I'm baaaaccck

Welcome back!

I would say things are very quiet but that is good.

• Canadian Virtual numbers.
• You can upgrade the 2nd line to a separate number from a virtual number
  (And you can switch back)
• Remote access number(California exchange) and dial back out.
  (Handy for calling Canada.)
• No password needed for verified numbers. (The number is called and a code is entered to validate you have access to the number.)
• Any outgoing CID can be set to a primary, virtual, or validated number.
• SimulRing or Call Hunt in beta.
• More real time billing in process for express accounts
  maybe lower cost forwarding to SIP in the works.
  maybe more competitive rates in the works.
• Most, if not all servers moved out of The Planet where a few isolated service interruptions were happening.
• Now there are Texas, and East and West data centers for servers.
• No more Grandstream
• Now PAP2T ATA (Optional) and RT31P2 Router/ATA (Primary)
  (Either could be supplied if you don't specify.)
• Call recording beta feature.
• Scheduling of DND and Call Forwarding on vPanel Beta
• API access to Star codes
• SMS access to star codes

And the beat goes on ....

OK, how does one "verify" a number to be included in Caller ID status?

What is the Mobile feature about, where you add your mobile number? I can't find any documentation that explains its purpose.

Just FYI: I came and went early this year for similar reasons, such as network glitches and certain missing features. I'm back now and, after a few connection problems at the starting gate, things are working just great. So it looks like I'm staying.

Now if they could only lower the International rates. They are just not competitive.

Peace,
Gene

I wish I could explain with an image about verifying a phone number.
The site will not accept image uploads like it used to.

You put a number in vPanel => Beta => Mobile
https://secure.voipo.com/beta/mobile

Then that number rings, and you enter the same code displayed on vPanel.
You then have the beginning of a list where you can toggle Auto-Login on and off. (For the remote Access Number.)

In vPanel => Beta => Caller ID
https://secure.voipo.com/beta/caller_id

You can select a number from the list to Set Outgoing CID.

Its really that simple

The steps are clear, but not the purpose. So what's the Auto-login in relation to the mobile number? Is that feature being added to the list of available Caller ID numbers to display? Details please.

Auto-login is for a feature that hasn't been pushed into BETA yet that allows you to dial an access number from the registered mobile number and get a dial tone to call out using the VOIPo account. This mainly for people who want to make international calls billed at the VOIPo rate vs a mobile rate OR for people to call in and use the * codes to manage their VOIPo line.

It's not been pushed out yet, but will be soon after more testing.

Thanks Tim.

That is really neat.

Anything you can do about negotiating a better International package? Your rates are on the higher end in the industry. We have a son in Spain and would use more than our 60 minute monthly allotment were it not for Skype, even though call quality isn't so good via that route.

Spain is included in the free 60 minutes of international calling to select countries.

I know. I'm thinking of when it is used up.
