Really? Signed up for Phone Power on 5/5/14 with my OBi100 and my Google Voice number forwarded to my Phone Power number. Outgoing calls okay except for choppy at times and some echo. Incoming calls a nightmare. My land line does not ring. All incoming calls are missed. Voice mail inconsistent. Neither Phone Power or OBi have been able to resolve this. OBi Support actually had the audacity today to tell me to get a new router. My router is less than 4 months old and cost $100.00 on sale. It worked fine when it was just my Google Voice account. If routers are an issue then either OBi or Phone Power or both should spell this out on their websites. For example: OBi website lists Phone Power as an approved provider using Router A, B, or C. If you have Router X, Y, or Z then OBi should not recommend Phone Power. But why should Obi really care? I already have had my device for over a year. Too late to take it back. As a Google Voice/OBi user signing up for Phone Power was done through OBi portal. I guarantee you there was not one question about what type of router I had. Now they too have my money.
Now that Phone Power is in the mix nothing works except outgoing calls. I signed up for the Phone Power unlimited plan and paid a one year contract. Betcha a donut Phone Power will not give me my money back.
I am a senior citizen on a fixed income who does not want to give up my land line. That was the beauty of Google Voice. Free and suited to old school ways (keeping a land line). I have a pre-paid cell phone for emergencies (costs less than $7.00/month).
Family emergency last night. All calls went to my cell phone (had to use my pre-paid cell phone number as my fail safe number for Phone Power). I had to answer and tell people I will call you back from my land line. What a pain in the ass. I guess this is what you get with a low cost VoIP plan.
Google Voice was free and did it right. Now I am paying and it is all terribly wrong. I actually do not mind paying but I expect the service to work. Not only that but the number of pre-paid cell phone minutes I have to use to try and deal with all the problems is mind numbing. More in 2 1/2 weeks than in 2 1/2 months. Crazy.
I do not know who is supposed to assume responsibility for this. OBi or Phone Power.
So . . . Really? Phone Power just worked.
