GVSip and OBi devices
Marc:
I just received notice about a new service, GVSip, which claims to allow the use of ANY SIP device to connect and use Google Voice. Right now they are offering a free 30 day/60min trial and then a one time fee of $4.99.
The service is from Vestalink.
http://www.gvsip.com
Has anyone tried this service? With OBi's, I don't see much advantage, other than being able to use existing stock of VOIP devices. But, they do offer some addon services, for a fee, which may be interesting to some, Voicemail w/ MWI, E911, and Caller ID w/ name. Personally, the CID w/Name would be nice, the only real feature I feel GV is missing that I miss having.
Would love to hear people's thoughts and or experiences.
Here's their blurb,"GVsip allows you to use your Google Voice account with any VoIP device. Register up to 10 VoIP devices to your Google Voice account to make and receive unlimited free calls to the United States and Canada. Signup today to get your unlimited 30 day risk free trial. If you decide you like the service there is only a one time upfront fee to keep your acount active forever."

I have, and I will ;D
Just figured some may have been part of a beta or have more information than the almost zero I was given. I have also sent a long list of questions to the company and will share those and the answers, if I hear back.
dircom:
yes, it is surprising how little info there is.
I have had Vestalink for over a year, so I would assume if there was a beta test, they would have contacted me, but they didn't.
The lack of CNAM is one of the drawbacks of using GV for my primary line. So I am interested so see what you have to report.
thanks

I've solved the CNAM problem by having a RaspberryPi running IncrediblePBX doing CNAM lookups against bulkvs.com ($0.009/dip).
I also have a script running on the Pi that pulls my Google Contacts every night, and CallerID Superfecta looking there first, to save money for those I have.
Works well.
