PlusNet to launch Voip service

See:-

And

Not much use really you can only call other Plusnet customers

 

Plus there's no peering (*758?) so you can't even call plusnet
customers from outside.

OTOH it's probably great if you are a plusnet customer calling another
plusnet customer...

 

I wish isps would introduce a sip service, so as a customer, you could
register as sip:, then it would be much more simple
to call each other. The sad thing is it's stupidly easily to set up,
since these days most sip systems support a radius backend. I think the
only thing preventing it taking off is the migration of e164.arpa from
trial to production, and the system in place to manage it.

 

As I understand it they plan on doing exactly that.

Hi,

It is indeed. The initial launch of PlusTalk just allows calls between
PlusNet customers, the next phase though will include peering with other SIP
providers and we'll also be adding PSTN break in/out too.
