I will MISS the DND feature for night time (which still allowed punch through) as I've ported from CallVantage. Yes, I figured out how to do time of day treatments but that burned 7 out of 30 possible and even so, I have to white list who can get through - not good if it's for someone where my kids might be spending the night - guess that's why we have cell phones. I'm surprised there isn't a multiple ring function (find me/follow me) as I had that with Vonage in 2003 and we support it on my company's Genband M6 switch. I had hoped to register multiple devices but it's not really supported. I suppose I can build an Asterisk box and hairpin, but then, this service strikes a good balance of providing the most features for the most potential customers. I did get it working (kinda) with Fring but I'm not so sure I like Fring in the first place. What I really want is to register multiple UAs and let CallCentric do all the things SIP promises us it will do but for now this will do. Perhaps Google Voice one day. Call quality is good - I'm forcing mu-law (G.711u) but will take G.729a if I must. Don't recall seeing T38 for fax but then, I do outbound fax perhaps twice a year (scan to PDF and email is more likely). They do have a fax mailbox in the sky and I got a simple DID for $1.95 to pick up those calls. Don't think I've even seen eFax-like capability for that price anywhere. I gave straight fives except for the website and that was hard. It just feels 1990's and looks only slighty better. Don't get me wrong - it works but could be better (sorry). The only other quibble I have: for emailed voicemail it would be nice to have the CNAME and CID in the subject. They supply it in the body (which makes it easy to call back using an iPhone) so this shouldn't be difficult. I'll follow up once I'm beyond the first day .... Followup comments:
