What is this new Vestalink (obivoice) service provider?

If you check out their suggestion page the SMS question has a tag on it "planning". Not a big deal to me but I would use it to contact my siblings across the state.

Has anyone got the outbound CID Spoofing to work? I have tried several times to verify my number but every attempt fails with my trial account.
It is working for me. make sure you entered the correct number. It should verify by calling you and asking for a two digit code.

I just forward my GV number to this number. This will still work after the change. This way you get texts and messages in you mail box just as before.
I like the quality much better than GV. I am also testing Callcentric. From them you can get a free inbound line. I have not tried the outbound except to other Callcentric numbers. It is very good quality and the setup is almost fool proof. So easy just need to remember the phone number and the password. I am testing now with two systems and four lines. Not sure what I will choose yet. Almost done with my free trial minutes on obivoice without any problems. I registered the number on both systems. Callcentric allows me to have unrestricted extensions on one account. This might tilt the vote for me. Perhaps I will use both :)

The web portal was giving me the wrong code to enter. I contacted Ryan and he got back with me once but it didn't get fixed. He set the system up so that I would hear the code I entered read back to me. Even though the system was reading back the same number that was on the screen it still would not activate even with multiple attempts. He didn't get back with me after that. I believe that in some circumstances the system gets knocked out of sync when a verification attempt fails. I suspect that is why Ovivoice has the reset button in the "Spoof Outbound Caller ID" panel now. I was able to activate it by using a brute force strategy. Hopefully this bug is fixed.

SunRocket
SunRocket was founded in 2004 by some MCI executives that decided they wanted to compete directly with Vonage, CallVantage, Verizon VoiceWing -- all the big dogs in residential VoIP phone service.
And SunRocket was competing. SunRocket had 200,000 customers in 2007, in large part due to their exceptional promotional offer: 2 years of service for $199!
There were minor murmurs and tremors, though, signs that something was wrong: SunRocket affiliates stopped getting paid. Staff started getting laid off, here and there. Then the sales department went.
And then the service cut out.
SunRocket greeted all callers with a helpful message: “We are no longer taking customer support or sales calls. Goodbye.”
Note: You can no longer hear this message in all its glory. Someone else bought the number.
And that was it for communication. Most customers only found out about SunRocket’s demise when they picked up the phone - and heard nothing on the line.
SunRocket … disappointed its customers. SunRocket's collapse also caused a wave of damage to the VoIP industry: 200,000 angry subscribers poured into the subscriber market.
Some switched back to cable and traditional PSTN providers, swearing off VoIP for life. Some subscribers inundated other VoIP providers and caused service overloads. Most lost money - some lost lots of money.
SunRocket’s meltdown is the nadir of VoIP collapses. 200,000 households shoved into the cold.
