[Asterisk-Users] Has Nufone gone belly-up

[Chris Albertson]

I think discussions about which VOIP service providers are best
or "not best" is a reasonable topic for an asterisk user's
list.  After all, selecting a provider is a big deal 

Rants about some company just make the "rant-er" look bad and
should be avoided.

Back to NuFone.  I've just started testing thier service.  So far
so good.  The sound quality and pricing is very much like Iconnect
but NuFone will accept IAX2, a big plus.

But my e-mails are ignored.  Actually sending e-mails was part of
the test of this vendor.  I'm testing to see if they answer e-mail.
So far, not good.  Maybe NuPhone needs to loosen up their spam
filters or at least scan the spam folder every few days.
