Sorry, but as a true conservative, I cannot in good conscience do any business with Google because of their anti-liberty, anti-sovereign stance.
I have it and it works great. One caveat: Google Talk support for obitalk ends on May 15, 2014 and you will have to find another VOIP provider by then. There are over a dozen to choose from. I’m waiting to read reviews to select my new provider.
We use Magic Jack. Only real downside is when power or internet are down, I have no home phone. I do have a TracFone, though, so not completely without.
Give Google the boot. It’s high time some folks learn the price of convenience.
It is just so nice to never pay ANY phone bill again. No long distance expense. and Google voice will grab any calls that you can't or choose not to answer. When anyone leaves a message Google voice transcribes it and sends it to your mail box of choice... and it does not need to be a Google mailbox. You can also use it as a voice memo you want to email to yourself. Just call your number and when you leave a message it will be transcribed and sent to your email.
Just be careful if you change your Google Voice password that you change it is ObiTalk too.
The problem that comes in there is it is easy to put your Google voice under a different account and then you will need to work that out with email support at Obi to get it all changed back to you.
I got my Obi100 on a special at NewEgg for only $36. NewEgg and Amazon occasionally compete and beat each others price so it will fluctuate up and down from as low as $36.
Enjoy!
I have Vonage for my business (multiple lines) and have had zero problems. I booted AT&T and save hundreds per month. They were very sad to see me go.
