I have signed up 3 Anveo accounts for my family members and myself, and I have already ported all 3 numbers from GV to Anveo. Not a single problem with provisioning and re-provisioning (changing Obi devices).
I don't think it took me even 5 minutes to get my Anveo account working for their Personal Unlimited plan. I may have used Obitalk to provision it, but not the main advertised plan. I chose the one for other provicers, then Anveo (and
voip.ms for another one to evaluate). It didn't take much longer to reprovision when I got a new ATA, either.
I was totally new to VOIP, so it did take me longer than that to understand what I was reading on their website, mainly because I had to understand that plans were mostly separated into incoming calls requiring a DID and outgoing calls that may not. But as I went through the website, I just saved and documented the links that I felt applied to me, and when I was done, I had a set of links that I no longer needed because I then understood how it was organized.
I think the main problem, and also the main feature, of traditional VOIP providers is that they are not the "Phone Company", so are not geared to dumb users. But there are too many dumb users trying to use it right now.
Personally, I assume most problems are my fault, and I ask how to solve them, and learn. Then there are those who's name I won't mention who find problems and simply want to cry like a child and find everyone else to blame besides themselves. They don't understand the whole concept of what a forum like this even is, thinking it's a complaint dept or something. Or maybe psychologists who care about their problems. Sheesh!
