Free long distance to countries around the world like Vonage just announced it was going to do?

I veto that. Nothing is free. If it costs VOIPo we customers will end up paying for it and I don't want to subsidize those who want it. There are plenty of inexpensive plans for those who care about such things. Or, if you think your usage is going to be off the wall, join Vonage or some big company which can afford to take a hit or two.

Veto it all you want. Tim asked for speculation, and I jokingly gave it to him. This thread is about Voipo customers speculating on new features/enhancements.

Secondly, I came from Vonage and am a very happy Voipo customer. Speculation is what he wanted, and that's what I gave him.

Veto. That's rich! I can't stop laughing!

Nationwide network of Voipo Connect numbers - a local call from at least the top 100 'markets' (at least one location per state)...

Enhancements to DND/Simulring to allow 'emergency override' and 'call confirmation', respectively. In other words, active DND sends incoming calls to a recording where the caller can choose to go to voicemail or override DND and ring the Voipo phone (Voipo user would have to enable 'emergency override' feature). Call confirmation would be that if simulring is active and an incoming call is 'answered' by the simulring target phone, the person answering the phone would have to press 1 to accept the call (to ensure that a human has answered and not a VM system). More than one simulring target, too.

Call logs - cumulative stats (e.g. total inbound, total outbound, aggregate total) for range of calls displayed... (I thought usage totals were on the call logs, but I haven't seen them recently.)

vPanel enhancements - more up-front documentation/context-sensitive help integrated into the feature screens...

Other DND enhancements: Scheduling, 'countdown' (e.g. start DND for the next 3 hours, after which it turns off automatically)

Easier-to-use Contact management system in vPanel?
