Coming Soon: Ring.to a new OBiTALK ASP with Absolutely FREE Calling!
zorlac:
1. You must have purchased a new Obi device
2. Your must secure 9-1-1 service from an approved Obi provider
3. You must port your number in to RingTo.
Doesn't condition #2 negate "Absolutely FREE Calling"?
This looks like I'd need a second ITSP that will be billing me ~$1.50/mo ???
I'm looking forward to how this pans out & what the porting fees will be for an old Verizon POTS #.
Hmmm, from the RT website "Unlike other service providers, we do not charge you to port your number in"
WOW, all this just to check if a # is portable to RT?

Ring.to made the same announcement as Obihai...something will happen, it's not clear when and for which users - unless Obihai sticks to their high-horse approach and offers the alternative to new customers only.

Strange restrictions/qualifications from The RingTo to provide Obihai services:
1. You must have purchased a new Obi device
- New? By date of purchase? New firmware? New processor?
2. Your must secure 9-1-1 service from an approved Obi provider
- So far there are no requirements to have 911 on RingTo site.
3. You must port your number in to RingTo. Existing RingTo users with an active phone number will not need to port a number.
- Then why are they talking about porting? By the way, here is the known issue: https://bandwidth.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/334657-call-forwarding-not-working-via-google-voice. I wonder if RingTo is motivated to fix that at all.

Even though I think they may try to fix it I can't imagine it's high on their list since the service seems to be a Google Voice replacement. Additionally any extra forwarding between the services would cause the call quality to degrade and introduce new problems.

Call forwarding via Google Voice to Ring.to to any number is actually working very well. You will have to answer and then dial '1' to connect the incoming call. Thanks to the Groove IP FAQ: http://snrblabs.com/snrb/apps/grooveip/faq.aspx

Is this still going to happen? The original OBi announcement said "within a few weeks," which has already come and gone, and ring.to is not present in the Approved Service Providers list. The ring.to parent site said, "no later than early June" (which ends today), but that page has been removed (it was there yesterday).
