Is there a Forwarding Alternative to VoiceStick

[bbob]

I use pbxes.com, there is a free version. You can register did numbers from any did provider. Than use betamax clone to forward to your mobile.

did number I have from les.net $4 per month and many area codes to choose from.
for other countries you can get a free number, like sipgate.de sipgate.co.uk for a german or english number.

pbxes can also forward to a voip phone. So you can forward the call to your mobile but can also have it ring on a voip phone. Works nice when you have a wifi phone and wifi access.

There are other services around offering forwarding service, i am just a pbxes.com fan because it offers many features.

Snidely,

Is voicestick (myGlobaltalk) no longer working for you? I think thay started charging a $2.99/month or so, right? What about les.net. Call rates may be a little higher than voicestick, but they only charge $1/month for the DID. I have a les.net account. I only add a DID when I am about to travel and will need one. Then I remove the DID when I return. So, the monthly DID fee is prorated just for the tiem that I use it.

I have myGlobalTalk too, but there is still a problem that they charge for all calls connected or not. Even a totally invalid number! So, I just use les.net. The voicestick folks are aware of it and they working on it.

Here is a quote from one of their techs in another forum:

"This is something we're working on actually. Our switch doesn't currently detect when the line is answered, so we start billing after ~30 seconds. If you're billed for calls that don't connect, give us a call or email us through the Contact link on our webpage and we'll credit it back to your account
