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
