Simon Telephonics Google Voice Gateway info
SteveInWA:
Only Bill Simon can answer that, as it depends on his willingness to keep adding more server capacity on his own dime. Nowadays, servers are virtualized in the cloud, not running on some guy's PC in the basement, so it is pretty easy to dynamically adjust capacity to meet demand.

I guess my question should be how many calls the gateway can handle simultaneously without noticeable impact on GV call. I guess there must be a large number of Obi1x0 boxes that now start to have that "Backing off" issue....
Good question. Bill Simon uses DigitalCloud which allows easy scalability. He added a new proxy server 2 days ago and another one today, apparently.

I got hit with the 'backing off' error a couple of days ago. Thanks to SteveinWA's detailed instructions I decided to give Simon's GVGW a shot. I stubbed my toe once getting it going but now it is working fine. Might go with the OBI200 someday but for now I'm 'backing off'. 8) I see SteveinWA has hero status. I guess I would second that. Like someone else posted, I feed the phone output from the OBI100 into the house wiring (line 2). It is a two story house and we have phones everywhere. Not one problem, ever.

Having trouble and much frustration with PhonePower losing registration and confusing support and claims they are working a solution to losing the resync feature when they were an ASP.
I decided to delete PP from OBi for now and forward calls to my GV and ran across this thread. I've have of course heard of the Simonics gateway over the years, but never really looked into it. Although I have an OBi200 I signed up and set up as a generic following Steve's link to get CNAM.

Regarding the $6 onetime setup fee. I think that is very fair. In fact, I would be willing to pay the $6 fee next year about this time. And, every year thereafter that things keep working. That works out to 50 cents per month. Heck, I am paying 80 cents a month to Anveo for E911 support. Also, another $1 per month to Anveo for a phone number for fax and backup. My wife insists we need the fax although for the last year or so the only fax's we get are the ones we send to ourselves to make sure it is working. But, the backup did come in handy the last few days. I am legacy to Anveo but I pay them $1.80 per month for those two things.
So, I am wondering, Mr. Bill, if there is not a bit more of an opportunity. Not sure what is involved but I would be willing to pay $20 per year, or thereabouts, for clean fax support and E911 support and clean GVGW. Just my idle $.02.
