Can anyone recommend a service that actually works with Obi and Google voice?
Michelle1x:
Hi - ever since the changes to GV about a year ago my vestalink service doesn't work correctly. Almost every other time I need to call out, it says "there is a problem with your google voice- please disassociate and associate" etc. Also the inbound calls rarely ring. Usually I get a VM in my inbox and I call those people back, sometimes without GV, just the vestalink number whatever that is.
I've about given up on this- I've paid for the next 2 mos and after that looking for other options. Any opinions? thx

Ummm...
Just use Google Voice? You may have signed up for Vestalink during the period when people were concerned about Google Voice support going away. That concern was resolved.

Michelle1x,
It appears that several people that signed up for Vestalink Service have come to suspect that the service is slowly disappearing. I have seen several post where people are moving or planning to move to other services. I noticed the same issue you are describing when Vestalink offered and I tried "Google Voice Integration" with Vestalink.
There are several good choices to replace Vestalink, including Google Voice or Google Voice alone or with an other VoIP service provider. Months ago, I ported out the DID number that I had ported into Vestalink.
I decided to use Google Voice along with voip.ms for our main incoming telephone service. On voip.ms I have one Flat Rate DID and a couple of "per minute" DID's. I use Google Voice for Outgoing calls. I also have a couple of Google Voice numbers that I use to Test (Play with voip) that I use with Simon Telephonics Google Voice Gateway, forwarding to voip.ms DID's via SIP URI's.
Using voip.ms for incoming calls and E911 along with a few CNAM lookup's cost me a few dollars each month but the service is dependable and well worth the cost. I also enjoy the many features on voip.ms that I can play around with at no additional cost.

I know I'm a one trick pony lately ;D but I can't find a thing wrong with my PhonePower service at 59.99 a year for unlimited. I have been using them for a couple of months and it has eliminated the bad taste Vestalink left in my mouth for premium VOIP service.

"Four out of five doctors recommend: Callcentric, Phonepower, or voip.ms."
