VOIP Service Provider Selection
cracker:
I am trying to set up an Obi 100 to mimic my existing residential landline. I’m having difficulty selecting a VOIP service provider that will meet my requirements. It would be nice to have a single provider but I would settle for two. I need e911, inbound and outbound calling, failover, call waiting, call forwarding, caller id, and voice mail. I need to access voice mail and enable/disable call forwarding from the telephone; I don’t want to go to the web to enter a call forwarding number or to manage voice mail.
I’ve spent the last couple of months trying to get various combinations of GV and Anveo to work but I don’t think they are going to meet my needs. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think voip.ms is the answer. Voice mail was easy to set up and is easy to manage from the phone. Call forwarding works well with the OBi star codes. Call waiting works with the Obi star codes. I had my system set up and the desired features tested in about 2 hours compared with days trying to accomplish the same thing with Anveo. It may cost a few dollars more each month. The few questions I had were answered promptly by voip.ms chat sessions. All in all a good experience.
I should mention one problem I encountered when registering the voip.ms account in OBiTALK. I use Keepass as a password locker and found that I had to type the voip.ms password on the registration page. Dragging the password from the Keepass entry resulted in a registration error.

Has anyone attempted to use caller ID block either one time or persistent with voip.ms? Google Voice does not support this feature.

I just tried *67 (block one time) with my voip.ms/Obi and it shows up as "unknown caller". Without the *67 it shows up as my DID number or whatever number I put in my DID account info at voip.ms.
