Is this 2 continuous hours on the same call or 2 hours of accumulated use?
Thx much for quick followup. It's 2 hours on one call. Redialing from the same line to the same number (that was called originally) starts another call. Yep, this is fantastic from a free service, for sure. fwiw, I'd -gladly- pay (to GV or Obitalk or whomever) some nominal amount to get around it. But not as much as the $43/mo I'm saving by dumping vonage.
Hope my persistence isn't causing problems when asking: why specifically do we think we can't "work around" this? Are we certain it's GV only... and/or that Obitalk can't at least detect in advance that GV is about to hangup and warn the caller, or something similar? Or maybe auto-redial the number after hangup? Or maybe even offer a paid service that negotiates something with GV so that certain Obitalk subscribers get a "premium" GV-Obi package (that might address other technical/support/etc shortcomings)? In the latter case, Obi and GV could maybe make more $$, money I'd certainly happily pay. (Alas... setting up all the pay/pricing/service structure is of course very non-trivial... but just thinkin'... out of the box here for solutions both technical- and "business"-oriented.)
In any case, love the support feedback here (at
obitalk.com/forum). And thoroughly enjoying the Obitalk product.
