					<description><![CDATA[It takes a lot to get us excited about a cellular offering these days. One feature that always gets our attention is a plan that offers unlimited texting and unlimited data within the U.S. plus unlimited calling to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. So we&#8217;re excited to introduce Visible, Verizon&#8217;s very own MVNO. A few disclaimers are in order before we get into the specifics. First, as with all MVNO&#8217;s, your usage is subject to throttling in high usage areas.&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/verizon-5g-service-for-25-month-with-unlimited-everything/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are fast approaching the 18 month anniversary since the mass exodus of talent from Sangoma and Digium. During that time, Asterisk&#174; and FreePBX&#174; have languished in limbo with FreePBX commercial modules mired in discontinued encryption methods and the Asterisk and FreePBX feature set frozen. Sangoma&#8217;s acquisition of Digium gave the company a well-respected business phone system in Switchvox&#174; while relegating FreePBX deployments with commercial modules to second-class citizen status. Now Sangoma has a difficult and expensive decision to make.&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/frozen-in-time-sangoma-at-a-crossroads-or-the-cliff/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the single most important component in the VoIP toolbox for any PBX deployment that includes traveling users is the softphone whether it&#8217;s deployed on notebook computers or smartphones. We&#8217;re kicking off football season with reviews of some of our favorite SIP softphones for mobile users. We&#8217;ve previously written about Linphone and Zoiper and Telephone. We&#8217;ve also sung the praises of earlier releases of Google&#8217;s Pixel smartphone which makes a perfect VoIP companion even without a cellphone provider.

Our approach is a little different. It&#8217;s about making smart choices based upon the specific requirements for you and your family. Let&#8217;s get the obvious criteria out of the way first.

If you&#8217;re only going as far as Mexico, Canada, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, then your existing cellular provider in the U.S. may have you covered at no additional cost. If your provider is not AT&#038;T, then check with your carrier.

					<description><![CDATA[Our technology reviews are a little different than the dozens of reviews you&#8217;ve probably already seen that read more like Apple press releases. First of all, we typically buy products to actually use. And second, we base our smartphone evaluations on real-world requirements rather than best case scenarios that you&#8217;re unlikely to ever experience in the real world. So we begin our review of the iPhone 6 with the simple question: "Can it make calls?" Funny as this sounds, it&#8217;s&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/the-disappointing-iphone-6-eight-generations-of-ios-and-bluetooth-still-sucks/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

Add to that the complications of getting one to work reliably with VoIP without spending another $50 a month on a Ma Bell vintage telephone line just adds insult to injury. So perhaps you can share our elation when an email arrived last week announcing Straight Talk&#8217;s new Remote Alert System, a $10/month cellular-based system that&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/the-poor-wise-mans-burglar-alarm-system-with-asterisk-under-10month/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

For those that travel or support small branch offices, this would be the best of all possible worlds. We never quite achieved it with PBX in a Flash, but thanks to the Raspberry Pi™, Grandstream&#8217;s new GXP2200, a couple of screws, and a power drill, we&#8217;ve found the perfect couple.
