Call Forwarding

1.83 v. 0. Quite a difference. In Kuwait, it was $1.50 a minute for incoming on one provider v. $7.40 a minute on the other.

The company has good rates, but some screwy business practices. Their rates also move around quite a bit.

Also, in the last couple of days, some Finarea companies have discontinued the call forwarding that they so recently promoted. A friend on another forum said this about Voipdiscount, and confirmed that it disappeared on download of a new version of the client program.

I have [unfunded yet] Voipdiscount and Voipcheap.com (voipcheap.co.uk is a sister company) accounts, and have sent Voipcheap an enquiry about this, but we know what they are like for replying to emails on out of the ordinary subjects. It is certainly fairly disappointing to lose this so fast, but luckily before I actually chucked a few quid at it. Perhaps it will be back, or perhaps it fell foul of fair use issues

Finerra has some good prices, but I don't trust the company at all. They change the rules all the time and it is very disconcerting. I am close to writing them off even though they are a good deal.

Apologies: this may have been a mistake.

I posted about it elsewhere, and someone has pointed out that the call forwarding is still there, no longer on the front panel, but via Call Settings on the settings tab. I've downloaded latest client versions and this seems to be true

I'm glad that I am wrong about them on this.
