VoIP.ms Reviews and Plans

Voip.ms was established in Montreal, QC in 2007.VoIP.ms specializes in providing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and chose as you go/tiered pricing type of telecommunications solutions. Generally speaking VoIP.ms audience and target market are a technically savvy one.

There is a great array of options and flexibility on configuring the services offered by Voip.ms, from the features that would be present, such as Caller ID, to the call routing itself. For the non-technical person, it could be overwhelming; for those technically savvy it could represent a good alternative and may as well save some money. Voip.ms does offer the ability to acquire International DIDs; which as usual have to be paid monthly. These could then be set up to ring (forward) to some other Canadian number.

The International calling rates on Voip.ms are typically good but for example, if you are using a Long Distance provider such as Rebtel you could save some more. For example, for calls to India New Delhi the typical rate at Voip.ms is $0.0214 and at Rebtel is $0.015 Thus you can see how could you save if you do use for international calls. In VoIP.ms Terms of Service offer enlighting advice to have a backup line in case their service does not deliver,  oddly worded the quality of service is noted "as-is".  The twitter feed of VoIP.ms does give an indication of the frequency and duration of which their services are impacted.

In any event, a similar type of Build Your Own VoIP service is Call Centric (named Best BYOD of 2015) Call Centric's website we found it to be less rustic with a more intuitive user interface, smoother navigation and while all Terms of service have the usual legal language, Call Centric's Terms are less bitter, user-friendlier if you will. 

For those looking for a BYOD solution, but not having to go through the raw and complexities of figuring out call routing and choosing individual features may also find in Phone Power is an alternative.

Regrettably, for all the legendary status VoIP.ms can be associated with, there is a darker side to it. Where bad business attitudes and despicable practices mix. Combined with lack of social skills and cockiness make a toxic cocktail. As shown in this thread in DSLReports. VoIP.ms staff initiated a clear attempt of vilification against GoneVoIP. That campaign happened simultaneously via Facebook, with beyond pejorative and certainly abusive comments on GoneVoIP's Facebook page - which we had them removed. 

We @gonevoip believe in diversity, making comparisons and choices for all and anyone, regardless of technical skill levels, and certainly, like our very freedom of speech. Ultimately you, the consumer shall determine and weigh what the DSLReports thread in question says about VoIP.ms, their ethic and if it is someone you want to do business and deal with.
