"Quality, reliability, support, easy setup, free 800 out, fax works, Asterisk/BYOD, great price/plans"
"limited DID availability in beta"
"Beta - If this service level continues F9 will be my primary provider"

Started F9 on a beta test. Very responsive - personalized setup on member portal. I copied and pasted info into Asterisk, changed context, reloaded and outbound worked. Quality is as good or better than any I've tried. I couldn't get both outgoing and incoming working at the same time. Exchanged several support tickets and had a fix in about 16 hours.

| FN calls I just opened my account tonight to try. made some calls to local and cell-phones. not bad.
anyone tried to porting an existing number? If I decide to use it, Yearly Plan is my choice. I prefer to keep my existing number. 3000min/month is plenty I actually don't need that much.
why the reviewer are not many? I want to read more reviews prior to porting. | |

| Re: FN calls anyone knows FN's support phone number? hmm, it's a phone service business but no support number? I sent emails this Sunday. waiting for response yet. called my others FN friends, they even not started yet. couldn't help any except giving me FN email, which I have known. sounds a quite new company.
I don't have DID yet (waiting to porting my existing number). Therefore I couldn't call my new FN phone, however I listened (remote) my voice messages made by FN, very clear. I will let my family call me office Monday and re-confirm the FN call quality. My experience, echo is a main VOIP issue, in viewpoint of call quality. I am using verizon FIOS, enough bandwidth. | |

| Touch-tone phone? Ok, a new problem. seems the FN service is NOT a real touch-tone phone service. every time I use to it to input my credit card# or phone#, the receiving party always complains and "input not correct", or "not responding correctly". It's a pain to me. if touch-tone not working, I have to talk to operator, the waiting for an operator is very long. but I have to wait since the input couldn't be recognized.
anyone experienced this problem? and what's your solution, or settings?
TIA. | |
