Thanks for that comment. This is true of one of the VSPs in Australia,
not of their making though, it is just incompatibility. The Oz forums
are creating a lot of fuss over this and the VSP has agreed to solve
the incompatibility. So many people simply said that they wouldn't use
any VSP that didn't work on Voxalot - people see it as that important.
I would have opened an account with VoipCheap because, later this
year, I would use it for mobile calls, but I won't be doing that
because operation with Voxalot is essential for me.
If users here adopted the same attitudes, as in Australia, then
Betamax would have to sit up and listen. It is going to take a lot of
emails and a lot of negative comments on the forums AND a willingness
to leave the service if they don't offer the service people want.
In the UK people just seem to accept high prices and poor service. It
is no wonder that we pay a premium on so many things in this country,
particularly when compared to the U.S., but also Europe.
Betamax probably are wallowing in under the illusion that they offer
the cheapest services all round. Well there are other companies if you
look around, particularly for international calls. I detest companies
that operate 'lock ins', 'walled gardens' and other competitor
stifling operations and I just won't use them.
