Packet8 has on fire with announcements lately and the newest one talks about their business class features. Here are three new features the company will offer: Virtual Office VoIP-hosted PBX service – Virtual Extensions, Metered Extensions and Toll Free Local Number Portability (LNP).
With the Virtual Extension feature, businesses can customize any number of specific extensions to function as information-only mailboxes for items such as driving directions, special promotional offers and other customer service announcements. While Virtual Extensions are not associated with a physical Virtual Office telephone, they can be forwarded to remote numbers anywhere in the world for 3.9 cents per minute in the
Metered Extensions enable larger companies to take advantage of Packet8's Virtual Office solution by scaling down monthly phone charges for low call volume users without sacrificing PBX functionality. Employees using Metered Extensions receive 250 minutes of calling to the
Finally, businesses can now port existing toll free numbers over to their Virtual Office service for free and continue offering clients the ability to contact them at no charge regardless of their location inside the United States or the company's location worldwide. Packet8's Toll Free Service Plan includes 100 minutes of inbound toll-free calls for $4.95 then an industry low of 3.9 cents a minute thereafter. A one time $9.95 activation fee per Packet8 toll free number applies.
My take is, FINALLY! Let’s stop focusing on price. It’s all about the services… he ones you can’t get over the PSTN. Sell the services first and tout the price last. That is the sure way to make it as a VoIP service provider.

Any idea how they are actually doing "selling through" these product?
I am not aware of how well these services are doing. As a public company I suppose the info may be disclosed soon.
I am very disappointed I can not send personal faxes via VoIP Residental Services.
They have improved a lot since then, but still, I do not know how many big companies need their services since they usually develop their own virtual offices and PA.
