Mother is soon moving into a new place and we would like to port her current landline to VoIP correctly just ONCE !!! Please explain sign-up details to help plan the transition! Thanks.
Not available yet. If it were, there would be a lot of forum traffic about it.
Of course Obihai is on the hush about this, but I believe it is available. It is Anveo and does not seem to be very good.
BASIC
$39.99/year
No hidden fees. Includes all taxes.
BASIC is our lowest cost plan and is designed for users who do not make lots of calls.
$3.33/month - Billed Annually
US or Canada phone number
Free incoming calls
E911
Free voicemail
Free Caller ID
250 outgoing minutes/month to USA and Canada
Yes, that says 250 outgoing minutes. 4 hours a month included outbound. I believe inbound is unlimited, but who cares about that. I should not have to jump through hoops to make a call. The next step up is.
BASIC PLUS
$84/year
No hidden fees. Includes all taxes.
BASIC PLUS is the best option for residential callers.
$7/month - Billed Annually
US or Canada phone number
Free incoming calls
E911 with alerts
Free voicemail
Free Caller ID with Name
550 outgoing minutes/month
to USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico
Still not a good deal to me at least. We can only guess this is the best they can do. I switched to Obivoice at this point.
Obihai get on the ball and work with good partners who understand they have real competition and need to compete.
