Re: outgoing does cost. Directly from the VOIPo.com "All VOIPo Features At A Glance" page:
Caller ID w/ Name
All accounts include fully functional Caller ID with both name and number.
and
*67 Outbound Caller ID Blocking
Don't wish to disclose your information on a particular call? Not a problem. Simply dialing *67 before calling automatically blocks your outgoing Caller ID.
The second one is kinda vague, but they do say "Caller ID", "your information" and "outgoing Caller ID", not "Calling Number" which leads one to believe that they'll get what we all know as Caller ID. Until this thread it never really dawned on me that, as many times as I thought I might need the blocking feature, my Outgoing Caller ID was not real Caller ID . . . |

I think you are misunderstood the fact. You saw the feature at voipo.com is for incoming caller ID. I was concerned about the outbound caller ID.
This is what voipo customer care replied to my support ticket.
"Hello,
Outgoing callerID is not supported.
Only the number is sent.
Some carriers may try to show the area the number is registered to.
In such cases, your number will likely show the city or state that the number is from.

| I fully understand way more than you know. I grew up in corporate advertising and rebranding. Did a rebranding of a divestiing baby bell in the late 80's.
Caller ID w/ Name
All accounts include fully functional Caller ID with both name and number.
There is really nothing being said about which direction. The ambiguity of this tells me standard outgoing POTS style CID. If this is not true, the copy on the website needs to be changed to accurately represent what is actually meant.
Can't wait to see the long awaited "Users Manual". It'll probably read like stereo instructions in some obscure Bisayan dialect. |

kudos:4 | It really does seem that they provide Caller ID, inbound and outbound, with the way it is worded. My understanding was that if you ported in a number that already had caller ID it would show up on outbound calls. |

They do provide caller ID, but no caller ID name. For example if a person called "Bob Builder" call you from 123-456-7890 your caller ID will show
BUILDER BOB
123-456-7890
But with Magicjack and Voipo, it will show in few other ways, such as:
1234567890
123-456-7890
UNKNOWN CALLER
123-456-7890
ANONYMOUS
123-456-7890
in in very rare case STATE NAME or AREA NAME
123-456-7890
etc.
It depends on the service provider for the receiving party. But no name is transmitted by voipo. |
