AlanB, after porting your GV number to Anveo, is the original Anveo phone number still in your account, or was it replaced by the GV number?
It showed up as a new number on unlimited rate pal as soon as port process was started. I was told that once port is complete I could request to have my ported number replace original. I haven't completed that yet.
It sounds like you would be charged $2/month if you don't do anything. Did you check any rate plan box on the porting form? There is no box for "OBiTALK Special".
i spoke with anveo about this as well when i was porting my att landline to them;
you need to check the "personal unlimited" box and then once your number is ported, you open a chat with them and tell them to switch it to the obitalk special.
technically the obitalk special is the exact same as personal unlimited.

I'm a bit confused about the whole issue of whether to go with Anveo. Maybe someone can help. Right now I have a Google Voice phone number with the Obi and I also have it linked to a Callcentric phone number so I can get 911 service on my home phone, with caller ID (including with name that works most of the time). GV also rings on my cell. So right now I only pay $1.50 with Callcentric for the 911 service.
With CallCentric, all incoming calls are free and I have Obi configured so it always uses GV for outgoing calls. But if I get CallCentric for outgoing, they charge by the minute and I don't like that. I would rather pay a flat rate, but I'm not so sure about the 250 minutes outgoing with Anveo.
The reason, though, I'm so confused is I don't know what is happening with Google Voice. Is it going away or will we still be able to use it, if we want, but just not with our home phone anymore? That part is as clear as mud at this point, but I know I've got to figure out something or I could miss some calls. But since GV is always forwarded to my cell anyway, wouldn't that continue to happen? Thanks, if anyone can help.

GV is not ending.. just the XMPP part. So if someone calls you on the GV number, and it's forwarded to your cell phone, you'll be able to get the call anyway.
AlanB:
Google Voice is not going away. You just won't be able to receive or make calls directly. You can get incoming calls like you are doing but will need an option to make calls.

If the Basic plan and the Personal Unlimited plan are really the same thing, I wonder if I sign up for the latter via the Anveo web site if the SIP credentials are not hidden? Then I could pay $3.33 per month and use and Obi100 device in addition to a Bria softphone client on the ipad perhaps?
