Contact with Tech Support is fast, easy and very helpful. All my questions were answered to my satisfaction before I signed up. Excellent audio quality, very convenient voicemail which is easy to set up. I also like the call log which I can view on the computer. Bye-bye twisted pair. VOIP telephony will replace land line telephones soon. Sign up now and save big $s.

"Call Routing" my favorite feature

Number 39 : SEP 23rd, 2012 : Tim

Recommended: Yes

A small hiccup during setup process as I was hearing too much echo. Turns out I was on the "west coast" server when I should have been on the "east coast" server and was getting too much lag. Customer service found the problem and took care of it immediately. I am QUITE satisfied with the system, and keep the price in mind. I pay $6 a month and had moved from $48 or so with ATT, and $30 before that with Vonage. At $6 I don't expect miracles. That being said, for the price the system IS a miracle. You have every known feature available but best by far is "call routing." On any number that comes through, including ANONYMOUS, 000-000-0000, UNAVAILABLE and any other trick telemarketers can come up with you can "choose" what happens to that number the next time they try to call. It can be blocked, disconnected, forwarded, put on a black list, put on a white list etc. I choose "disconnected" which is nothing more than Voipo's system telling the caller "We're sorry, but the number you have been trying to reach has been disconnected." I'm on the Do Not Call list but it doesn't matter they still call...only now they can only call once because I'll go to my computer, log into Voipo, find the number and block it. My block list has over 200 calls on it now. It took a while but my phone hardly rings anymore. Long story short Voipo is worth every penny of the $6. Seriously it's $6 a month for a "land line." I've spent that much on a shot of whiskey :)

WoW!

Have had VOIPo for a month now. I cut the wiring externally from the house and plugged the VOIPo device into the house wiring. All phones get tone and ring just like "normal." We did have the lowest priced CenturyTel plan which included nothing for 27.89 a month taxes included. I now have Caller ID, Call forwarding, 3 Way calling and complete control of my phone. I can set up white/black lists, set a ring for special callers and have a log of all calls incoming and outgoing plus a lot more for less than 1/4 the price! I am amazed at the sound quality. My wife, who is very picky, can't even tell the difference. She loves the added features and it just works! Kudos to VOIPo!

BEWARE! Free 60 Minutes Int'l calls MISLEADING

Number 37 : AUG 1st, 2012 : John

Recommended: Yes

So far (3 weeks) the service is quite good. However, don't be mislead as I was thinking that you get 60 free minutes of international calls. They cleverly indicate "to selected locations," of which there are very, very few. A 20 minute call to Mexico generated a bill of nearly $3.00 ($0.13 per minute)--very unexpected. Carefully check your location on there International "Package" to see if its included in the free time. Most likely it will not be. Also note that the price is not $129 for 24 months prepaid, but actually $165 which includes "taxes." On balance, just be aware of these issues. The service is nearly 7 times cheaper than what I was paying to ATT, so on balance I have to say it has a lot going for it-just read the fine print.

Great Choice

Number 36 : JUL 27th, 2012 : Tom

Recommended: Yes

I just switched from another "voice over" provider to Voipo and was amazed at how easy the set up was. Voice quality is excellent and I think the calls go through faster...no echoes and no dropped calls...What more could you ask for? I did have one minor glitch with the # of ports on the voice modem but they took care of that right away so I can actually call them the friendly phone company just as they describe themselves. I signed up for the two year package for a total of $165, including all fees and taxes for both years, unlike my other provider who hit me up with additional fees and taxes at the start of the second year. Of course only time will tell but I have a really good feeling about my switch to Voipo!

Good By AT&T, Hello VoIPo

Number 34 : JUN 2nd, 2012 : Cliff

Recommended: Yes

Went from $39/month to about $6. Received internet module in days, plug-in to router easy. Decided to leave land-line home wiring, plug phone jack into internet module. We ported our 20-yr home phone # took a week an all is well. Sound is clear, home phones work great. We are still working on loss of caller ID numbers when phone rings (phone does not show incoming ID numbers and we are not sure, why?). Not real clear on all the service features...just too techno for me. Overall, saving big money for land line is the bottom-line. Highly recommend switching, good-bye AT&T.

Very Happy

Number 33 : MAY 10th, 2012 : Chris

I had a Verizon (land line) and was paying $60 a month. I finally got wise and decided to try voip service again. I had used 8x8 several years ago but was not happy with the service. Can?t remember why. I did a lot of research before selecting VOIPO. One of the main reasons I selected them was not only were they one of cheapest but, if you decide to drop their service, they will refund your money for the months you don't use. Most other voip services I found didn't offer a refund for unused months. I ordered a promotion for $186 for 2 yrs which includes all taxes and fees. I even found a coupon code that gave me a free extra month. That works out to $7.44/mo for everything! I really like their website. You have a lot of control over your phone service. Including, being able to forward you phone to a mobile phone if you?re are not home. One of my favorite features is ?black? listing those pesky calls from telemarketers or people asking for money. Voicemail is delivered to your email as a wav file so you can listen to it on your computer. But dialing 123 puts makes it easy to access it from your phone. The support has been good. It?s even US based, so there?s no language barrier. Thank goodness! Even though they have limited support hours, I was able to get someone on a chat session very quickly every time I needed. I had some initial issues with my service as I?ve seen in some other reviews. But I believe that was because I put the voipo unit behind my wireless router. It took some tweaking to get everything working. But the Voipo support folks worked with me until everything was resolved. I rarely have issues now. Everything worked fine when I attached the voip unit directly to my cable modem. I just didn?t want my internet connection going through the Voipo unit. Transferring my home number from Verizon took some time, but that was mostly because of Verizon. Voipo?s correspondence during that time was very good. They gave me a temp number while my home number was being transferred. You can't fax unless you purchase a separate line. Voipo does allow you to fax from their web site, but you have to scan you document first and save it as a file. Then you can only attach one document at a time. Since I don't fax much, this is not a big issue for me. Overall, for the price I paid, the service has been very good and I?m happy with them. My only real concern is with all the new voip companies springing up, will Voipo be able to stay in business. But since they are basically HostGator and offer other services besides voip, I?m hoping that provides some stability to the company.

VoIPo Review

Number 31 : APR 6th, 2012 : Bob

Recommended: Yes

Hooked up Grand Stream HT502 behind DIR-655 router, plugged in 2 RJ11 connections, and it worked without any issues. Took 2 business days to receiving HT502 ATA. Porting AT&T POTS took about a week. Total cost for 2 years was $165 including Tax/Fees. Quantizing distortion seems slightly more than POTS but still more than acceptable.
