Whaddyknow, another geezer. My wife and I were married in August 1965. I didn't think anyone in this forum would come close to that.

When the pouty wives complain just remind them how much money they are saving over standard service. Show them that its close to $500 or more for a year, and see if pressing redial once a week is really worth the flowers, nice dinners and extra crap they bought with that $500.

My wife will tell you that an unreliable phone isn't worth free. That's what I told Vonage when I called to cancel, as my Vonage line had been pretty much unusable for months, despite multiple support tickets.

So far, she likes Voipo.

I have to agree with Steve. A telephone is a "bare essential" in the household, especially one with kids and/or parents/inlaws who may have a medical emergency at any time.

Yes, we have cell phones, but in a need of crisis, play date, or whatever, playing round robin with phone numbers to get a hold of someone sometimes isn't an option.

Luckily, after a few months of issues/instability, VOIPo support and I have worked out the issues and now I'm stable (no known outages for about a month).

I wish you guys would switch this chit-chat to a thread with a less ominous title!

The "Senior Member" is Tim's connotation.

Complain to him

It is a catchy title

Wives with phone problems is not a good thing....makes life tough!
We have had several problems today. A couple of calls went directly to voice mail, several other calls rang but could not hear us when answered and another caller was greeted with some sort of message: "unable to complete call...".

Been quite a blippy day for sure!

No issues on our end. Contact support and they'll work with you.

Sounds like you might need port forwarding.

If the ports aren't forwarded and the router blocks connection, it generates the error and the unable to complete calls is a generic message that the other provider plays.

Another issue tonight about our phone being "not in service". Phone rings a couple of times; we pick it up and hear nothing. Shortly thereafter phone rings again from same caller and all is well. The caller (our child) says she heard that our number was "not in service" the first time (I guess, while we were hearing the rings). 420208917_113882314@192.168.37.76 is the id of the questionable call.
