Thanks. Is broadvox legacy network something that is going away at some
point?
I have had 0 voice quality issues using Verizon VoIP and G729 at my
current company. I would never use them again though because of their
customer service issues. I don't even know if they offer their service
if you are not on their network.
I'm going to have too many small sites and can't put a PRI at those
locations.
Broadvox does seem to come up on many of the lists I have found:

I honestly had no clue that there weren't some high end providers that
were definitely tried and true with Sipx.

I would agree with Mike's assessment here. I've used VOIP.ms for
almost three years now. They are okay, and certainly have improved
over the years. They are much more reliable than they were several
years ago. But, I don't sell them as a sip trunk solution to my
customers.
Having said that, today I still only use them with customers on a
limited basis -- emergency need for lines, International calling, etc.
I use Broadvox extensively with my customers, and find their service
for the most part to be very good, on their legacy network only
though. I am currently looking at Simple Signal as well -- a
California based ITSP.
And to be quite honest, due to the reduction in cost, I am more likely
these days to recommend a PRI over SIP trunks for many customers since
PRI is very cost effective now in our area. When you can get 23
trunks for $400 or less, with 200 DID, and a block of long distance,
it's hard for these distant ITSP's to compete. There is some
additional hardware expense with a gateway, but it is very hard to
argue against the quality and reliability of PRI verses SIP trunks in
my opinion.
To add to the use of VOIP.ms -- International calling is a great use
for them. Since they are prepaid -- you have a hard cutoff for your
liability should you get hacked for international calls. I tend to
turn off International calling with the ITSP's, and have a VOIP.ms
trunk for International dialing -- for $.99 a month, you can't really
go wrong.
Additionally, I've had times when a carrier didn't get their lines
installed in time, and VOIP.ms can be provisioned with new phone
numbers, etc. in minutes to work in a pinch, so they are great to have
for many other purposes, and have been proven to be a real savior for
some projects.

i like voip.ms <http://voip.ms> but they are a tier 2 or tier 3
player. if you're serious about sip look to a large player like l3,
at&t, global crossing, etc. if you're less serious but it's still
important check out your local clec's. in either case i'd recommend
an ingate for compatibility as the major players will recognize it and
have certified against it.

I'm trying to make some recommendations to a company as to what ITSP to
use. I've almost always been locked into Verizon. I wanted to see if
Voip.ms was the overall favorite, or if it is something else. The only
other non Verizon install I did was about 1.5 years ago. I used
bandwidth.com <http://bandwidth.com> then ant this groups suggestion.
That install has worked
fine. I've seen some occasional gripes on this list recently about
Voip.ms, so I wanted to get a fresh take on what others recommend. I
need this to be a reliable carrier. The main office would have about 30
handsets, and then lots of smaller locations with 5 or 6. Any thoughts
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew
