Interesting. I've had serivce for about a year and only had two problems recently where the called persons audio went out after about 5 min of talking. A sipura firmware update fixed that. Can't address the VM thing - I don't use it - but the fwd-no/ans works great. I do support multiple lines on sipura. I did port over my numbers. And the additional fees I am charged are just taxes (the same as Vonage)
It's possible that the network is different in different parts of the country - I'm in CA. I also call a local Los Angeles number for tech support - they actually went into my sipura and initiated the firmware update for me. I guess it's like all the new comapanies out the there - YMMV - I just dislike Vonage from my experience that I offered what I think of as a better and less expensive option to John. - Mark Larry wrote: > Sounds like they haven't changed in two years.
