I think OBIHAI should send an email to all their users, so those depending on Google Voice aren't blind sided. Not everyone using an OBi device with Google Voice are active on this forum.
Anyone think this is a bad suggestion?
I have and will always question Obihai's motive for not notifying it's users of this change.
When the announcement from GV was made, all Obi did was put out some low key useless blog post on their own site. They didn't even send out a notification to their users of the blog post at least.
Given that every Obi user is goaded to register with an email address, their motives for not notifying their users of this HUGE change has to be one of deception instead of oversight.
I know some other forum members might disagree, but by June 15th the price of Obi's will give a better indication to why nothing was said. They don't have any real alternatives. The Anveo deal was hilariously ridiculous in price and quality. The phonepower deal is better but still far off. Vestalink is making some of us nervous with their teething problems. Giving all those, I guess Obi figures it's best to say nothing.
I found out about it, by accident. When I was having issues with an upgrade and stumbled onto this forum looking for answers, only to see there was a train coming down the tracks and here I was worried about small upgrade issues.
