Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice

You know, I don't think it has dawned on a lot of people that the implementation of WEBRTC has actually increased the utility of the Obi devices. As of now you can connect to your Obi's AA ànd bridge a call from any computer with a WEBRTC enabled browser with a mike and speakers from anywhere on the planet without need for a softphone , proxy or special hardware. That functionality has not existed until very recently. One would think that it can actually only get better - current implementations of the WEBRTC protocol allows people to establish a communication session by merely sending a hyperlink via email. Imagine how easily that would be incorporated into a sophisticated and flexible sip device like Obi which could easily bridge between the PSTN, our little subset techie sip world, GV and the rest of the world that just wants a device as simple to operate as a cell phone or web browser.
Don' t get me wrong, there are some Obi things that miff me (did you here me say OBION). But in the end, if anything, the possibilities are only gonna get better and I am sure Obihai will figure out a way to make it happen.

Their rate to China and India is (relatively) special, :-)
I used it to route my International calls.
P.S. More captchas are welcome.
They just barely beat localphone to those destinations for pay as you go. Localphone is less expensive if you purchase a plan to those places. I did find the VPN service an interesting extra but it's still not going make my top ten.
P.S. Sorry we thought you might be a robot. LOL!

Indeed. I hope they've taken security into consideration as well. No need for three-letter agencies to be listening in, nor scammers running up phone bills.

Are you talking about some Nice Sounding Acronyms? ::) For me at least, that's the lesser of my worries. I just don't have that exciting of a life. SIP can probably be broken easily with enough knowledge or horsepower. FWIW, I think WEBRTC uses certificates to establish authentication for sessions. I do not believe SIP goes to that extent.

I am looking for alternatives just like everyone else. I am looking for a used MagicJack to use with the GVMate software but in the meantime I am trying other options.
I just tried out voipcheap with GV and IPKALL. Steps I took:
1. I registered for voipcheap. and verified my Current GV phone # in the profile and set my number for caller ID spoof.
2. I registered for IPKALL with my voipcheap username. Got a free DID.
3. Went to my current GV account and entered the new DID for GV to send the calls to.
4. Went to Obi Dashboard and setup voipcheap on SP1 (replacing my current GV from SP1)(SP2 is still anveo E911).
To test I placed an outgoing call to a USA cell phone and it rang and connected showing the correct Caller ID which I chose in step #1.
I then tested incoming by calling the original GV # and it rang with Caller ID (number only) and connected.
Outgoing is not really free though. Must pay 10 Euro every 3 months, which allows free calls to all USA and many other places. The 10 Euro does not get spent unless you call a # which has a toll. But still need to add min 10 Euro every 3 months to keep making outgoing calls.
Incoming seems free up to 200 min max every 7 day period. I did a test incoming call of 5 min. Only fine print I found was the max 200 min in a 7 day period.
Does anyone have a history (good/bad?) with voipcheap? Are there any voip which offer free (even small amount ~50 min) outgoing?
