November 16, 2008 --- Yep! I know we are all waiting for the official release, but VOIPo is shipping adapters and activating service to new sign-ups through sales@voipo.com.
Meanwhile, my VOIPo service continues to operate flawlessly. Though I love to fiddle with BYODs with my other VoIP providers, I have found that it's "set it and forget it" with VOIPo ... no need to change servers, no need to reset adapter to restore service.
I recently added a Virtual Number on the fly, activated within minutes, and selected from a long list of available DIDs (by State, Area Code, Rate Center).
Realizing that the desire for specific options within VoIP feature sets is highly individualized ... and VOIPo may have some features still in development ... I personally am content with the current features.

August 1, 2008 --- As an alpha and then beta participant with VOIPo, I have had the pleasure of observing a well-thought out project as it has gone from the drawing board to the upcoming public launch. The philosophy from the get-go has been to make sure that the product and service and support are fully tested and ready for prime time -- before opening it up to the public.
My VOIPo line works as advertised each time I make an outgoing call or receive an incoming call. The full feature set is functioning well.
Having seen so many VoIP providers come and go --- with some existing ones teetering precariously even now --- there is a degree of confidence inherent with VOIPo because it is partnered with a webhosting company (HostGator) with over 1.2 million customers --- essentially a built in potential new-customer base for VOIPo --- not to mention the deep pockets financial resources provided by HostGator.

| VOIPo Wow. So many good reviews by so many long-term members.
Kind of taken aback at all these reviews in the last 25 days for a pretty new company. Well, that even beats Future-Nine's record!
Curious:
1) Will they be offering only residential service? (Business service would be nice).
2) PAYG plan?
3) If customer already has an ATA, can that be used, or does customer have to use the ATA supplied by the company?
4) How much is activation fee and additional monthly fees?
5) Apologize in advance for saying this, but every time I hear the name, I think of an anti-gas product called Beano. Name is certainly unique.
Good luck to all. | |

| Re: VOIPo Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated.
Yes, please note, I specifically mentioned that the reviewers were long-term members of the website. This of course greatly adds to credibility.
There does seem to be another company using a very similar name. See this website:
»www.voipogo.com/
On that website, that company calls their service "VoIPo Unlimited".
Hope there won't be too much confusion. | |

| Re: VOIPo Ack! Sorry to further muddle things, but it looks like there are actually three (3) outfits with rather similar names:
»www.voipo.com/
»www.voipgo.com/
»www.voipogo.com/
Might it be best to modify the name before a big public release? As Harry Potter might say, "spelling" can sure cause problems.

It has already been determined that VOIPo is the real thing ... the product we have all been awaiting. The other two have been outed as being reseller sites for an existing competitor -- ViaTalk. The President of VOIPo (Tim Dick) has posted the revelation that the CEO of VT has already apoplogized for what may well be a copyright infringement ... and enforcement action is under consideration.
In my opinion, the choice of the "similar" names was a conscious decision on someone's part to deceive the public at large.

| Re: VOIPo Interesting situation.
At least in the case of VOIPGO.COM, that website name was apparently registered back in November 2004.
Wonder if any market research was done on the "VOIPo" name.
Of course, professional market research sometimes backfires. Examples include Idearc (Yellow Page publisher), Yutopar (a medicine brand name so bad that the generic name Ritodrine is actually better), Fifth Third Bank (huh?), and so forth. It will be interesting to see how the VOIPo name performs when they are done with beta. | |

Looks like a GI scope to me.
