I've had 2 accounts with Future-Nine, my oldest is about a year old (not quite). I was drawn to Future-Nine by the charisma of Nitzan, who is a regular on the VOIP tech chat board.
To set up my account, a PAP2T was ordered from a large online store. I flashed it to the current firmware version, then had some minor set up issues, which Nitzan was very helpful about fixing.
Configuration of a PAP2T is a bit geekish, it is not for typical consumers. My understanding is consumers can now order a pre-configured PAP2T from Future-Nine and avoid any hassle setting up the ATA.
Initially, stability wasn't quite there. Future-Nine was always up 99% of the time. However when it would go down, it could take hours to get back up. Over time, stability has improved. Currently Future-Nine is about as stable as any other VOIP service from any other provider. This is a tribute to Nitzan and his determination to provide great service.
Future-Nine has 2 great plans for annual contracts with domestic (U.S. mostly) dialing. One provides for 3,000 outbound calling hours a month (I'm currently on that plan) for $135 per year the other provides for 200 outbound calling hours a month (I may move to that plan) for $75 per year.
If you don't want an annual or monthly plan, there is a pay as you go plan. There is no monthly cost for the plan, and outbound calls are 1 cent a minute for U.S. calls. Rates for other countries are available at the Future-Nine website.
Future-Nine also has great rates for overseas calling. Unfortunately I have absolutely no need to use this aspect of his service. However anyone who needs to call overseas may wish to check out the Future-Nine website.
During the past year, the Future-Nine website appearance and capability has greatly improved. When I started Future-Nine was still in an early part of its life as a beta service. It is nice to see how productive Future-Nine has spent the last year improving it.
Voice quality is very good. The only services which seem to be better are POTS, CDV and Ooma in my direct experience.
Future-Nine has been amazingly helpful and supportive allowing me to get what I needed out of its service. More so than any other VOIP company. I can highly recommend Future-Nine.
