Re: Features
I'm sorry, Mr. Helper. I'll do my best to ensure all reviews meet with your stringent expectations in the future, rather than communicating the actual experiences of any given user. Perhaps an Approval Committee would be in order? 
Call Quality has been rated an 80... Never was a 60. Why 80 rather than 100? Simple... Some choppiness. Not as much as other providers, but present none the less. There's not a "90" selection, so it gets 80.
Reliability at 60? That would be because I have reached 'dead air' on a couple of occasions. Not much, and very possibly related to initial setup. HOWEVER, THIS IS A REVIEW OF MY EXPERIENCES WITH THE SERVICE, and not a grandstand by which to elevate or trash any service unduly.
Do note the beginning of the review that stated I'm just starting out with them. Should the service continue to work as it should, the values will change. Should it go south, they'll also change accordingly. Frankly, I feel the review was quite generous in putting Phone Power in a positive light. |

I was just curious, and no you don't need an approval committee although since the RIAA feels they are the majority ya might want to consult with them, lol.
Run this test during and\or shortly after to find out what is really going on when you have choppiness. It could very well be you ISP.

I have the same problem with dead air every so often 1 call every (4-5) days with Verizon DSL. Do you have a dynamic or static IP and is your device before or after the router.
Support has concluded it is because my ht-502 is before the router and is not being sent a keep alive because of this. With Verizon DSL the IP changes every few days and when the public IP address changes it seems PhonePower won't pull the updated IP until I try making a phone call or someone calls me?
---Email From PP support--------------------------------------
The keep alive is invoked when my network sees the registration traffic request coming from a private IP. With the device in front, no keep alive is sent, so if your IP changes, then the Grandstream will have no way of relaying the IP address update to my network.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know as I'm sure PhonePower would like to have more data on this. Thanks |
