Filtering. I can't even remember the last time I received a call from a telemarketer. This is all in addition to audio quality that's every bit as good as a landline, and the best Caller ID Name in the industry. If this sounds good to you too, then welcome to VoIP.ms

I like having low ping time to my VoIP provider, but what is even more important is being able to switch PoPs to work around an internet routing issue. My ISP is cheap, but doesn't have the best track record for consistent internet routing and it's not uncommon for traffic from the west coast to the west coast to suddenly be routed through Washington, DC. This adds horrible latency and jitter that makes VoIP unusable, but fortunately with VoIP.ms and their unique multiple PoP setup, I can just switch PoPs and work around my ISP's problem. If I used a VoIP provider that had equipment in only one city, my only option would be to port to another provider. I am genuinely glad I don't have to port my number once or twice per year when my ISP has an issue. That said, I see people switching PoPs too often in troubleshooting. If routing and ping time are good and consistent, then playing PoP roulette is likely to "solve" your problem only by coincidence.

VoIP.ms has historically implemented a great deal of customer suggestions, however there have been few features released in the past two years. There are a some very important things that need improvement, that I think would make an already great VoIP provider even better.

- Their voicemail features would be complete with a "centralized" setup that did not require significant effort when switching between PoPs.

- Their multiple server setup would be complete (and they could possibly make the claim of 100% reliability) with automatic failover, including DNS SRV. We run a program on our Asterisk server that monitors VoIP.ms and changes our DID to a different PoP if our usual one goes down, however that's more complicated than it needs to be.

- Their call forwarding features would be complete with configurable answer confirmation.

Having said this, there are so few other VoIP providers that boast any of the features of VoIP.ms, that it's hard to argue a rating of any less than five stars.



Conclusion: thanks to VoIP.ms who have, for the past 3.5 years, proved to me that VoIP really can be better than a landline!

Voip.ms needs Contact Lists

In addition to CNAM, a crucial feature that adds to the Caller ID expericne are Contact Lists. I believe that Voip.ms should add Contact Lists because CNAM doesn't work in some regards, esp when cell phone calls come in, one only sees the name- "New York" or "Cellphone" and not the callers' name. With Contact lists, one can custom name ALL contacts and how they would appear in your caller id. In my opinion, Voip.ms needs Contact Lists more than any other missing feature.

Re: Callerid

I'm not sure actually as I haven't a great deal of experience with Asterisk yet. I would suspect you could write some sort of logic that said "if the passed name is 'POTS PHONE', then do a CNAM lookup,"

Edit: One other though: I've seen CNAM queries return POTS PHONE for numbers that have no name in the database. So it's possible that the "POTS PHONE" you're seeing is not passed but is actually the result of a query. This is just a guess; I don't know for sure.

Just signed up for voip.ms

I just bought a Linksys SPA3102, went to VOIP.ms, created an account, added $25 to my account with a credit card, plugged in and configured the ATA, and was making calls within a few minutes. I have not yet purchased a DID, since I'm just playing around right now.But for $0.99 per month for a DID and about $0.01 per minute incoming and outgoing, it's cheap to try out. I will be replacing my Verizon POTS line early next year and will have plenty of time to tweak the voip.ms service to my liking. So far, I'm impressed with the ease of setup, and the price. I too would like to see the ability to create a custom contact list for incoming Caller ID. After I've used the service for a few months I will write a proper review.

voip.ms and wireless broadband

Well, I have the PAP2T-NA. I have been trying to get this thing to work for incoming calls only with voip.ms. I have done resets. I have entered parameters as per instructions. I do have a DID number. I do not have a sub account. I can get dial tone. I can call the phone, and phone rings. BUT I cannot receive a call and the caller on the other end keeps ringing till busy signal which is the 60 second timeout. I have broadband wireless. I may be behind a proxy due to this internet access situation. Any suggestions to get this to work. Have tried another service with no luck at all.
Any help would be greatly be appreciated.

Re: voip.ms and wireless broadband

Hello!

Have you confirmed the DID´s point of presence matches the server you are registering to?

This could be caused by the firewall or router settings also. Im no expert but have you diagnosed while temporarily disabling the firewall, or by forwarding the ports in it?

Hope this can help solve this issue

Voip.ms

I just signed up with them and have been using the service for 2 weeks. I have to say I am very satisfied so far.

I am (or perhaps was) a total novice at voip. Once DID porting from Rogers was completed (~10 days), it took me about an hour to setup the account and the PAP2T. Didn't need to contact tech support. Registering to the sip.ca2 server (I am in Toronto) was the most "difficult" ... it took a little time and I kept thinking I did something wrong.

I am using their $4.95 monthly plan for 3500 min of incoming calls and the Value plan for 0.5 cents per min outgoing. I figure monthly bill will be $7-$10. Call quality is excellent.

I am kicking myself for not switching a year or two ago. No reason to pay Rogers $40 (with tax and system access fee !!!!) for exactly the same service.

home setup

Hi Mango,
Do you have a post somewhere detailing your setup? like what hardware/software you are using?

I'm a new customer to voip.ms for a couple months in Calgary. Have Telus Optik TV/Internet package. Cancelled my land line and ported the number to voip.ms. Couldn't seem to get the ported number working on the main account but managed to get it working via a sub-account. During the migration from Telus to voip.ms, got my Dlink-380 router replaced with an Actiontec one. I'm using a Grandstream HT-502 (2 port) behind the Actiontec as I don't have a static public ip. Using STUN server setup. Seems that every couple weeks I have to reboot my HT 502 unit by unplugging/plugging it back in. Not sure where my problem is but I figured your setup might point me in the right direction to make my setup more stable.

I've been testing voip.ms at work and it is working great. Have static ip's so thing are going a lot smoother with that implementation.

I'm planning in the near future to play with a software PBX. Currently tinkering with PBX in a Flash.

Thanks.

VOIP.MS says the porting of a phone number can take 2 to 4 weeks. In my case it only took 2 days.

I had setup the Obi to talk to VOIP.MS before the porting. Once the porting was finished I just cut the outside phone line, plugged the Obi into the phone wall jack.

The charges are $1.50 for E911 and $1.50 for phone number per month. The time charge is $0.015 per minute. The porting was a one time fee of $25.00.

Nothing to change. It just keeps working reliably and sounding great.

Lovely service. Reliable, more options than I will probably ever use. When I realized how Voip.Ms routes calls, I was very impressed with how flexible it is.

You can send an incoming call to one voice menu or another depending on time of day or day of week, or callerid; Calls can be forwarded.

You can have it call you back and then get a dial tone, and have no long-distance charge to the phone you are calling from.

The sub-accounts are great: One account and an unlimited number of sub-accounts with it.

With all this (and more), it is one of the less expensive voip providers - Premium route is 1.25 cents/minute within the US. Calls to Canada and overseas are as cheap as anybody else.
