Re: [BroadVoice] Who has the BroadVoice service? Feelings on it?
The voice quality is as good as any (voip service).
sometimes it is impossible to connect to certain numbers . I found a moble number in spain that I connected to one time out of about 20 attempts. It connected from POTS without fail.
The BYOD plans are a great deal, there is no contract, you may cancel at any time.
I have never used broadvoice with a broadvoice provided adapter
For BYOD users, I highly recommend using the download config method over the manual config method, unless you dont mind tweaking. |

There is a big "if", for BYOD plan claiming "no contract" and can "cancel any time".
The first "if", is that if you purchased a device from Voxilla, that came with a 1 month free coupon / vouchure, and if you do cancel within that month, then they still will charge you beyond the 1st 500 minutes, despite the coupon said nothing of that sort,and it was an inclusive FREE month of service. So that FREE month with a value of up to $39.99, well, you won't get that value for free. I fought and got them to agree not to charge me, a 120 minute charge of $4.50 or so.
A second "if", is that even if you ordered a BroadVoice device, you are also bound with that 500 minutes, should you cancel within the first month, and have to pay the extra minutes.
Some people just lowered it down to the Lite BYOD plan for $5.95 for the 2nd month, and then cancel it, to avoid the problem above. It shows how contradictory their FREE offer means, on Voxilla's store (and possibly others). |
