    **This is a BETA service **

    Tuesday June 10th, Signed up.

    First of all, about my ratings:

    1. Their web site isn't as slick as Callcentric, but it's not the worst I have used. It does give reports on calls made, invoices, etc. So I gave them an average rating on that.

    2. Call quality - Excellent. Just as good as Callcentric, with both calls to Canada & the UK.

    3. Reliability - No problems so far. Seems good.

    I found Future-nine right here on DSLR. They looked like they offered an interesting product. Similar to Callcentric: PAYG & BYOD, but with calls charged, on average, about 50% cheaper than Callcentric - Approximately 1 cent per minute outgoing to Canada & USA &, I believe, 1 cent a minute Internationally to UK landlines, specifically - Other international rates vary.

    If you elect for the PAYG account & buy a DID, you get 3000 minutes incoming a month (According to their web site) - So you are really only paying for outgoing - This is far superior to Callcentric.

    Setup was easy enough using my PAP2. They have various payment methods: Google checkout & Paypal were two I noticed. They charged my account by $15 - Minimum payment using Paypal.

    There is no setup fee for the PAYG account - Don't know if that will change as they move to finished product. Canadian DID price: $5 for my area code plus $2 set up fee.

    If you enjoy tinkering with VOIP, by all means sign up & give them a shot. You could save $$$'s on your existing service.

    Overall a fantastic service, great call quality, brilliant tech support. I am very happy to have signed up with future-nine.

    Emergency 911 service absent

    You must be aware that Future Nine is currently in a violation of FCC's 2005 May and November mandates requiring ALL domestic VOIP providers to [obligatory, with NO OPT OUT] deliver emergency 911 service to all US based interconnected customers. FCC clearly defines a qualification of the term "interconnected" - any subscriber who is able to send or receive calls to/from Public Telephone Network.

    »www.fcc.gov/pshs/services/911-se···ome.html

    There is also a special Task Force (read about in the above provided link) whose the only assignment is to enforce the above regulation.

    Below is a link to a list of FCC compliant providers:

    Re: Emergency 911 service absent

    We are currently in a Beta stage, and as such all users are REQUIRED to have other means of contacting emergency services. We are not a replacement for land line service, and if you need the reliability of a land line I highly encourage you to stay away from Voice over IP. Emergency services over VoIP will never be as reliable as POTS regardless of what the FCC says - there is simply too many factors that can go wrong.

    Once we launch into production (and probably long before then) we will offer E911. We have the contract in place and working on implementing it.

    Having said that- even after we implement E911, I would still recommend all our users to keep other means of contacting 911 available. It is enough for an attacker to shut off the power to your house to prevent VoIP-based 911 calls from going through no matter how well we implement it on our side.

    For your safety, and my peace of mind - please keep other means to call 911 handy!

    You must not be aware that I am in Canada. The FCC has no jurisdiction here.
    I clearly stated that I am in Canada.
