[Asterisk-Users] VoicePulse Connect Usage ??

[Andrew Edmond]

Asterisk-Users --

I've been very happy with VoicePulse IAX2 service.  I have not noticed
any outages at all.  The user "VoicePulse" in #asterisk on
irc.freenode.net is very helpful as well.  

Any issues I HAVE had (mainly iax.conf questions) are responded to
quickly in the IRC channel.  Setting up new expansion phone numbers
(DID) for incoming calls is quick, easily done on the web, and
inexpensive.

It is clear they are committed to Asterisk and it's community.  I'll let
you know if my experience changes, but as of now they are a hard
provider to beat.

Andrew

PS: I am just a user of their service and not affiliated with them in
case anyone was wondering.  I just thought I'd balance the negative
experiences of the prior poster with my more positive experience.

That is what they told me too.  When I asked them if they could change 
that, they said sure.  I do not presently have a limit that I am aware 
of.  I'm not sure how many incoming calls I have ever had but I have 
done upwards of 20 simultaneous outgoing calls.

I do not want to get into a provider war here but....  I'm scared of 
Voicepulse.  I've used them for six months and I've had far to many 
problems.  There have been too many outages and they have changed their 
callerid to be something non standard.  I had to do a bunch of work to 
my agi script to get it to work properly, the change was made without 
notification too.  They have added IAX servers so their reliability may 
have gone up...  If you need a short list of other providers to try, 
contact me off list.
