Re: news update
Looks like Packet 8 charges an add'l $1.99 on top of monthly fee, for E911, screw that.
Additional Packet8 Features
Features not included with the monthly service fee
quote:
Enhanced 911
Packet8 "Enhanced" 911 (E911), a government mandated service, automatically routes calls and computer-based "screen pops" of caller information to emergency personnel at local Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). Because Packet8's E911 call data is routed as emergency traffic and is accompanied by E911 caller information, callers receive the same response from emergency personnel that they are accustomed to receiving from legacy, switched telecommunications 911 services provided by traditional telephone carriers.

Cost: $1.99 per month

It's just that some bury the cost in their fee while others itemize it. Maybe Sunrocket didn't charge for 911 but look where they are now.

It looks like they charge $24 more a year than ViaTalk, despite advertising the same price...screw that. |

FINALLY, AP has come out with the story, 5 Days after BBR knew what was happening!
No mention of the AOL pigeons that raped the company, AP puts the blames on slower growth than the other VOIP companies |
