Request a Survey to Find a GV Replacement
bsdaiwa:
Now that Google is shutting down the ability to use GV on the OBi, and other devices, it would be nice to know which Internet phone service provider comes closest to duplicating the GV service. Perhaps OBi can assist us by putting up a survey allowing for users to vote for the best?
I think the first thing would be to list the current features that GV offers then put up the survey.
Here is what I have on my list:
• One number
• Ability to ring all my phones (Cell, Home, Office, etc.)
• Block unwanted caller
• Text messaging
• Voice mail transcription
• Personalized greeting
• SMS to email
• Share voicemails
• Screen callers
• Mobile app
• Conference calls
• Number porting
I know that GV offers free calling to USA, Canada and the Caribbean, and that includes a free inbound number but it would be wishful thinking to find a service that offers that. So, who offers the lowest cost to provide calling to those same areas and provides the same GV features?
What do you think, would you like to request the forum to run the survey?

Anveo offers every feature you are looking for (plus free fax receiving, e-mails to you as PDF, and also free voicemail to e-mail as audio attachment as well). They have the most insane/advanced auto attendant/voicemail system on the planet. Super easy to block callers (just pull up call list, click block, done). Until Dec 31st they'll port your phone number for free if you pre-pay a years worth of service ($2/mo = $24 for the year).
Monthly cost: $2
Includes: A new phone number (or porting of your existing one). $2 per additional number (any USA or Canadian number).
Unlimited incoming minutes.
Cheap long distance (half a penny per minute to all of Canada, a penny per minute to all of USA, average overseas rates, etc.).
2 lines/channels, can setup on up to 2 sip/ATA devices.
Voicemail, CallerID, etc. etc. etc. etc.

I like Anveo, but their SMS to email is only available with the plan that includes that and several other things for an extra $6.55 per month. They do offer SMS into an application they provide with the basic account. You also left out $0.80 per month for 911.
With the basic account you can still do a lot of non-basic features.

Who pays for 911 anymore? Just change your "country" to Afghanistan in your Anveo control panel and POOF, no 911, no 911 fee ;)
