I have my home cordless phone plugged into an Obi100 and have GV on SP1 and Anveo E911 on SP2. I've decided to go with Vestalink and forward my GV #. After searching this site and others to find the simplest way to do this I still have a few questions. It appears that I should first go to the Obitalk website and delete GV and Anveo E911 from SP1 and SP2. Next I need to do a factory reset on my Obi100 by dialing ***81. Then it's off to the
Vestalink.com site to sign up for a free trial. I plan on using the "Easy Setup" and believe during this or after I will be asked if I want to spoof my caller ID and this is where I will enter my GV #. Finally, I will need to go to my Google Voice site and add my new Vestalink number.
Questions:
1) Does above sound about right and in the right order?
2) To delete GV & Anveo from SP1 and SP2 do I go to "Add Device" on the Obitalk site & just take the Configuration Name out and uncheck all the boxes - I don't see a delete button anywhere?
3) Would it benefit me more to use the Obitalk setup? It appeared that using Vestlink's Easy Setup would be easier?
4) I would rather just forward my GV # instead of porting, so I hope I'm one of the lucky ones that does not experience call quality issues. Does anyone know why some experience quality issues and others do not? Is it based on where you live, internet speed, etc...
5) Should I be concerned that the Obihai site does not list Vestalink on their list of 16 service providers?
Sorry about all the questions, and as some of you are thinking, I probably should not be using VOIP being the novice that I am. I agree, but as I near retirement, I'm trying to save all the $ I can
.
Thanks for any help or corrections!
