Upcoming Features/Enhancements

I'm puzzled my the "Mobile" tab. Why the "mobile" restriction? Seems quite happy to accept my Google Voice number - I guess there's a certain amount of mobility built into it :-).

Right. "Mobile" because it is away from you VOIPo phone. I believe this is the same tab that used to be labeled "SMS," but now it has many more uses: SMS, CID, VOIPo Connect, etc.

In some parts of the world, "mobile" == "cell" (US). Perhaps a different term to avoid confusion?

You also might find some new outgoing functionality within the Fax tab of a Residential Account, regardless of if you have an incoming fax number with us. ;-)

Yes, this was discussed above - http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?p=13310

Unless you're saying there is yet more . . .

The fax is very nice, because it is one of those features that, while rarely used, is needed when it's needed. And it's one of the few remaining reasons to have POTS.

Speaking of that, have you ever thought of partnering with NextAlarm? They use a PAP2-T to connect your home alarm system to their network for monitoring. Some people might like to use the second port on their VOIPo adapter for this purpose rather than for a second line or a cloned line, and rather than purchasing a whole other adapter at inflated prices from NextAlarm. NextAlarm claims to use special firmware, so that might be a non-starter, but incompatibility with their alarm system is one of the other main reasons that people don't switch to VoIP. I would think that offering alarm support would be a nice enhancement for attracting customers to VOIPo, and that VOIPo might provide a huge new channel for expanding NextAlarm's customer base. Just a thought.

I am very impressed with the outgoing fax option. I elected to drop my fax account with another provider and go with voipo, but I had resigned myself to keeping the old fax machine for the rarely time I have to have it. This is exceptional - now I've got complete fax service in and out all through voipo.

Almost ready to announce everything.

Just wrapping up the free international calling text and then we should be ready.

When I click the Incoming Fax drop-down, I see only a selection of toll free numbers. Where is the temporary fax? Do I need to order the number first, and then choose "temporary"?

Yeah. Just select a number, then the billing options will appear.
