Cheapest VOIP provider for OBI100/110 etc..

Yea, I guess porting is the only option, if you want better service, but it does make sense. Any voip has to make a few hops before it terminates. The fewer hops, the better. As for Vestalink being around in a few years, who knows? Everyone thought Google Voice would be around longer than it will be so it doesn't matter if you're big like Google or small like a mom and pop. I guess the bottom line is the bottom line... Google was free, no real incentive to make it any better than it ever was so google never bothered with it. It's been pretty much the same service ever since day one. At least Vestalink/Intelafone/obivoice has been actively trying to make a better service. I'm happy to support a small business - especially that the economy is still trying to get out from under a mess. For me, it's a good service so far and it exceeds my expectations for the price. I'm willing to take a small risk.. Worse case scenario, they fold, I lose $50 bucks for my plan.. I paid $50 for a full tank of gas just yesterday... As for your ported number, when packet 8 went out of business, they sold to some other company, I just ported my number to my cable company.. There are risks but I guess you need to determine what costs you can live with, as with anything.. :)

I take back my hesitations about Vestalink. I signed up with a new account, and it plays nicely with Google Voice. No ring delays or voicemail issues anymore. I wonder what made the difference?
I wasn't looking forward to sending my father new voip equipment. Glad he can keep the obihai.
At this point I'm totally happy and willing to risk the $39. whoopie!
Update: Here is my referral link to Vestalink (which used to be called Obivoice) http://www.vestalink.com/#_l_7t

Glad it's working for you. No VOIP connection is perfect. For me, If most of the time it works fine, I'm ok with that. Heck, for the price and service, this really exceeds my expectations.

Weird that monthly Pots Line taxes alone, are more than some monthly VOIP bills.
