Veritalk:
Would like to use my Obi100 in Canada.

Need a Canadian telephone number for inbound calls.

Would like to use Google voice for inbound and outbound calls.

Is this possible?

Suggestions to accomplish this?

Thanks.

This has been discussed at great length in the past.  I am personally unaware of anything new on this front since the last discussion I took part in.  The best overall deal for Canadians that I am aware of is freephoneline.ca and www.localphone.com is a favorite service of mine that offers Canadian DIDs.

When using Google Voice for incoming and outgoing calls the number will be a US number.   It can't be made to appear as another number and it can't be forwarded to a Canadian DID.  That makes Google Voice unnecessary when used with a service that provides a Canadian DID unless you want a second US presence.

Possibly someone with more recent information on Canadian ITSPs can chime in.

Correct.

Also, check out voip.ms, which is a Canadian ITSP that's been around a long time, with a good reputation.

Is this possible:

SP1: Anveo with Canadian Number (for incoming calls)
SP2: Google Voice (for outgoing calls)

Anveo also offers E911.

Can it be configured such that 911 calls go out on SP1?

Thanks.

Perfectly acceptable setup and fairly simple.
