Suggestions for a Home VOIP Provider?
nate1138 asks: "My wife and I recently relocated so that I could take a promising position with a better company. Her job, being the fairly progressive folks that they are, graciously agreed to let her telecommute. Most of the services she needs we already have set up, such as the VPN, and VNC for remote control, etc. Now we only have one thing left to do. Get a phone line. Her office is a long distance call from our new location, and she needs to be able to call customers throughout the southeast as well. Since we need a number with a different area code from our home, it looks like voice over IP is the only solution. I want to know what you folks think about the various VOIP providers, like Packet8,
Vonage, and
Broadvoice. Or any other that I haven't thought of. Or another way to solve the same problem without shelling out a boatload o' cash. Features are the last priority, while reliability is tops."
"You throw any type of emergency into the equation cell towers are almost useless since everyone is on their phone"
Also, do they have the location-finding features for 911 cell calls implemented yet?
Like we need another one every other week.
Yeah, yeah, i'm gonna get modded down but I gotta vent a little.
I needed to purchase a RAID system so I submitted a request to ask info about people solutions and suggestions about inexpensive ( $2000 ) stand alone hardware RAID systems or using windows or linux with an IDE RAID card.
That was rejected but since then there have been dupes and the bi-weekly VoIP story.
Like I said, I'm gonna get modded down ( and I understand why ) for whining but I do we really need yet another VoIP story?
two things:
an AK is probably a better solution than the M4
your percentages only add up to 90%
