It would be less of a big deal if more people had DID that could be repointed to a SIP Broker alias or a Voxalot address, but clearly many people use DIDs that are 'tied' to an outbound calling account as well and so find it hard to use Voxalot with their current setups.
Voxalot is certainly compelling, with its open SIP peering, free voice mail, and built ENUM and toll-free calling. But problems remain, like the question of latency between North America and Australia if the VOIP stream is not handed off immediately after setup negotiation directly between myself and the PSTN interconnect I am using, and then there is the whole major problem of three-way calls being presently unavailable for most users. Still, in my opinion, Voxalot has already exceeded FWD in value, and things can only look brighter as more features are rolled out and the bugs are fixed.
