To address the issue about the Firefox browser, I develop [if you want
to call it that, lol] the sites on Opera so it should work fine in
Firefox. Nothing fancy at all just HTML 4.0 forms, etc. The other
poster hit the nail on the head, it was out of DIDs. I just loaded
another 200 random dids in so we'll see how long those last.
I'm going to add code to confirm the email addresses that people
signed up for to avoid "DID hogging" and also going to reclaim DIDs
that go totally unused for more than probably a 30 day period to keep
DIDs from going stale and unused.
And about the free outgoing, I don't want people to jump through hoops
at all. That's not what this was supposed to be about. I don't want
people to have to use something like Paypal either, that's irritating
and a lot of people used the service from out of the country [like
some US Marines calling home from Iraq] that couldn't use paypal anyway.
I do like the Web of Trust idea. Maybe I'll do it google style and
give out some invites to people [say 5] and then those 5 people will
get a couple invites, and so on. Each invite would point back to the
person who gave it so if I trust Bob and he trusts Sam who trusts Sue
but Sue turns out to be an abuser, I can see that Sam give it to Sue
and revoke Sue's account and make her "untrustworthy" to the system
[blacklisted]. If Sam invites several people that all end up black
listing, than Sam's ability to get invites will get removed [but he
would not get blacklisted since he is not abusing, just passing out
invites to abusers]. This would have to all be done by machine to
scale ... not sure I have the time to put the code together but if it
worked it might be useful for other free services out there.
What do you guys think?
yours,

any future controls will not suffer from that inability to communicate.
Those of us who have signed up early, and not abused your generosity
perhaps ought to be on the top of the invite list?
Can GOIAX be configured to show the assigned DID and registered name,
rather than the present 202-556-0000 that shows up when outbound calls
could be made?
A limit on number of calls per minute,hour,day,week or month might be a
place to start
Low DID usage and reassignment might discourage use. If one gives out a
DID and it is then moved xx days later for low usage, then who will even
publish it?
Perhaps expand the registration process to include name, address and
another phone number?
If your business plan is to evolve into a pay service of some sort, you
will want that information anyway
Don't make everyones life too complicated simply to discourage a (
hopefully ) small number of abusers.
The service worked great, though call setup time did increase the last
several days, probably due to the rising abuse
