Obivoice (Intelafone) vs. Forthcoming Obihai Service?
ceg3:
I'm actually in the process of porting over my GV number. It was delayed, and I wanted to experience a "true" Obivoice experience, so I deleted my forwarding to my Obivoice number from my GV account, leaving only my cell number to get calls to my GV number. I started out the way you did by spoofing the outgoing caller ID with my GV number. I understand it can take a couple of days for the caller ID info entered to propagate across all carriers.

Thanks for the tip. Previously I did the spoofing option which worked to show just my number. I tried this change but can't get the name to show. I have Obivoice showing as the primary line for outbound calls in Google Voice assuming it would bypass Google Voice if it limited caller id to number only. Are you using this option for outbound Obivoice calls without google voice involved? i.e. what I'm trying to do won't work.
In my testing Obivoice will not add your name to outgoing calls that spoof your Google Voice number. That feature is for numbers that are actually
1)Bought from Obivoice (this includes your free number)
2)Ported to Obivoice
You can have multiple numbers on ObiVoice but Obivoice does not give you a way to switch between the two from the phone when it comes to outbound caller ID. That can only be done through the control panel. Of course with the speed at which they add features it may be possible next week.
Small side note: I spelled my own name wrong on the CNAM. lol

Seems like this forum is their marketing consultant...
We review what's available, give pricing, etc. and all
they have to do is read in the forum.
It's like B King being able to look into McD's planning
sessions without having to pay for it.
That's essentially it, Kaura. Tailoring our services to what experienced VoIP users want to see and use and the word of mouth referrals of customers who are genuinely pleased with what we have to offer are a lot better than the shotgun-approach of marketing in a traditional fashion. (Don't forget you can also earn a bit of $$$ from these referrals ;))
All of the changes to our website, features, and services have been either out of necessity in improving reliability/functionality or have been inspired by community input. Unfortunately it gives a false impression that we have trouble making up our mind on things. I can say we have decided on being flexible enough to suit the needs of the VoIP community.

Let me toss out this bit of info for new Obivoice subscribers. In order to have your name display on your outgoing caller ID log into your Obivoice portal and go to numbers and then manage numbers and click on edit. The blank to enter your name will become active.
Thanks for passing that on! A detailed support article was just put up today about this. You can check it out here.

Could it be that all the changes you are making is why my OBi is rebooting multiple times a day? It was really rare for me to notice the rebooting before moving over to Obivoice.

Changes to a web site can't reboot your OBi.
