Now that my Qwest phone service is finally activated, it's great. Call quality is fantastic! Reliability is pretty good - I've had one dropped call and that was talking to a cell phone, so I'm not sure who's fault that was. And now for the bad news: it took 3.5 weeks for my phone to be activated! Unbelievable, it's software, people! And I didn't even port a number over, I was assigned a number from Qwest. Honestly how hard is it to set up a new account? Luckily I hadn't cancelled my old voip service yet. Custer Service was fast and friendly, but can't really do anything about it other than to say "Phone activation can take up to 30 days." Oh, and 4 weeks after initial ordering I still can't set up my account online. Sure would like to do that... Bottom line, Qwest is offering a pretty great voip service for a fantastic price IMO. But you'll have to be patient and wait about a month for activation. Is it worth the wait?
We just began qwest one flex plan and have basically had problems the whole time. Most have been the typical startup problems, but the worst one is the poor voice quality. We get significant calls with only one way audio (meaning you can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear you or vice versa). Qwest at first seemed keen to fix this, but as of late is just giving the excuse that they cannot reproduce it well enough to fix it. Obviously this is a deal killer, as our 'C' suite is almost embarrassed to answer their phones for fear of it being an important client. I just don't think the Qwest techs know enough about this stuff to really get a system up and working...their debugging seems to be limited to just checking the router for any errors and they know nothing about the Cisco equipment. I would go with someone else.
If you are like me and have been with Unlimitel since the days of Stephan Monette, it's time to reconsider your options. Primus, who purchased Unlimitel 7 years, is no longer interested in your business. With two DID price increases in less than a year (up $4/mth to $7.95) and per minute rates up 50% (1.5¢ a minute), it's time to look at voip.ms like I did. So much more for less money and customer service to boot. The latter was inexistant following the Primus takeover. I ported my number from Unlimitel without a hitch before my renewal date. There are some reports about Unlimitel charging cards after you close your account, but since mine expired (and I didn't update it on their portal) I did not have that issue. Unlimitel did charge me a $5 porting fee which was deducted from my existing balance.
