GVsip is a new company. It does share a lot of the same features as Vestalink.
There is a free tier of 1,000 minutes a month and you can upgrade to unlimited for a one time payment of $20.
You very neatly avoided saying that GVSip -is- your product and therefore is not really separate from Vestalink.
Your very time-limited promo for $5 is long gone, your nearest competitor (with more features included) did a promo for $3 with an everyday total price of $5.99 - and there is already some feedback in this thread such as my previous replies.
As an Obi user your posts here all look like very careful self-promotion, and given how many users had severe problems for so long with your original service, this happy Obi user has already stated that it will be difficult to ever trust any of your offerings, BUT:
Especially when it is a lesser offering than another's which costs under 1/3 of your pricing every day.
And as previously mentioned - I have no connection with any of these offerings or companies; I've merely become very careful after wasting $$$ a while back on various services which were not all that good.

vtsnaab,
Here is my last attempt to help you with your Android.
There is an easier setup if you are only using the Android on your local network.
This config will route calls to your OBi and then to GV.
Create a free Sip2Sip account here:
https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Install CSipSimple on your Android.
In CsipSimple:
Select Add Account
Select the Basic Wizard. It's near the end of the list.
Account Name: Anything
User: Sip2Sip_ID
Server: sip2sip.info
Password: Sip2Sip_PW
Save
Select Menu on phone
Select Settings
Select Filters
Select your newly created Account
Select add filter
Select 1st entry (Can't call) and change it to Rewrite.
Select 2nd entry (Starts with) and change it to All.
Select 3rd entry (Replace...) and change it to Suffix With.
4th entry: @xx.xx.xx.xx:5061
save
Sip2Sip_ID and Sip2Sip_PW are the name and password you selected when you created your account.
xx.xx.xx.xx is your public IP address assigned to your modem by your ISP.
5061 is the UserAgentPort of SP2.
If you're not using SP2 then change 5061 to the corresponding SP port#.
You MUST dial from the Android Dialer and not the CSipSimple Dialer.
Filters won't work from the CSipSimple dialer.
Configure OBi
Voice Services -> SP1 Service
X_InboundCallRoute: {ph,sp2(Sip2Sip_ID@sip2sip.info;ui=$1)}
Voice Services -> SP2 Service
X_InboundCallRoute: {Sip2Sip_ID>0:ph},{Sip2Sip_ID>(1xxxxxxxxxx):sp1},{ph}
This assumes your service provider is defined on SP1 and SP2 is defined as SIP.
You need to port forward 5061 in your router to the OBi's IP address.
IF you have audio problems you will also have to port forward RTP ports 16800 thru 16998.
That's 199 ports.
See: Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> RTP -> LocalPortMin/Max
Use Port Range Forwarding to avoid having 199 entries in you router.
Dialing 14805551212 will be routed out SP1.
You can change "(1xxxxxxxxxx)" in the inbound route to anything you want including "(Msp1)" to point to the ITSP A DigitMap.
Dialing 0 will ring the OBi phone port.
Inbound calls will ring the OBi phone port and your Android.
If SP2 is not defined, setup a dummy SIP definition like this:
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer : 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName : (any userid)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable : (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile : B

GVsip is a new company. It does share a lot of the same features as Vestalink.
There is a free tier of 1,000 minutes a month and you can upgrade to unlimited for a one time payment of $20.
You very neatly avoided saying that GVSip -is- your product and therefore is not really separate from Vestalink.
The companies are actually very separate because GVsip and Vestalink run on entirely different business models. Although they may share similar software and features the difference is GVsip is free (1,000 minutes a month) and entirely dependant on Google Voice XMPP access similar to OBi devices. While the other company Vestalink is subscription based and is not dependant on Google Voice XMPP access. Hope that helps clarify things. Thanks

If GVSip is free, Why are you limiting it to 1000 free minutes. (probably a combination of inbound/outbound)? Google Voice is unlimited. Is there any setup fees? If so, how much?
Ryan_Tilton:
The service is free if you use less than 1,000 minutes a month (inbound/outbound). If you want to upgrade to unlimited there is a one time payment of $20. Most residential users will fall under the free tier.
