I'm looking at subscribing to one of the ObiTalk approved services, ANVEO or PowerPhone.
I want to be able to set my Outgoing Caller ID to my Google Voice number.
Looking at the discussions here, it seems you can do this with ANVEO, but PowerPhone is a little cheaper.
Can you set Outgoing Caller ID with PowerPhone?
Is ANVEO worth the extra few dollars?
I have been with PhonePower for a couple weeks now, and yes it does the spoofing of the Google Voice number, it also has call blocking, selective forwarding and bunch of other very cool features.
I signed up for the $35/yr plan but after a couple weeks I found my wife was going to need a lot more then 300 mins/mo so I upgraded to the unlimited plan for $59/yr.
So far I am quite happy with PhonePhone, the calls are very clear, the support staff is very good as well.

I just set up my obi100 with PP. I used my new number instead of my GV number to display on outgoing calls. I could not think of any reason why I would want people to call the GV number. Of course I set up forwarding for GV number for anyone ho already has that listed as my contact number. Is there any reason this was a bad move?

Not a bad move.

You are bypassing GV call filtering and possible other features that way. So whether that matters determines whether it was a good move or not. Your calls coming in will have less delay this way. You probably made a good move.

Good to know not using my GV number for caller id is ok. I never used call filtering anyway. I did not like not being able increase the time for voice mail to pick up. I have not checked out PhonePower's VM yet.
