I haven't used the Apple versions but I hear the Hangout app for the Ipad is better then the Android version. I heard the Ipad version can place and receive calls directly on the Ipad and will even after the XMPP shutoff. The Google Voice app should continue to work as well but does not have that feature to my knowledge unless you do some tweaking.
Thanks giqcass. I don't believe Hangouts in its current form can retreive voicemail so I'll stick with the Google Voice app for now. Your right about disabling the ITSP's voicemail so that should work. Given all the services out there, there must be an ITSP that provides a similar or better app than Google Voice for their clients.

I don't know of anyone that quite matches what Google Voice does. There are services with similar features. I just don't know of any with all of them. Most of the feature rich ITSPs either lack good software that integrates with their service or they have excellent software without ATA support.

It occurs to me that if we sign up for the upcoming collaboration Obihai is working on we might be supporting them, which seems like a good idea. ;)

Amen! I needed E911 and the Obiha/Anveo collaboration made it easy enough for a caveman to set up. Hopefully Obihai is keeping an on these forums and will come up with a good solutiion. I want to support them and I love my 202.

I've had Anveo E911 on my OBi100 for a year, but it runs out tomorrow; Anveo sent out *NO* instructions on how to renew it so I finally had to call Anveo sales for details. (Like you, I'm not much on SIP setup.) Basically, they said their renewal would still be for a full year as THEY'RE not directly affected by the XMPP shutoff, even though nearly everyone using this particular plan *IS* affected. >:(
Luckily, there's an easy way to let it go: If you don't put any funds in your Anveo account (I never had any besides my original $15 for E911 a year ago), it won't renew. Oddly enough, that may also be my simplest option for the end of XMPP: Just unplug my OBi (and landlines) on May 15 and answer everything on my prepaid cellphone (unlimited voice & text + 2.5GB data), which GV has always rang along with my OBi. (I ported my old home number to GV via the double-port "T-Mobile" method, but with my old Tracfone, when I got my OBi.) I might still go for the OBi $39.99/year option (full service with no hidden costs like MJ, etc.), but it's coming a little too late to replace Anveo E911 for me. :(
