Well it will be hard to tell what else is not working unless we get past step 1 which is being able to dial in and then dial out so yes, the DTMF thing seems to be the biggest issue.

I'd say we all need to test it:

1. from a land line (POTS) if possible
2. from a cell phone. The DTMF length setting on the phone may be set to "short" which could trigger a false sense that the voipo feature is not working.
3. test is from other voip services and note the differences in behavior.

As of yesterday, call attempts to this beta/backburner/test number were not completing.

FYI

Just tried it for the first time using my Sprint cell (Treo 700wx) and it does not recognize my *

Also the initial voice prompt starts at: "voipo number of the party you are trying to reach".

I'm assuming it says "enter" or "please enter" before that, but several tests the beginning gets chopped by the time I hear it.

When I tried it before, you needed to assume the prompts happened, but were mostly never heard. definitely needed fine tuning. Otherwise a cool experiment.

Yes... I don't how much of a need I would have for it personally, but it's always nice to have options.... lots of them for 'just in case' :)

This a nice feature. I tried to call the demo number and I'm getting "We are not able to complete this call Messgae 12 switch 540". Do you have any 925/408/650 area code # for this feature?

Thanks

This was an alpha feature we tried, but it didn't make it into launch.

It may later, but it's not yet.

Understandable that it didn't make launch, as it will be somewhat development-intensive to get it all working correctly. That said, though, it's a great feature, and I'd love to see it come back. When you need the next rollout beta-tested, let me know. :)

Please let me also know when you need the next rollout beta-tested

This is a great feature once it is implemented well.
If it can be setup with CID to work like a cardless calling card, it would fit this longish thread.
