Obivoice (Intelafone) vs. Forthcoming Obihai Service?
gderf:
This is from the CallWithUs site:
"Toll free service: if you need to terminate calls to US toll free numbers, send SIP calls to tf.callwithus.com, accepted area codes are 1800, 1888, 1877, 1866, 1855 and 1844, codec G711u. You don't need to have an account with us to terminate calls to TF numbers."
Looks like it includes AC 888 to me.

So, FYI to all---I asked ObiVoice what they considered business usage---they said about 5 hours or more per day would be considered business usage.
I am on the phone more than that, some days--so this won't work for me. At least not as a primary line.

Sounds like a viable option if you don't make certain international calls. Some international call prices are quite high. I'd have to keep my prepaid long distance service I used before GV.
Localphone is a good option for international calls. Low rates and prepaid credit lasts forever as long as you use the credit at least once every 365 days. No monthly fees for basic service. Caller ID spoofing for verified numbers. The Obi can be set up to use Localphone or another similar service for only the outgoing calls to certain destinations if you like. No extra dialing needed.

I don't think I will ever use the phone more than 5 hrs a day because I don't have a job that requires using the phone most of the time and I don't have a big family that shares the same phone line. But that converts to 9000 mins a month as normal usage and that sounds about right.

What I like about Obivoice right now is they are watching these forums and trying to accommodate us. Unfortunately this thread is one sided since ObiHai isn't giving us anything to compare yet. Come on ObiHai give us something!

I went whole hog, signed up for the 2 year unlimited plan, and ported my number to Obivoice.
Give us an update in a month or so.
I've contacted Obivoice twice now & they've been very polite & informative. I got this, this am.
P.S. The help on these forums is fenominal, but you wizards, please remember that not all of us are familiar yet with the voip terminology; I did dwnl a glossary. Many thanks for all the info.

Colleen,
You can have our service at the same time as Century Link home phone service. Unfortunately we do not recommend use of our service with Satellite or Wireless service as we cannot guarantee quality VoIP service with that sort of internet connection.
Our service would work with a cordless phone system. As long as you plug in the main phone line with the adapter the rest of the phones will receive the calls wirelessly.
