vielen Dank für Ihre Email. Ihre Zugangsdaten zu dem Dienst sipgate sind grundsätzlich vertraulich zu behandeln und dürfen nicht an Dritte weitergegeben werden. Im Falle des von Ihnen genannten Angebotes, ist das fragliche Unternehmen zudem in der Vergangenheit durch unseriöse Geschäftspraktiken aufgefallen. Zum Schutze aller unserer Kunden sind wir daher bemüht, dem potenziellen Mißbrauch durch dieses Unternehmen vorzubeugen. ###### to give the gist of the supportemail: login details must not be given to 3rd parties. the provider mentioned above (note: voxalot is ment) attracted attention due to nonserious business practices. for our customers safety we try to remedy potential abuse through this corporation. ###### sad news ( |

It's worth noting there are 2 U.S. servers in a load balanced configuration, so it is possible one is blocked and not the other.

Edit: I am curious if they consistently enforce this business rule. For example, are they blocking fring.com as well? I would be surprised if that was the case...... Edit2: Obviously they don't fring Forums - Questions, Answer, Comments and News I would be interested to know if this is an across the board "security rule" or if simply Voxalot was "singled out".....

Sounds very interesting
There seems to be an entire story between Voxalot and Sipgate. Yet it's material enough for a blog post.
In fact it's enough for an entire article which deals with the problem in general: With every time more services moving into the internet people have to provide every time more secret login data to 3rd parties. It's not only Voxalot. It's also PBXes.com, simplyConnect, Fring, Barablu, Nimbuzz, Talkster, Mobivox, Iskoot, Skip2PBX, ... Dozens of companies have to deal with this problem. There has to be a more intelligent solution than just blocking Voxalot. What's missing is a secure way to share login data. It reminds me of my post in april, "Theoretically Voxalot could steal all our VoIP minutes" (http://forum.voxalot.com/voxalot-sup...-minutes.html). |

I agree, and there is a framework that supports this concept:
OpenID: an actually distributed identity system I would be very surprised if sipgate was also blocking: Quote:

Not at all Tom. I don't think the issue is trust I rather suspect the issue is "least cost routing".
