Sounds like they haven't changed in two years. We ran a 30 day test with them and dropped them too. Good: byod- good rates excellent control panel, and we were able to use all the features of the sipura excellent audio, when it did work Did have a $17 setup, and unconditional guarantee (30 day 100% refund) Bad: Way too many times we had no dialtone when going off-hook (DFW softswitch) Calls went to vm rather that ring Never could port numbers Could not support multiple lines (on sipura) Added fees
Thanks Bob, we were looking at trying them again ;-) Some of the dialup isps are converting their nets to voip, you might check out joi, we had many customers use them as backup isp. voip rates look good but haven't tried them yet, on my list. they have a $4.95 /mo promo- (the promo # is their generic #, I have no connection to them whatever) I also did get the missing numbers: setup was $30, shipping $15, monthly fees $1 (from memory, couldn't find my email) Pay Only $4.95 For A Fully Featured Phone Line INCREDIBLE PRICE AND SERVICE Sign-up for a year and you'll receive a JoiPhone line for $4.95 for 12 months. Sign-up for JoiPhone month by month and receive your line for 3 months at $4.95 (Thereafter $9.95 Per Month).
