Company News

The past few weeks were nothing short of challenges for our team, customers and partners. Despite our efforts to always best serve you, our industry saw a sudden influx in cyberattacks and on Thursday, September 16th VoIP.ms was one of the prime targets. We mobilized our energy and dedicated all our resources to protecting our platform and infrastructure and minimizing any collateral damage from this unprecedented wave of attacks aimed at taking us down. Our team worked day and night to mitigate this attack until we fully restored our services. Now we can say that we came out from this crisis more resilient and stronger, both as a team and as a communication platform. 

Every day we are guided by the commitment to meet your communication needs without you realizing we are the solution provider behind the curtains, ensuring that all the communication features you need to operate seamlessly are in place. It doesn’t matter whether you are a reseller, a business or a residential customer, we aim to ensure everything runs smoothly for every one of you. Not only do we take pride in bringing you one of the highest-quality services available on the market, but we also take pride in doing that while providing you valuable savings, not overcharging you for the quality of service we deliver.

Throughout this event, we sincerely feel grateful that many of you have reached out and expressed your loyalty to our company and offered us support to contribute to weather this storm together. This is truly remarkable and a testament to the strong relationship established between us. 

I am aware that our average time to answer customer inquiries has been higher than what you expect from us, and we are working to bring this back to our well-known customer service standards. I am sincerely sorry for these unfortunate events and their impact on you and your business. 

Our commitment moving forward is to accelerate what we have already been doing, to continue to work on delivering you the best service quality and elevate your experience with VoIP.ms to new heights. 

Warmest regards,

Khan Chau 

Chief Executive Officer

We would like to notify you that we just released a new feature, Call Transcription.

This new feature will allow you to either automatically get a transcription of your call sent to your e-mail address, or manually request it through our portal as you see fit. This feature can be enabled at a rate of $0.05 per minute.

VoIP.ms offers you the full control on this feature, allowing you to set it at the main account level, sub-account level and DID number level. If you would like to enable it account-wide, head over to your customer portal, then go to "Main Menu", "Account Settings", “General” and head to the Call Transcription section. Set “Transcribe” to “Yes”, select the language your calls are most likely to be in, set a notification e-mail, hit both checkboxes in order to apply it to all sub-accounts and all DIDs, then simply apply the changes.

To leverage manual Call Transcription or for more granularity, check out our Wiki article right here.

Thank you for being a VoIP.ms customer and we hope you will enjoy this feature.

We would like to notify you that we just released a new function for the reseller portal, the ability to set a specific sub account as default.

This new functionality is useful for any customers of yours that have more than 1 sub account and that you wish to specify 1 sub account as default, thus to avoid any popups when they log into their account prompting them to choose which sub account they wish to see.

This can be done from your own end or even from the customer end!For more information on leveraging this feature, please view the following Wiki article right here.

As always, you can directly reach out to our support for more information via live chat or support ticket.

Thank you for being a VoIP.ms customer and we hope you will enjoy this feature.

We would like to notify you of the release of our Call Parking Feature in Open Beta.

To start leveraging this feature, head over to your customer portal, then to “DID Numbers” then under “Call Parking”. With the addition of this feature, you or your team will be able to create parking lots where you could for instance:

• Put your current call on hold and initiate a second, separate call to another party. This would allow you to switch back and forth between the two separate calls, or
• Put your current call on hold so you or anybody else can pick up the call from elsewhere, as long as the parking lot is known (e.g. #701).

We would like to notify you of the release of our Maximum Channel Capacity Failover Feature.

Some of you leverage VoIP.ms only for SIP Trunking with your PBX and do not wish to make use of our sub-accounts feature. Therefore, to allow you to have a better control of your call flow, you can now set a maximum channel capacity at the DID level.

For instance, you could have a hard limit of 25 inbound channels for a specific DID, but decide to put a failover to a voicemail as soon as the number of channels exceeds 10.

To start leveraging this feature, head over to your customer portal, “DID Numbers” then “Manage DID(s)”. Edit the DID of your choice, and click the “Failover” button at the top right of your screen. You will then see a new failover option called “Max. Capacity”. Simply click the “Enabled” checkbox, set the desired limit and select the failover destination. For more information, you may consult our Wiki article here.

Please note that while the default limit of inbound channels is set at 25 channels per DID, it can be raised upon request with no additional charges. To do so, please reach out to our support team through our live chat or through email at [email protected]. 

Thanks for being a VoIP.ms customer and we hope you will enjoy this new feature.
