I wonder....

Except for the handful of frequent posters( a vocal minority) answering Tim's questions, I can't begin to figure out how he can come up with an accepted solution.

In reality, the only single benchmark of whether the service works or not, is whether the service works or not. I suspect that this would be the most important facet of the service.
Sure, a few may bolt because they can't have some esoteric feature that they want or maybe had with a previous provider, but for me, the only crucial feature is that the service works with a high % of reliability. If that does not happen, no feature will take its place.

I know how difficult it must be for Tim to try to please everyone, but I wonder, in the end, if that is possible.
I would also guess that, and I've said this many times before, what would a service be like in quality and price if only a handful of basic features were offered and the development and support minimized in order to keep the costs down.

Tim could charge for YouMail, just to see how badly some want it
Even if just a setup fee.

I use You Mail with my cell and like it.

I'd like to see no answer forward. Seems like it could solve a lot of problems. You can forward to Youmail, GV or anywhere you want.

• A great call hunt tool that I would likely use.

I'm not crazy about Call Waiting.

• Still, I'd like a fall back to VOIPo Voice Mail after X rings no answer.

Personally, I would definitely use something like this if it was free, but I probably wouldn't pay extra for it (mostly due to my current financial situation). I do think that this type of feature set is on it's way to being the norm and it will be offered by more carriers soon. My opinion is the VOIPo should at least scope what it takes to implement this. You don't want to be too far behind if your competitors start offering it...

EDIT - want to add one other thing after looking at the voicepulse posts. VOIPo customers should be able to choose from three things: free basic VOIPo voicemail (not part of YouMail), basic YouMail (free but with ads) or premium YouMail. I don't want to be forced into using a voicemail service with ads. Thanks

Yes, to Youmail. Love to be able to assign different greeting to different phone numbers, especially telemarketers.

Changing greetings online is also a plus.

I don't get very many (less than 10 voicemails per quarter), so I wouldn't have a need.

Besides, I find VOIPo's voicemail is excellent.

Made me stop and think... I get maybe 3 voice mails a week - and those are usually people returning calls I made. Interesting how we all use so much email now.
