Packet 8 now offers the kind of features a logical VoIP phone plan should and mirror the best of what AT&T CallVantage, Vonage, and Broadvoice, have to offer.

VOICEMAIL TO EMAIL NOTIFICATION
FOLLOW ME, FIND ME
SIMULTANEOUS RINGING ON MULTIPLE PHONE NUMBERS
7-DIGIT LOCAL DIALING
NETWORK UNAVAILABLE FORWARDING
CALL WAITING DISABLE *70 per call or all calls

Call me jaded and an early adopter, but for the first three, I’ve had that kind of feature with Webley (Now Communikate) since the 90s. As for the other three, they are needed and it’s nice to see Packet 8 catching up to Vonage, CallVantage and the rest in the way of features for the growing user base.

In my mind these are must have features and likely will stave off voluntary churn at P8 as users want applications, not just cost savings.
