Voicestick/myglobaltalk rumored to be closing shop
 

This is just heads up for those that are have accounts with them. I have a myglobaltalk account that I sometimes use for forwarding to my international sim when I travel. However, as of yesterday, I can no longer log into the account. The same is being reported about voicestick.

[VoiceStick] Head's up. - dslreports.com

I was trying to login to print out a statement and couldn't get what I needed to port my number out. Ugh. It is not an important number, but it ends in 00 and would like to keep it.

Maybe another Sunrocket? Sign up page is blank.

That's why I will not sign up for any monthly or yearly plan so I can quit anytime. Right now I am okay with my voip service with Onesuite, it's prepaid so I will not lose any unused minutes.

Notice of discontinuation of service.
 

As mentioned in that thread above, they were going to pull the plug without any sort of notification. However, they had a change of mind and have now sent out a notice. This will at least give those that want to port out the opportunity.

RIP Voicestick. It was really handy for forwarding to prepaid SIMs when the incoming number was free. I've only used it on rare occasions since I switched to an outbound-only account.
