Greetings to all, need some direction
reststop:
Hello and good New Year to all. I am new to this phone stuff but am hoping to replace my expensive landline with something less costly. I am in the process of acquiring an OBI110 so that I can ease into it. I have been reading this forum and learning fast but would like to find a good source for learning the basics such as definitons, acronyms, etc. Any of you guys have a favorite site or video that would help? Thanks for replies.

Me too, needing useful tips. I'm totally new to this & have been researching for about 10 days. I've ordered the obi200 & got the list of servers down to CallCentric & voip.ms
I'm leaning toward voip.ms & wonder if you can give me any tips. I'm near seattle wa, where they have a satellite. Right now I have Century Link, want to port my number & have caller id etc. I have phones all over the house & want them all to ring as I'm somewhat disabled & it takes me time to get to the phone.
Re needing glossary, google voip glossary."

Helped me a bunch. And then there were the hours of complete frustration searching this board....but hopefully you are smarter than me :P

I ported two numbers to voip.ms. I could not be more pleased. Their port team, website and live chat are great no frustration.
Good Luck!

I'll second what MurrayB wrote.
I have ported three numbers to Voip.ms and also purchased three numbers from them. Not a single problem. I like the fact that you can see the number before buying it. At callcentric and some of the other places, you just get assigned a number in your requested area. Anveo and Localphone I believe are that way too.
I don't think you can go wrong with either Voip.ms or Callcentric. Both have their pros and cons but both are top notch providers.
In my case, Voip.ms is somewhat cheaper since I have 6 DID's.
They charge $0.99/mo. for a DID and Callcentric charges $1.95/mo. So, if you have multiple DID's, Voip.ms would be somewhat cheaper in that regard.
I believe both are currently offering free porting. Usual porting price at Callcentric is $25.00 and at Voip.ms it is usually $10.00. These prices are for U.S. ports.
I like Callcentric's web site the most. It is really simple to understand and everything important seems to be on your dashboard. Real clean.
I have accounts at both places and can't complain about either one.
Good luck with your decision.....
