I love voip.ms. I particularly like these features
1. Forwarding: I can forward my calls when I am on vacation. No need to call anyone. I just do it online and works in a minute.
2. Ring group: This feature lets me forward my calls to my home phone, my cellphone or my work phone at the same time.
3. Filtering: This is by far the best feature. I am on no-call list, but I still get calls from my alma mater. I just block those numbers. I also had my neighbor (who has no phone whatsoever) giving out my number as his number. This continued even after he got a phone. I forward his calls that comes to my number to his cell phone.
4. subaccounts: You can manage many subaccounts. I have my home phone as one subaccount, another for my cell wifi phone, and etc. The calls between subaccounts are free.
5. If you are really cheap, you can use ipkall to get a free phone number to reduce your monthly bill by $1.50 or so, but why bother? My phone bill is like $5 a month.<br />
6. The webpage makes it easier for you go into business selling voip services.
I thought about getting ooma for my relatives, but I was horrified that ooma charges for the services I mentioned above. Voip.ms charges for<br />
maintaining a phone number (depends, but it is $0.99 or $1.50), calls that you receive or calls that you make (like a penny per minute), caller ID (less than a penny per number), and e911 service ($1.50). You do not have to have a phone number or 911 service. You can just pay a penny per minute to make outgoing calls. International rates are also very cheap.
CONS: it took me a while to figure out how to setup my ATA with sub account. It also took me a long time to learn where to find things on their webpage. It really is not a con because i much rather have all these features than not.
