Re: [BroadVoice] Who has the BroadVoice service? F
I've read the reviews on BroadVoice, VoicePulse,
AxVoice and am up in the air on who to go with.
I've got an Asterisk box setup, with SoftPhones, Uniden UIP1868 5.8Ghz.
Broadvoice has a great price, what seems like great features, and a virtual number is 1.99/mo, and has a 2000 min softcap on unlimited residential calling.
VoicePulse also has great prices, about the same great features, and the virtual number is 4.99/mo and a softcap of roughly 4000 min unlimited residential.
AxVoice is about the same, might be cheaper one of the bunch, appears to have free virtual number. Downside, not LNP in Ohio, or so their map shows. They've got numbers, but not sure why they can't do LNP.
I'm kind of confused, but is they 2000/4000 minutes outgoing, incoming, or both?
I was going to try the small BroadVoice (100 min plan) to get my Asterisk box setup, and if things work, switch to the unlimited State ($9.99/mo), or Unlimited Nation ($19.99/mo).
Also would paying the $10/$20 bucks to get a 2 seat license for the g729 codec help in any of these.
Thanks any input on these would be greatly appreciated.
I had looked at SunRocket, but it seems like everyday there's some negative feedback on these guys. |

| Do your homework before getting an unlimited plan for Asterisk. Most providers won't let you "BYOD" with an unlimited plan due to the possibility for abuse. This is one area where Broadvoice is innovative.
So, for an unlimited VoicePulse plan with Asterisk, you would have to use a VoicePulse-locked ATA (even if you provide it) and an FXO card in the Asterisk box.
You may also want to shop for a DID phone number and your outgoing separately. Unless you're consistently using more than 1200 minutes per month, VoipJet/Voxee/IAX.cc for outgoing and My Phone Company/VoicePulse Connect/Broadvoice/IAX.cc for incoming can also be good options. |
