Obivoice (Intelafone) vs. Forthcoming Obihai Service?
et_phone_home:
Is Obivoice one of the "ITSP" companies I read about on the OBI blog site? Or is there supposed to be some other provider that has the same kind of pricing of $40 per year soon to be revealed by OBI themselves?
Does Obivoice support incoming cnam? Will cnam still work if somebody calls my Google Voice number that is being forwarded to a Obivoice number?
TheoGeek:
Obivoice does support incoming CNAM, and I'm pretty sure it would work like my old setup:
outside world -> GV number -> CallCentric Number -> Obi.
That gave me incoming CNAM, and I don't see why it wouldn't work the same way with Obivoice. If they are still offering a free trial, you could always get a temporary number from them to have your GV number forwarded to and try it out.
They also let you spoof outgoing Caller ID if you own the number (they do a call check and have you enter a code). So you could get a temp number for the duration of the trial and set it up such that nobody would be any wiser.

Thanks TheoGeek. I suppose I can signup for their trial and see how it goes.
I was just waiting to see what Obi themselves have up their sleeves, but Obivoice sounds like it will be good enough for my purposes.

I have subscribed with Obivoice and they are great to work with. One thing I noticed before signing up is that in the OBi blog they referred to a set number of minutes for 40.00, not unlimited. That doesn't mean Obihai won't link to some unlimited plans, but Obivioce is already offering the option for BYOD OBi users at a great rate.

I'm all in with them too. I subscribed with the 2 year unlimited plan for $59.99 after only a few days with their trial - ported my number and everything. I'm really impressed so far, both with the service and the way they take feedback and do something about it.
