ring.to will not work with existing OBi devices (purchased prior to 5/1/2014)
mushnut:
Just in case you were wondering, I got an email back from OBi support informing me that existing customers will not be able to use their existing device (purchased prior to 5/1/14) with the free ring.to service. I was disappointed to see that they would disregard loyal customers like that.
When I asked why they weren't allowing existing customers to use the ring.to service for free this is the reply I got:

You can sign up for our other ASP service provider in OBiTALK (for example

The Ringto SP is our new addition to OBiTALK 's ASP plan.
The features are what Ringto offer.

So they are putting the blame on ring.to saying that those were their terms. I find this hard to believe.
Kage:
That doesn't make any sense unless Ring.to is getting a cut of obi sales as a way of offsetting their costs. Otherwise I can't see why they would care whether older boxes use them or not. I planned on getting an OBi200 anyway but still it seems like Obihai isn't being forthright.
vtsnaab:
Pardon me - but frankly I do not see anything overly attractive about Phone Power, Anveo OR Ring.to - and the business tactics employed in their ASP efforts do not impress me either.
With so many other good providers to choose from I have chosen to completely ignore the 'officially' endorsed ones and thus far I am very glad for that choice.
mushnut:
I also have a feeling that they are not being completely forthright.

I'm intrigued to know how Obihai, Ring.to or anyone can determine when an OBi device was purchased. Date of first registration at OBiTALK I could understand.
