Global Provider Index

How are you going to deal with the same providers being used in different countries? For example, VoipDiscount already appears in the Aussie section but is actually a German provider (Betamax). On the same note, someone searching for a UK provider would want to know about VoipCheap but wouldn't necessarily find it if only listed in the Germany section. Are multiple listings allowed?

But anyone might apply to any provider in the world. I set up a Brazilian account, and some people here were looking at a Portuguese one.

Your right VoIP providers can be used in any country however most of them do have a country where they are based.

We don't really want providers listed multiple times for each country so we ask people to use their better judgment.

Likewise settings like "SIP Proxy" may also have more than one setting. As these settings will later be used by members adding Voxalot providers, we ask people to enter generic settings where they can.

Hi all,

Please take the time to add and/or rank providers within the GPI or add your comments as it will really help the community.

We just fixed a few minor problems relating to IE. Thanks for the feedback so far.

I love the idea of sharing this kind of information.

Is there any way that people could show this on their site (a script or something). I would love to show the development in the Danish providers.

Then I (and all others that would use it) could advertise this fantastic database, and you could get more ratings (and members )

Hi Thomas,

Not sure what you would like to show on the site, can you be more specific?

I'll try
I'm thinking about the ratings, it would be cool to be able to show then on a site, so that if they get updated here, they will get updated on all sites that has the script, image or whatever. (look how EditGrid does Real-Time updated spreadsheet graphs.)

The output should be something like the one we are seeing for instance when filtering for danish providers (see image VoIP Denmark). And in a perfect world, we would be able to see the specific VoIP-provider details also (See image Musimi)

Of course this is giving away a lot of good database knowledge, but this way Voxalot would be present on a bunch of very relevant sites concerning VoIP. Then you could have an option to contribute to the ratings, and sign-up for Voxalot.
