Skype can also forward to a phone number for free when you purchase a subscription like the $2.99 plan you talked about.
That is how I receive my calls. Works quite well. If you don't care using the computer for outbound Skype calls and are mostly interested in receiving Skype calls on your phone, that would work nicely.

Hi,
Am another one of the ObiHai/Google Voice users thats thinking of switching to Anveo. A few questions for the experts
a) Anveo call quality - anyone have experience with how their call quality is vs. the quality on Google Voice?
b) Outgoing calls on Anveo/ObiHai - I see that one can "spoof" the outgoing caller ID to be the Google Voice number. However, can we still route our calls through Google Voice? i.e., be able to seamlessly use our Google Voice account (and their call rates) to make International calls for e.g.?
Thanks
Sam

No. If the outgoing call was being routed through GV why would they need to spoof the GV number? ???
The call will not show up in your GV call history, it goes through Anveo and Anveo spoofs your GV number.
Incoming calls that you route to your Anveo from GV will show up in your GV call history.

Calls forwarded to Anveo from google voice are subject to the same quality issues of any Google voice forwarded calls. I have had no incoming quality issues on Anveo other than the random google voice problems that affects my Callcentric incoming as well.
My mom is using Anveo for incoming and outgoing and when I checked with her on Friday it has been working great.
Outbound calls via Google voice (after they shut off xmpp) can only be done via the webpage method. You log into your google voice webpage, and tell it you want to place a call. Tell it the number to call, and tell it the number to connect you. Google voice will then call you and connect you to the outgoing call. In that case the international part should be over GV, and the local charges would be through Anveo or whoever you use to complete the call to you. In that case it may be cheaper to have GV call your cell phone to complete the call since most cell services now have "unlimited minutes".

The call quality of Anveo is perfect (arguably, the best), with no irritating delays such as I have experienced with Google Voice.
Call quality is highly dependant upon on the quality of your internet connection - if that is good, so be will your Anveo/Obi calls.
