nee Williams Communications for its outbound service -- a la Vonage:

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo!
Hopefully, it'll reek of quality (seems solid here!)
Still wondering where they ported the customer-assigned GBLX DID numbers to... |

That would be good news. But how do you make the connection? BroadVoice doesn't appear to be mentioned in that article.

1 edit | Dialing to any area code (NPA-700-4141) is yielding the Williams carrier code...
Could be BV posturing itself to Vonage-like quality, with Williams' global reach for international calling; could be BV grooming itself for a sale... Who knows... |

1 edit | So then Williams is outbound... But will they open up incoming service through that provider? I would prefer not to be with XO if I don't have to, as I had problems with them back before BroadVoice signed with Global Crossing.
I just tried calling it from my 480-422 GBLX #...
480-700-4141: Number can not be completed as dialed
700-4141: "Password incorrect, please enter your password followed by the pound key" and then it hangs up (fast busy) |

When I dial NPA 700 4141 I get either "Your inter-LATA service is now active" or "We're sorry..." Of course, it's not surprising that BroadVoice would be using more than one carrier.

North Falmouth, MA | Another notable change...
Incoming calls are now using g726-32, instead of g711u. Outbound is still 726-32, as it has been for months... |

Where can you tell what codec is being used on incoming calls ? |

North Falmouth, MA | 1) Ensure you have a Sipura
2) Get an incoming call
3) check the 'info' page of the device for the 'encoder' and 'decoder' |

I have an SPA 2000. I will give it a try, thanks.
Edit: Mine says G711U. |

North Falmouth, MA | Interesting -- mine's still 726-32 (used to always be 711u). This is on my GNaps #.
I'll have to try to (former) GBLX number later... |
