I have been using voip.ms since 2015 for my phone service. Multiple numbers (DIDs) pointing to an IVR where callers must press 1 to connect to me (totally avoids robocalls). Plus voicemail (transcribed and emailed to me).

One issue with voip on mobile (iOS in my case) is that I would often miss calls due to late push notifications and timing out. So recently I set up a calling queue that rings/pushes my phone a few times instead of just once (queue timeout to 30 seconds before hitting voicemail).

Basically, if you want the control FreeSwitch and Asterisk offer but don't want to self-host, voip.ms is the best way to go.

What app do you use on iOS with voip.ms?
Bria ($1/mo subscription). Works as well as a voip client could work on iOS.
