Zingotel Gone?

What does your common sense tell you?

I am sure that you are smart enough to figure out the answers to all of the questions you asked.

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

Why keep picking losers?

Why not go with good companies that have track records, good reviews, satisfied customers on the same website that you are already a participant in?

Miracle Telecom has a testimonial from John Doe on their website! If that isn't an endorsement, I don't know what is!

I also noticed this:

Here's more info on some folks associated with ZINGOTEL:

From the ZINGOTEL website:
Form 8-K for ZINGO, INC.

(---this shows Zingo and Zingotel are the same---)

Change in Directors or Principal Officers

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On August 30, 2005, Chen Wu and Madanayake Udaya resigned as officers and directors, and Tony Castro resigned as a director, of Zingo, Inc. (formerly Javakingcoffe, Inc., and herein referred to as "we", "us" or the "Company"). Our Board of Directors had appointed, effective August 30, 2005, two additional directors to our Board, Holly A. Roseberry and Mehboob Charania, who now, following the resignations of Messrs. Wu, Udaya and Castro, constitute our new Board of Directors. On August 30, 2005, our new Board of Directors appointed Holly Roseberry as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mehboob Charania as Treasurer and Secretary, of the Company.

Ms. Holly Roseberry is a director, and is the president and chief executive officer, of Hybrid Technologies, Inc., the majority shareholder of the Company. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1973. Ms. Roseberry was employed from 1993 to 1996 as human resources manager, and from 1997 to 1999 as business office manager, of the Las Vegas location of Wards Department Store. Ms. Roseberry was not employed from 1999-2001. From 2001 to 2003, she acted as manager for 24/7 Drycleaning Laundromat, a private Las Vegas business.

Mr. Mehboob Charania is a director, and has been the secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer, of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. since November 15, 2002. Since June 2001, Mr. Charania has been the owner and operator of Infusion Bistro, a restaurant located in Calgary, Alberta. From 1998 to 2001, he acted as a manager at IBM\'s Calgary office.

And THESE articles suggest links between Zingo/Zingotel, its parent Hybrid Technologies, Hybrid's new company name EV Innovations (Electric Vehicle), and perhaps Jay Leno:

I'm done. Bye all!

Well I took PX Eliezer 's advice and found myself another carrier.
I opened a "bare essentials" account with Future Nine for $7/m and deposited $15.
Will see how well this provider works for FAX and international calling.

If everything works out this carrier's rates are much lower than Zingotel's.
I am not exactly sure why I stuck with these losers for so long.

Thanks,
Nite Rider

Wow. She went from managing a dry cleaning store to managing a VoIP provider?!?

I think this one's got to win some sort of award.

Let me know if you need anything with Future Nine. Welcome!

Ms. Roseberry is likely somebody's wife, probably the guy who owns the dry cleaning shops in Vegas who has invested in Hybrid Technologies.

Good luck.

In case you didn't know, Nitzan is the owner of FutureNine, and I'm sure he will take good care of you. Let him know if you have questions.

(Regarding fax, this forum has many posts dealing with tips for faxing over Voip. However, please note that Voip faxing is very challenging for ANY of the companies. Voip was never originally designed to be compatible with fax.)

Tips for fax over VoIP. These will definitely help - especially the jitter buffer change.

nitzan, You fax tips page ends with:

One more note: we have discovered that some of our vendors support voice better, while some of them support fax better. If you are trying to fax to a number which is a dedicated fax, you have completed all the steps above, and after repeated tries it is still not working - please email us with the number you are trying to send to, and we will override that number to go through a provider who supports fax better.

How is it that a vendor that supports fax better, isn't at least as good as another vendor for voice calls? (IOW, how could a vendor that doesn't support fax as well as the next guy, be better for voice calls than a vendor that supports fax better?)

For anyone wondering if there is a connection between zingotel and miracletel just think about this one left and the other showed up shortly after then miracle started contacting zingo customers. That by itself is strange but it gets better. If you have a zingo box spa2100 it is now getting its config file from »prov.miracle.com/spa/cfg/Mac.cfg this is just a bit of what is in the cfg file

alpha6754 manageMe 1 services.zingotel.com:65430 DHCP,Manual 1 G729 0.020 360 210 1 »prov.miracletel.com/spa/cfg/$MA.cfg 90 15 45 8 GMT-05:00 time-b.nist.gov 1 1 $NOTIFY full talk.zingotel.com 600

it would be hard to belive they are not the same people

Very interesting. Thanks.

But I think that there was no doubt about this, regardless.

Not the first time this type of thing has happened.

Why "Miracletel"?

Mmmph.

There's an old Hollywood joke about a movie studio called Miracle Pictures. Slogan: "If it's a good movie, it's a Miracle"

Why does the sound a lot like the Sunrocket/Teleblend all over again.

Yeah. But at least TeleBlend was in existence beforehand.

Sounds more like BlueSky to "SunRise".

See:

»www.voipmonitor.net/2007/07/20/B···way.aspx

»www.voipmonitor.net/2007/08/23/S···ers.aspx

And the FOLLOWUPS: (Voxilla posts from late 2008):

"SUNRISEPHONE BROADBAND PHONE (VOIP) (www.sunrisephone.com) appears to be dead. No service, will not answer emails, phone calls or support tickets. Appears to be a scam and same entity as BLUE SKY BROADBAND which shut down last year and continued charging customers for months..."

"I had sunrise phone for months, never worked right and then they doubled my rate per month. We told them we wanted it disconnected, sent the box back, and even changed our bank card. They are still trying to charge us and it's been three months. I get an email EVERY day saying we owe them but I can't reply to it and they don't answer any email, calls, etc... It's getting annoying but at least they can't get to my money now. Gee you have to watch out for companies like this, it's terrible..."
