What happened?

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we can no longer offer this service.

What is next?

More tools for testing and monitoring, and who knows what else? ;-)

How do I de-activate it?

  2. Go to the Devices tab
  3. Look for the Silent Echo device
  4. Click on the "..." button to the left of the device
  5. Select "Deregister" and then click the "Deregister" button
