Obivoice price changes.
7Priest7:
$25 for a year of service is pretty sweet.
500 minutes is more than enough for me.
The real question, how is the QoS going to be come May when me and other GVoice users start signing up for alternate VoIP.
If the price is still $25 a year come may, I may use it.
Otherwise I plan to get a Bluetooth capable home phone and have it paired with my cell.
Are there hidden fees? I tried callcentric long ago before obihai existed and it was full of hidden fees. I would never give callcentric another try, ever!
Will obivoice even be around for a full year?
Companies nowadays always pushing pre-order and paying in advance, forcing the consumer to absorb all the risk if they fail.
ceg3:
I do know there are no hidden fees. The price you see is what you pay. No taxes or fees are added. I get a good feeling about the obivoice gang and as a former netTALK escapee and one time Magic Jack user I know first hand things can be pretty bad in the VOIP world. I once used Lingo and it worked flawlessly for 2 years, but they do add taxes and fees and I eventually became frustrated with their slow price creep. The fees and taxes eventually equaled my little 9.95 a month plan. I think it's unfortunate for obivoice their price increase coincided with OBi users' interest, because they are being somewhat harshly criticized for that. I was assured the unlimited is truly unlimited, but they do monitor usage for excessive commercial use of consumer unlimited.
KAura:
Personally, I like the $75 unlimited for 2 years...
not that I would use all of the minutes on the
lower plans, I just like not having to be nickel'd
& dime'd, so the plan gives peace of mind to me.
But I don't know HOW a company can have such
a big difference in rates between residential and
commercial when everything is voip!
This is total stupidity... or greed... or perhaps
ignorance on my part! An internet packet is
an internet packet.
Without offering any added value, where is
the price difference justified. Simply because
businesses are used to paying it?
Perhaps ObiVoice (Intelafone) knows, but I sure don't.

Something is telling me that this will be not the last sudden turn down the road. Not that I care, since I would not consider this for a second anyway. :)
+1. I was planning to use this OBiVoice service after 5-15-2014 but I don't think I like it anymore.
I am with you on that one. I was also waiting until it was official that Google Voice would no longer work on my Obi 100 before making any changes. I am still waiting to hear what Google might be planning.

Definitely the price difference in the business and residential is and should be a concern for anyone.
Having seen the ridiculous price differences and seen how they are now modifying their website.
I have to say, even I'm not sitting comfortably.
The residential plans now say limited time offer. Plus it says any cancellations will be treated as a month to month plan for refunds. Couple that with the fact that they have this huge price disparity on the residential to business plans, which makes no sense. It does bring its own questions.
I get the feeling that users could be asked to switch to business based on usage eventually. lol. Wouldn't that be interesting!
