So $2/month for unlimited incoming/outgoing calls?
Ummmm, no! lol.
Outgoing calls are per their rate table:
https://www.anveo.com/consumer/rates.asp (i.e. half a penny per minute to Canada, 1 penny per minute to the USA, etc.)
Just to be clear, there's no reason you
HAVE to use Anveo for your outgoing, you can use any voip provider for your outgoing (i.e. VoipJumper, amazing for overseas rates, they let you spoof your CallerID info too!)
I hope that makes it a little easier
Quote from: gderf on November 03, 2013, 02:47:28 PMIf you are using it within the US or Canada, they are going to want to charge you for 911 recovery fee, $1.50 per month I think. I don't think that allows you to make outgoing 911 calls though - somebody correct me if I am wrong. To avoid the 911 fee you can lie to them about where you are using it from. No idea if that will hold up or not, and they may challenge you on that eventually or just cut you off.
The
911 fee is $0.80 with Anveo (see bottom of page, beside e911). When I was talking to them on the phone I asked them if it was mandatory and they said to just change my country to Afghanistan if I didn't want to pay it, so obviously they are OK with it, lol.
What makes you think you can't dial 911 on Anveo? That's what the $0.80 is for, lol. I've tested it (by dialing 933, their 911 test number) and it works perfectly. I called my local police station switchboard and asked if I could test 911 and they said no problem, just let them know my phone number and address and they'll flag it as non emergency for the next 10 mins.
