If anyone is following, I love gvoice and the ability to receive calls any phone number. I use voip and cell and love not having to notify new numbers.

This group does not seem to be very active, but anyway, I'll include a
link about continuing to use Google Voice with the Obihai telephone
adapter that many of us use to get free home phone service through
Google Voice. That option is coming to an end May 15, 2014, so Obihai
is talking about other options here:

I agree with you about how handy it is to use Google Voice to show your
GV number for outgoing caller ID. Many of the VOIP services do offer
simultaneous ring, although some of them limit it to just a couple
phones I think. Anyway, the Obi device is a good device that will work
with a lot of VOIP providers and they are starting to develop some
partnerships, so let's see how that all plays out. For $40 per year,
you get 250 outgoing minutes and unlimited incoming minutes (includes
support for 911 service), but most of the people who chimed in on the
Obi forum don't feel 250 outgoing minutes is enough. Hope they come up
with something a bit better...

I think Google Voice will be drastically changing this year with the Hangout changes coming along. I've been a user before Google in the Grand Central days. I'm afraid the only option is to pay for a service to get this functionality. I am now using RingCentral.

I use my Obihai box with a classic desktop Aastra 480e POTS phone (great headset capabilities.)

My choice of VOIP provider was CallWithUs. They're web site is raw, well executed and allows you to reliably roll-your-own. (Not for your mother-in-law but great for the type of person that would subscribe to this mailing list.) They are pay-as-you-go which usually ends up real cheap.

Outbound calling is $0.005/m to Canada, $0.0095 to USA, China etc. Inbound calling is done by purchasing a DID #, available in virtually an area code and most are $3-$5/month and include 2,000-4,000 free inbound minutes and 0.01 or 0.02 a minute after that.

I 'solve' the Google Voice no-service in Canada by combining some DIDs going through my CallWithUs service.

So when someone calls my Google Voice #, my Canadian cell rings, my TMobile USA cell rings, my Mac 'SIP' client ('Telephone') rings, Google Hangouts via Google Mail rings, my desktop phone in my home office (via the Obihai box) rings. Needless to say, people can reach me wherever I am.

Glad to share any details.

Google Voice is a business essential. Obihai extends this to my desk.
