I'm new here and was seriously looking at GV specifically for its SPAM
blocking by # and having two multiple account link to the same #fwd...
Well, like others have said, it's no surprise that free is getting killed.
So with G out of the pic, moving forward here is what I have envisioned:
I looking at purchasing an OBi110 because it bridges the following
-- Pots<>Obi(BT/Wifi)<>SIP(voip)*2 [at least that's my understanding].
My options at this point kinda (pretty bad) and looking at leasing commercial
property so up go the costs [which I am trying to avoid by doing the following:]
Internet via VirginMobile 6GB @ $55 / month => currently have [using to write this]
Have a MagicJack+ that I would like to retire (at least retire the payments)
=> doesn't work well if the only internet service you have is Broadband2Go wireless.
[have 3 other MagicJacks that I have already retired
]
Coming in the next few days:
VTech CS6859-2 2-Handset Cordless Answering System with Caller ID/Call Waiting
Straight Talk Wireless Home Phone => $15 / month unlimited US / Nationwide
I would like to use the OBi110 to bridge and be used to block certain callers,
or to forward to certain devices or #'s based on the Caller ID or Phone #.
Nothing that I have currently has this capability, and it seems that GV is about
to exit stage right!
What I HAVE done in the past is purchase a voice modem, intercept the Caller ID,
and if the number matched (or no anonymous, etc.) have the modem pick up and
play a fax wave file or disconnect message.
In the past I've had people try to fax to my recorded wave file and it was somehow
kind of funny to me -- anyway that's off topic.
I don't want to leave my computer on 24/7, but have thought about purchasing
an Asus for this purpose. Seems like this is a long about way to get things done.
Where should I open this post... as it seems that it relies typically on the OBi110
and bridging Pots with a computer or something of the sort.
I was hoping to somehow use an OBI product and the StraightTalk Home device
so that I could lower prices considerably and not have unwanted incoming calls,
or have to have a computer on 24/7.
Thanks for reading this somewhat long post.
