Forum Members, What is your opinion on this?
It's not spam. It's harmless and relevant. Greater community participation... users and suppliers... enriches the community experience. Just ignore what does not interest you.
I have to agree. What is "spam" to one person may be useful information to someone else.
And let's not forget we've had other VoIP providers (Nitzan of FutureNine, Sam of CircleNet, etc) posting about their products/services in this forum.

Be glad you have VoIP products and services and suppliers to choose from. If you have a legitimate complaint, present it to the forum moderator/owner. Unleashing and recruiting spam judgments from a 'moral majority' to pressure a participating community member is bad form.

This is not spam. I am trying to help users who need to have the MWI feature back. If you created a product to get MWI back and posted on this forum would it be spam?

These posts have more Spam in them than the Monty Python Cafe's Spam, Spam, Spam, bacon and Spam, loverly Spam. It's the very definition of Spam to post the same advertisement across multiple discussion threads in a forum, offering to "fix" something by instead buying a different service.

The only annoying spam I see on this forum daily is the columns of repeating advertisements down the margins that cause each page to load slowly and to not fit in in a standard 1024 display width, causing the user to have to scroll horizontally to read this forum. Spam and poor forum design... whine about something that matters.

For anyone that REALLY misses this feature, I would point out that it is possible to set up you own PBX on a Raspberry Pi for around $50 or maybe a bit more (cost of Raspberry Pi 2 + power supply) using the RasPBX software (pro tip: DON'T install the Incredible PBX addon mentioned on that page; you don't really need it and for most users it's useless bloatware). Then you can loop your incoming Google Voice calls through the PBX as described in this article, which among other things allows you to use the internal Asterisk voicemail system, which will still provide MWI to your phones.
It's a bit of a convoluted solution just to get one feature back, but it is possible. A far less expensive solution is to simply have Google Voice email you copies of all your voicemails. If you have set up a separate Google account just for Google Voice and you don't normally check the Gmail account associated with that account, then what you can do is log into that Gmail account (NOT Google Voice, you want to be in Gmail but logged in under your Google Voice account) and go to settings and set up mail forwarding, so that any email that is sent to your Google Voice account gets automatically forwarded to the primary email account that you do check regularly.
