1. PhoneGnome is Open and Interoperable
   We go out of our way to be that way. Open SIP credentials. SIP Calling. ENUM support. ITAD/ISN support. VoIP peering. Nobody does as much to support open standards as we do.
2. We are not a competitor to Vonage (et al), Cable phone service or any of the other VoIP-based “home phone replacement” services
   PhoneGnome works with any of these services. We add things those services don’t have, like free calls (the real kind of “free” where there are no monthly fees and no money is exhanged) , SIP Calling, choices in service provider for call termination, remote access, etc.
3. If you don’t like it, re-write it
   If you don’t like how PhoneGnome operates, or you want to add a feature or function, use our APIs to build whatever you want. We give many layers of APIs, from easy WEB 2.0 XML-RPC APIs to deep SIP-based APIs.
4. You choose the services from the providers you want
   With typical broadband VoIP “replacement” services, you’re stuck with the plans and features that single provider offers. With PhoneGnome, you can choose services and features from any service provider you wish. With the others, switching VoIP providers means a several month process of early termination fees and number transer headaches. With PhoneGnome, it is literally a few clicks and 5 minutes or less to change to your VoIP calling service provider. You can change every day, even many times a day, if that kind of thing turns you on.
5. We’re not trying to rip people off by charging too much for an ATA
   We aren’t going to get rich selling PhoneGnome boxes. Buy your own ATA from whereever you want if you think we charge too much. Our business model is to offer quality value-added services, mostly produced by third-parties with specialized experitise, at a fair price, and earn a small share of that revenue (with our partner taking the lion’s share of the revenue).
