Obivoice (Intelafone) vs. Forthcoming Obihai Service?
ceg3:
I finished the trial and signed up for obivoice on a month to month basis to begin with. If I'm happy at the end of the first month I'll extended my subscription at least by the 6 month unlimited plan. It's definitely cheaper to sign up for a year at a time, by a lot. 7.99 a month or 39.99 a year. I'm now waiting for my number to port from GV. I decided that I can go back to using my cell carrier's voice mail, though I'm not really sure what to expect from GV after my number ports out. It might be that GV will still handle my cell voice mail, even with no actual GV number. I decided that my phone service might work better with GV out of the loop entirely, rather than continuing to spoof my outgoing caller ID.

Google Voice can be used for voicemail only with your cellphone. If Obivoice would add a forward after XX seconds option then Google Voice could be used for instead of Obivoice Voicemail as well. They seem very open to suggestions right now. Have you noticed the Obivoice price increases?

Yep, I'm on that thread. I was at first disappointed about the increase, but at least in my own case my rate will grandfathered. So far response to email and chat have been very good.

Just signed up for the free 60 minutes to test out Obivoice. Set up was easy and my forwarded GV number rings my ObV within 1 ring or less. Currently was using a free DID from CC, and the forwarded GV number would ring my Obihai after at least 2 rings. Some calls wouldn't even ring the Obihai and those calls would end up in GV voice mail. Seems like about 20%-40% of my incoming calls would not get sent to the free CC DID. So it seems for now, ObV is more reliable. Spoofing my GV number, and it shows up fine as the number in caller ID.
Same experience here. Everything seems to work fine on Obivoice with one exception - GV voicemail messages no longer create a stutter tone and message on my cordless phone as they did with CC even though the online GV logs show all the calls and messages. Is there a setting for Obivoice I am missing?

I imagine that you have changed your primary SP from Google Voice to ObiVoice. You may be able to make the stutter tone work temporarily but if you are using GV for Voicemail the stutter tones won't work after the XMPP cutoff. To make it work you will need to change your primary SP for your phone port back to Google Voice. You can change your outgoing dial plan so it uses Obivoice to place calls even though Google Voice is the primary SP.
