RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
Hi Guys, I have a T-1 in my house and I work from a home office in Minnesota. I have a sales person in New Mexico. Ideally, I'd like a VOIP service where when someone called me they would get a message like press 1 for sales, press 2 for Dave. The idea being that it would route the call either to her or to me. We would need voicemail and caller ID too. Does Vonage provide these kinds of services and if not does anyone have another service they might recommend? I want to give callers the impression that we are a much larger company then we are.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
We've been using Nuvio since April of this year and have not looked back. Have not experience the problems that we encountered with Commpartners.us or Vonage, the quality has been much better than expected. Vonage didn't work well over our wireless network for unknown reasons except for the way they play with mac addresses. We have the residential ata's in place and we use the nPBX versions of the service in the office over our wireless and it just flat out works great. Oh, well we can also resell it too, but so do a lot of people. It works great here. ;) Avolve Support Get High Speed Internet - Go Wireless ! http://www.avolvewireless.net -- Original Message -- From: Marc Catuogno [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 12:35:21 -0500 I have been considering switching many of our office from POTS lines to COVAD voice over IP.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
Dave, My partner and I are using a similar setup, I'm in PA and he's in FL. We use www.gotvmail.com. You get an toll free number with multiple mailboxes which will forward to any phone. It has automated attendent and has the option of attaching the voice message to an email as an audio clip. Our fax goes through it as well and comes to us attached to an email as a pdf. We have been very happy with it.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
You can do that with Nuvio, especially with the nPBX service. Main number somewhere else, extension phone in some other state. Voicemail, caller-id, 3-way calling, call transfer, call fowarding and much more. http://voip.avolve.net I'm practicing, can ya tell. No seriously it works great.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
That is one failing of Vonage. They do not provide dial-tone routing or any sort of PBX services like that. They do have something that might work for you, though. It's called simul-ring and it mans that incoming calls also ring at another number. So let's say you have a slaes number on your cards. It can ring simultaneously in MN and NM. If your NM guy's phone rings more than a couple of times, you can pick it up. There is one other very, very cool feature. You can select a number that is almost anywhere in the US, and maybe Canada also. Want to make your presence known in Virginia? Get a 703 number. They'll never know you're in MN. -d - Original Message - From: Dave Beckstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 12:22 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP Hi Guys, I have a T-1 in my house and I work from a home office in Minnesota.

[Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
I have been considering switching many of our office from POTS lines to COVAD voice over IP. Since this is such a diverse and well informed group, I was wonder if anyone has any experience with them or suggestions as to alternate VOIP providers. Off list replies are welcomed.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
Yes this is Way OT :) The good thing about Covad VOIP is that they will provide you with a SLA which is rare for a VOIP provider. The Cons are: 1) You have to use their switch router brand of phones. 2) Rates are not really that good compared to other VOIP providers. 3) Their interface is limited. i.e. you can't customize the interface to work with CRM programs. 4) DID selection is limited. i.e. they could not provide Taiwan DIDs or me. Alternatives are: http://www.asterisk.org/ http://www.digium.com/ http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-asterisk This requires some IT resources in learning and understanding, but the possibilities are unlimited. -calvis Internet Technology Group Redmond, WA -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Catuogno Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 9:35 AM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP I have been considering switching many of our office from POTS lines to COVAD voice over IP.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
I use Vonage - $25/mo unlimited for home use. Been using it for about six months, and the only problem I encountered was an occasional breakup of the voice channel while downloading large files. I was using it on a Covad 384k DSL line, which I just dropped in favor of Verizon's Fios service. The VOIP works perfectly with the greater bandwidth Fios offers (15mbps down, 1.8mbps up). You need a minimum of 90kbps for each voice channel, so be sure you have enough bandwith available. There are a few features you can't get - at least not yet. The main one that I miss is one Verizon offered that blocked incoming calls if the caller cloaked his caller ID. I always figured that if the caller didn't want me know who he was, I didn't really care to talk to him anyway. But that is MUCH less of an issue now that we have the national and statewide (NJ) Do Not Call registries. I do keep one copper POTS line from the telephone company for emergency use. If all else fails, that self-powered copper pair is worth its weight in gold. Bat all-in-all, I've never looked back. -Dave Doherty Skywaves, Inc. - Original Message - From: Marc Catuogno [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 12:35 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP I have been considering switching many of our office from POTS lines to COVAD voice over IP.

I know for a bit vonage did not provide 911 service - has that been resolved yet by them? I know the FCC mandated it..

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
Yes, was all over their website when I signed up for the service. It's very clear that you need to provide the address info, and they make it very easy to do. They were actually so pushy about it that I wondered whether they were in trouble somewhere and a few days later they were on the news about a lawsuit in Texas. -d - Original Message - From: Darrell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP I know for a bit vonage did not provide 911 service - has that been resolved yet by them?

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
I have been using Vonage at home and love it. I had tried Lingo before Vonage and HATED it, although I think most of the problems were due to the D-Link hardware that they supplied. I have had some experience with Linux based PBX systems and have found them to be much more cost effective than hardware PBXs. This along with VoIP really has the possibility of cutting quite a bit of cost around the office.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: COVAD VOIP
I'll agree with Evans. We tried Lingo and Skype. Vonage is far better. I live in Prague, Czech Republic 9 months of the year... 3 months in USA. We use Vonage to connect to North America via phone. Vonage does have settings to control how much bandwith is used when on the phone and on the internet at the same time. If you lower the setting from their default, you do not notice difference in voice or internet downloading; and the voice quality is good.
