What is this new Vestalink (obivoice) service provider?

You can just configure it on SP2. After that to test outbound calling dial **2 and the number you want to call.

If your business is just half way serious and quarter way profitable, i would not for a second consider junk like Magic Jack. BTW MJ charges all kinds of junk fees on the top of the advertised price which have not been mentioned here. Also, they do not connect for free to very many US phone numbers.
For a real business I would go with a real quality VOIP provider like Callcentric.
BTW if you do not want to depend on internet cell phones are pretty good, at least in metro areas.
MJ definitely IS junk. They even sent out an email after my friend gave me the MJ+ saying that they NOW had a better chip and to pay $30 to upgrade AND service for 6 months was included.
That's not the problem... I have never had good service with them UNLESS I was using a cable modem. DSL and lower (wireless dongle) doesn't work well... static, and codec problems on both ends, eg. no sound and then a quick sped up donald-duck like few secs until it caught up LOL.
As far as unlimited, HA!! Everybody who has EVER used MJ knows that they cut you off after 10 minutes and then when you TRY and call back you get a message "all circuits are busy now, please try you call again later!". We all know that all circuits aren't busy!
As far as junk fees, fees are only paid once per year or once per 5 years and there are no additional fees. I have never had trouble connecting to anybody.
The Straight Talk Home Phone device IS technically a cell phone for $15/mo and the carrier is Verizon wireless. Why ALL of their (VZ) services start out at $35 is beyond me, but perhaps they saw the light and went in with Straight Talk (TracFone) on this for hidden reasons yet to be unveiled.
While we've been able to talk on ST for over an hour without interruption to a few close friends we hadn't talked to in years, there are times when the voice quality dropped to what sounded like an mp3 file with a bit rate of <32 and it garbled a little.
I will be testing out the device some more soon.
Thank you for your reply... I received my OBi110.
The OBi110 is set up to block anonymous calls right out of the box ;) but I still have to figure out the * code to bypass the OBi110 to be able to place outbound calls from my landline connected phone.

Hitting # puts you directly to the PSTN (landline) dial tone bypassing the Obi.

FWIW, they don't support SMS text messages, that's a real non-starter for my wife. :P

If they did SMS I might have switched and paid the whole 2 years in advance. The interesting thing is they appear to have been toying with the idea. The proxy is sms.intelafone.com. They appear to be using Amazon AWS.
