...Is it possible with one Anveo line and one OBi box to duplicate the outgoing SP1 and SP2 Caller ID features we now enjoy? If not, what would it take to duplicate this capability?
Hi Frank,
You can have multiple custom Caller ID numbers configured in your Anveo account. To make a call with Custom Caller ID number configured you will need to dial a special prefix assigned for a particular Custom Caller ID.
To add custom Caller ID you will need to open your Anveo Account Preferences -> Custom Caller ID menu and add phone numbers there. After that you will need to complete automated Caller ID verification process for each custom Caller ID.
After that you can make calls though Anveo using *01, *02 prefixes.

I bought a new ooma for $84.79 @ AMZN for testing. I didn't realize you could not do 3 way calls like you can on an Obi, or POTS line, so for me it's not the right thing.
But basic service with "unlimited calls" costs $3.79 a month for taxes. It's not a bad value
(I thought I bought with one of my ccards that gives me 90 days to return something, but alas used another card without that benefit :-\

Is Anveo registered with the FCC?
I can’t seem to find Anveo at http://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/form499/499a.cfm
Maybe it’s under a different name? Thanks

I heard Ooma can still support googlevoice, I believe that's my next device.
That would be a poor choice. You will need to pay $150 for the device + $150 for the service (That's $300 for your first year alone!) and then another $150 per year, every year for service fees. taxes and the Ooma Premier option to get the GV extension capability.
Not accurate, I just got a ooma for $100, it's onsale, unless you want to be on their Premier plan, it's free instead of $150 per month you mentioned, and it's unlimited minutes within US, you can port your google number for free you don't have to be on the premiere plan, all you pay is local tax, which is $3 dollars for me in California. It's the legit way instead of cheat around way to do things.
[Obihai Comment] A monthly fee was never mentioned. The Ooma device sells for $150 on the company web site. The Ooma profit (called 'fees') and taxes depend on where you live but are about $4 per month ($48/year) - the Premier plan (required to get the GV Extensions feature you need) is about $108-$120 per year. So, the first year out of pocket money is between $256 to $318. And you own a locked device. Subsequent years are between $156 to $168 and above. You should try to return your device and cancel before it's too late.

A couple notes about Anveo. There is no provision when going through the sign up to integrate this plan if you are an existing Anveo customer. Their number pool is rather dry compared to every other provider I've ever tried including Obivoice.
If they don't have a presence in a particular area then you're not going to be able to port. For example, South Carolina still shows only two POPs for 843 and it's been that way for months. You simply can't have a number in Darlington or Myrtle Beach even.
Good luck on support. Anveo charges for that and it seems it doesn't matter what the question is. A basic account may be able to ask a few questions before having to pay but I don't want to burn a question on an answer that should already be provided.
On the landing page they declare support is "selectable" what ever that means (it means not free I imagine or not unlimted) and my last follow up about 843 porting never had it's last question answered.
Obivoice is still a question but I ponied up to support the idea and am hoping they come through. I'd rather not pay to have bugs answered and there is no options to find out what "selectable" means or ask other questions ahead of time.
Even if you are already logged in to your account, it still takes you through the E911 verification and account signup which is where I stopped.
