Google Voice with GVSip vs. OBi
LTN1:
GVSip has been spamming this forum the last day and the forum moderators have been taking down the shameless advertising throughout the day.
I don't care to promote the product, even if it is "free." I have not even tried it--mainly due to the reputation of the promoter--causing skeptical reservations--because nothing is truly free.
As a new VoIP service, I would like to hear users' experiences about how GVSip works with GV...particularly the perceived call quality thus far when compared to the OBi202 device.
I purchased the OBi202 not just to use it with GV for calling but also for the voice quality and ability to do basic faxing with a GV number--which has been pretty good so far (though not perfect).
I welcome any critical reviews of this new service--both good and bad.
Ryan_Tilton:
GVsip is not intended to be a competitor to OBi devices, its goal is to enhance Google Voice by adding features like voice dialing, basic caller ID, e911, message waiting indicator, and much more.
There is nothing special about interfacing with Google Voice to make phone calls, anyone can do it with any device.
I think its getting removed because Obihai has leveraged Google Voice as a key selling point, and GVsip approaches on this with the ability to use any device including inexpensive voip ATA's like the Grandstream ht701.
But really GVsip's purpose is to enhance the free calling of Google Voice.

Ryan,
The CNAM displayed on my phone was only city and state.
When I looked at the call log it showed my name, address, city, state and zip, so I don't think you are parsing the information correctly.

GVsip requires a device being registered before you can setup GV.
After you setup GV, you can unregister your device.
Now if all your OBi SP trunks are used, you can define GVsip as an outbound only GV line on a Voice Gateway.

Thanks for the input, I will see what is going on with that and get it fixed asap.

Is this a rebranding of Vestalink? Nobody really gives anything away for the cost of, free.
There has to be a bill at some point, maybe after a free trial.
