2 different phone numbers in 2 locations with 1 Obi110?
SteveInWA:
If ring.to requires that the OBi also have Anveo's E911, even when you (I assume) already have E911 service with Phonepower, then that's a bad choice of service providers. Just port the landline (POTS) number to a different ITSP (not ring.to), like Callcentric or Voip.ms. or, for that matter, to Phonepower, that also offers E911 service.
rolandh:
To clarify, I said may not work because the posibility of using a second OBi, not necessarily a 110 was mentioned. Since Phonepower, RingTo and Anveo E911 on a single device would require the use of three SP slots that combination will definitively not work on the 110.
Additionally, RingTo requires E911 be on the device, however, my understanding is that Obihai made the arrangement that requires that Anveo be the provider of that service.

I get the impression from your posting history that you're a ring.to evangelist. That's fine, but I try to be vendor/provider neutral, and look for the solution(s) that have the best match to the user's needs, considering cost, benefit and risk. In this scenario, there is not a compelling case to add another service provider (ring.to).
rolandh:
Steve, you baffle me.
It was the OP, not me, who made reference to adding RingTo. Nowhere did I suggest he do so. In fact, because of the need to dedicate two SP slots in addition to the slot already dedicated to Phonepower, I advised that his idea of adding RingTo as a second provider wouldn't work. How, exactly, is that being an evangelist? If you're confused by my reference to a second OBi that was originally mentioned by drgeoff, again, not me.
My impression is that you should read the entire thread before dragging another user's posting history into a critique of a specific post. For the record, I like and use RingTo, as much for their mobile apps as for use on my OBi. I also have paid accounts with Anveo, Callcentric, CallWithUs, CircleNet! and Future-Nine. I like and use those providers as well.
Cheers! Roland
walenta:
thanks Roland, Steve
appreciate any constructive feedback.... I only looked at ring.to as it seemed the cheapest to keep my old phone number... and yes as I have Obi110, having only 2 slots (and already phonepower on one of them) is a limitations - so thanks for pointing it out..... since OBI has only a few providers, I will have to look at other ones... maybe add another phonepower line...
