I haven't heard anything about it going away, and they have a ton of customers on it now, and more going on. There are compatibility issues with their Fusion network, and several products are only certified with their Legacy network, so I think it is hear to stay until they resolve the issues on their Fusion platform. I understand they are working on resolving those issues now.
If you become a Broadvox reseller, there are some great commissions for your company as well.

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: http://www.siptrunk.org/interopvendors.php I honestly had no clue that there weren't some high end providers that were definitely tried and true with Sipx.

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'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 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.
