looking to jump off Vestalink...price is too damn high
et_phone_home:
I am using GV as primary. The Simonics idea sounds good. Do you use this service? How's reliability?
Does Anveo offer e911 without signing up for a number, etc?

Any suggestions appreciated.
If you are using your Google Voice number as your primary number you may wish to look at the Simonics GV gateway. It is a SIP gateway that connects to your Google Voice account for all incoming/outgoing calls and includes CNAM for a one-time fee of $5.99. Assuming you have an open SP slot you could use Anveo for E911 at .80/month. (If using the Simonics GV gateway you wouldn't need GV configured on your OBi)

For a drop-in replacement of Vestalink that has all your requirements check out the PhonePower OBi Unlimited plan for $60/year.

$70 a year unlimited, 911 and the other stuff, VL seems cheap. Anybody cheaper?
after doing some number crunching, you're correct...VL is not bad. Pricing is competitive with the rest.
I guess I'm a cheap mofo.

Yes, I use the Simonics gateway. It has been very reliable. It's also pretty versatile. I actually forward my calls from the Simonics gateway via SIP URI to my VoIP.ms account so I can use the additional features that VoIP.ms offers. Since I don't register directly to Simonics I configured it as a Voice Gateway for outgoing calls. But you can also just register directly to the Simonics GV gateway from your OBi.
Yes, Anveo offers straight E911 without getting a DID number/plan. But I think to get the .80/month price you have to sign up directly at Anveo and not through the Obihai web portal.
There's also gv911.com which I have no personal experience with.

If you were a cheap mofo you would using GV like me for free and using Anveo for E911. Before you move check to be sure you can port out. I was not able to when I left them and wanted to try another service. I gave up a GV number I had had from its inception. Some of use Callcentric with a free number to forward GV calls to for CNAM. You can find threads in the forum.

Fantastic. The main reason I signed up with VestaLink was because of Cnam, but the Simonics service sounds great to me. Once my promo period ends with VL, I'll be switching for sure.
Thanks again for your help, Taoman.
