Cheapest VOIP provider for OBI100/110 etc..
clawdogs:
I considered the IVR feature on Anveo but after thinking about it, I remembered how annoying it is to listen to the dialing options so I could reach someone. I rarely had robo-calls on GVOICE but not nearly as many as when I used a regular VOIP carrier. If I received more than one annoying robo-call from any number, I would just log on to GVOICE and block. That's one of the reasons I chose Vestalink, since it has the same block feature..

If the service is for home use and you have a known group of numbers that contact you, you can add the numbers to an address book and then configure Anveo to let those calls go straight through and only the Unknown numbers get the Press 1 to continue prompt.

I'm getting very good feedback on this Vestalink option. If anyone has more to share, please do. I also forgot to add that Vestalink provides a free 30 day trial (or 60 minutes) which includes a free local number.. and if you decide to go with any of the promotional plans, you have 30 days to cancel and get your money back, no questions. The promotional prices expire on 3/31. After that I don't know how much the plans will be but it probably won't be much more expensive. One last thing. Vestalink also has an App for iOS/Android which allows you to use your Vestalink account to make calls via your Data Plan or WIFI without having to use your carrier minutes. So your phone / tablet / mobile device can double as a home phone and a wireless phone. How's that for cool? :) http://www.vestalink.com/

Vestalink doesn't have local numbers in all areas, and may not be able to port all Google Voice numbers in.

That's one reason I originally was going to port my number to GV, but decided against that.
However, as of now, Vestalink does not have the same spam filtering as GV - I voted on some suggested features, including that, which I believe they are considering or planning. But so far, they only seem to have a blacklist.
One problem with blacklisting is that the same calls keep coming in, but under different numbers every time, so it's a losing proposition.
And how hard is it to press one key to continue a call, when it's the first option? Personally, if it's too hard for someone, then I don't care to talk to them anyway, since the call is not very important.
