Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice
DrewMan:
When I asked Obi Support for some advice on how to configure this post 5/14... this is the response I got. Wonder what they are working on.
"For the time being, there is no need to rush to sign up for a SIP account.
Obihai is working on providing an easy migration path that would let you continue using Google Voice service.
Please wait for further message/announcement from us in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, your OBi continues to work with GV as it is now.
Regards,
Obihai Technology"

I've given up on GV. I just got an account with Voipo. $185 for the first 2 years, unlimited calling in NAM and 1 hour / month calling to specific countries. Customer service is great! I just put in an app to transfer my Vonage home line to them as well.
I can also use my Obi100 with them as well if I want so it won't go to waste...
Even after the price goes up in 2 years to approx. $15/month it's still a great deal for everything I get. WAY more features than GV in my opinion.
After looking at all the obi options, I'm agreeing with you. A great deal!
Does anyone know if Voipo still allows Caller ID spoofing? I'd like to use Google Voice's voicemail and number, and I see Voipo was testing a service where, after confirmed, you could change the caller id number on outgoing calls.
Ansextra:
I could be mistaken but I don't believe you can change the outgoing number as it defaults to phone number/City-State just like GV. BUT...you CAN request your name to show up. I was thinking about porting my GV number and then just decided that I'll just wait until my name shows up on outgoing caller ID and tell people I've changed numbers. I've also requested SMS be added to my VOIPo line so I'll see how that works as well. I'm hoping I can text from Csipsimple on my Android phone once the functionality is added. Then I'll have everything I need.

Obihai made a blog post about a year ago touting WebRTC as the "next big thing in cloud communications", and saying their engineers had been working to enhance the existing firmware for WebRTC compatibility. Google has also announced that Hangouts would work with WebRTC "real soon now". It seems like there may be a convergence in plans and schedules (or not, schedules are everything). A number of the open source pbx solutions have WebRTC modules, and they too would like like to be able to use WebRTC to continue to work with GV/Hangouts.
