CircleNet would like to introduce ourselves to the Obi world
Norris:
Thanks for the info.. I've signed up to try.
Am a CISSP and CISA … in case you need any audit or security consulting.
MacOverAll:
BTW... here are my initial thoughts on a GV "route" change for my OBIHAI usage.
http://www.CircleNet.us, web site is simple, managment UI, simple, but you know what, if you're making phone calls, how important is the web UI?
Given the implosion of XMPP shuttering the door over at Google Voice, I sought out a hopefully reliable, great audio quality, pay for what-you-really-need provider. GV still has hands-down best spam/telemarketing control.
To that end, I'm using CircleNET for the only service they provide: outbound calls. And GV -> FreelyCall ->ObiHai will be for inbound. latency not a problem with the top-tier routes between broadvoice and FreelyCall even with FreelyCall's Frankfurt, Germany (at least from what I can tell on routes) SIP server.
**I truly believe that by CN focusing on outbound, they do it better than most for less than all that I've seen so far.**
That said, this is "early-on" for the "unbundled" VOIP for me, so I've got a lot to learn and will hopefully learn more, but CN reflects great values, even as simple as finding ways to get low to no cost calls for public servants that are separated from their families by distance and months-years at a time.
Service is non-contract, pre-paid via PayPal, they offer a $2 credit to "try on their 20 dimes". So far the 75 minutes have all been more clear than the Google Voice calls and would have only cost $0.30.
Why pay more for phone service, with a little work, find the best incoming provider(s) GV +FC and so far best outgoing CircleNet.us (FC is freelycall.com, they offer free WA, USA DIDs w/ free incoming minutes, manual implementation, but friendly/efficient service all things equal)
PatrickRyan:
I too gave up the GV ghost and am now using CircleNet for outbound. My experience comports with MacOverAll's early assessment "So far the 75 minutes have all been more clear than the Google Voice calls and would have only cost $0.30."
What's not to like? May CirleNet grow and prosper!
Sam_from_CircleNet:
Thanks guys for the compliments! We really want to be the best on the quality side, if we also happen to be the cheapest in some cases even better. ;D
Also Norris, I spent time with the DOD I remember the 8570 and DCID6/3 requirements we aren't that tight yet but security auditing is high up on our list.
Thanks!
Sam
Norris:
Got it set up. First test call to my mom and sound quality is awesome!
Question #1 … most of my calls are in TN .. would rates be less if I pointed to east rather than outbound?
Question #2 … seeing all of the custom DigitMap work people are doing… do I need to make changes to the generic map that Obi puts in there?
