Agreed, but I've had a few SIP incompatibility quirks with them since
day one. I can't get the built-in Windows Mobile 6 VoIP client to
register (since their registrar server and proxy server are different)
and now they don't even support their own MG3 ATA, which allowed the
cell bridge to work through hardware (free) and allowed your landline
phone to autoswitch between incoming POTS and VStick calls, and
select either for outgoing via the "*" key. The replacement ATA they
sent is a Bottom of the line Grandstream 286 which has neither
function.

Losing those two features makes any number of cheaper alternatives,
like OneSuite VoIP ($2.95/month, with free incoming) as good or better.
