Re: [General] Voip Provider with BYOD
said by jay_rm  :said by priller :I just started the process of porting my number from Vonage (due to the price increase) to voip.ms ... we'll see how that goes. Please keep us informed as to how that goes. I have a number I want to keep but it's very low volume. Pay-per-minute would be perfect for it... The port from Vonage to voip.ms completed today. It went smoothly and took 3 weeks. Voip.ms provided status along the way. |

I agree that voicepulse.com and broadvoice.com both offer solid service. If you want to go cheaper you can get a so called unlimited plan from viatalk.com if you want to get cheaper you can did a number for $35 a year from gizmoproject.com for unlimited incoming and .02 for outgoing or get another provider like voicepulse.com to get it down to .01 or less for USA long distance. If you want to go even cheaper you can get a free Washington based number from ipkall.com and only pay for your outgoing calls. However you need to make calls on it on a regular basis or they will retire your number and give to someone else.
Are you a skinny man like me who doesnt need a buffet?
Oh Stricly speaking from domains...

As someone who has subscribed (and used) at one time or another scores of current and now defunct VoIP providers ... and given your desire to use a PAP2T-NA (of which I have many in service at the moment) ... and not knowing whether you have high, moderate or low monthly usage (as DracoFelis so cleverly posited) ...
I would point to CallCentric, especially if your not-to-high call volume permits you to take advantage of their PAYG plan. My reasoning is expounded upon in my BBR Review. (Just click on CallCentric in the left column, under my "N9MD" monicker.)
As to the lack of telephone support with CC, my review (and many prior posts) show why some of us prefer on-line Trouble Ticket contacts (especially with CC's rapid responses) ... because rather than getting useless scripted "suggestions" from an uninformed Level 1 CSR, a written request can be dispatched to higher tiered individuals who actually have the answers at their fingertips .. so a single response within a few hours (or the following morning for late night trouble ticket submissions) will more often than not resolve any problem quickly. |

said by Snake Doctor :Why is Africa a hard location though? VoIP in a lot of countries is illegal. The country's telephone system is run by one carrier that is owned by the government. They want to keep competition out and international rates high. VoIP circumvents this by passing the calls through the internet to be terminated locally and appear like a local call. This is legal in the US - but may not be legal in other countries. In such a scenario the terminating partner is usually a very small company, who's basically doing something that might be illegal in their own country. Such companies are not always reliable.

said by nitzan :Just remember that some countries are harder to connect than others. Europe etc. you're almost never going to have a problem with - however Africa for example is a hard location for VoIP. With Future Nine, if you have a problem connecting - just switch routes by prefixing the number with 02(grey),03(white, or 04(premium). Please see an explanation of our grey, white, and premium routes. This isn't a cure-all and some locations are hard even with the premium route - but overall the idea is to have you control the quality of your calls. Why is Africa a hard location though? |

Did you set the CID number to send for the account, in the user portal ... under settings? I've never seen it not work. |

I used viatalk for a while and was good but started getting all these wierd fees even though i had a rep add all the fees and charge my card only one time so i could keep track of them
Had some oversease calls not going through but i got charged and a rep told me i have to be charged regardless of it not going through because they get charged.Found that confusing so i didnt bother arguing with her at all,just adviced myself rather
Voip.ms was ok with local calls but they always spoof your calls and i tried to let them know about it ,they tell you they'll look into it and never get back to you
Their international calls have horrible call quality and the premium service is high,i'd give viatalk good rating if the call does go through to be smoooth
Now i'm giving future nine a try and i've read a lot about them so i hope not to run into too many problems with them |

said by priller :I use voip.ms and CallCentric as well. voip.ms is my primary provider due to CallCentric's lack of CNAM. I use these two providers as my main ones, as well.
I understand that CC is working on a CNAM solution now.
Interesting thing is, CNAM is getting less and less useful. Even on my Verizon business landline, the CNAM on half of the incoming calls just says "Cellphone NJ" or "Private Name" (the latter is often a VoIP caller).
So when my wife calls me on her cell, I just see "Cellphone NJ" on the CNAM.
Because of this, there is actually an advantage to CallCentric's current system where you can specify the CNAM name associated with a particular number. Thus on my CC line, I can have my wife's name show up instead of "Cellphone". And if Joe Hawkins from XYZ Company calls me, I can have Joe Hawkins show up instead of XYZ, if I prefer. |
