Vestalink Lowered Rates
ceg3:
My one year with Vestalink ends on 2/3 and I just took a look at their site and was surprised to find they have dropped their rates by 30.00 for unlimited. I had immediately decided not to renew when a couple of months ago I received a notice that my locked-in rate of 39.99 for unlimited would be jumping to 89.99. I see they now offer 500 minutes a month for 39.99, which I have to admit got my attention, since I am a lite user. 3.33 a month is a good rate and most of my issues with Vestalink have been features not working and not actual phone quality, which was consistently good. I might think seriously about keeping the service now.
After Google Voice issues were settled I set the service up on my SP1 and deleted Vestalink after setting that number to always forward to my GV number. I haven't actually dialed out on the Vestalink number in months. I wonder what sort experience current users of Vestalink are having. Any feedback would be appreciated.

My rate went from @25.00 for 500 min. to 80.00 for 2000 min, which I don't need. I then noticed new price 50.00 for 2000 min
I contacted them, they offered to extend for 2 years for 60.00 more dollars.
Good deal?????????
Are they on obi approved list any more?
My main concern what happens to my phone number if they go under??
I have home office phone number also that renews soon. Its very important to keep that number. ADVICE please.

It's hard to say what to do.
VL is still set as our main service, my wife hasn't been complaining, and I can't remember any recent outages.
I wouldn't port a number I care about to VL. Given that GV is back on Obi's, life has to be tough for a consumer-oriented ITSP. If most users are not very heavy users, then survival is more likely.
BTW, VL has had lower rates for a while, they were just hidden (you had to find the "basic" plans). If they keep those rates, I'll renew, because it's worth it just for the DID with CNAM and E911.

This post over at DSL Reports speculates about VL motives for having a sudden interest in the relationship between Google Voice and OBi. This sudden interest and the aggressive pricing of VL services seems to show his concern that some customers may not be interested in renewing.

That forum is chock full of gossip, uninformed speculation, and bad attitudes. There is absolutely, positively, nothing authoritative or worthwhile there, with regard to any business plans or motives by Google or Obihai.
You can get into another useless debate over the meaning of "supported" if you wish, but it's going nowhere.
