Beta testers needed for GVsip.comHey everyone I have been working on a new company that allows you to connect any VoIP device to your Google Voice account. I need beta testers to try out the service and provide feedback. Beta testers will receive free basic access for life using the coupon code “betatest”. So please feel free to check it out at » www.GVsip.com and provide feedback here or support@gvsip.com Thank you!  -Ryan |

What, you didn't want to use "Google Voice Gateway"? |

Even if you enter the coupon code it still requires a credit card. No, thanks. |

said by WhyADuck:Even if you enter the coupon code it still requires a credit card. No, thanks. That is to verify the account to prevent fraud, no charges will be placed on your card. I will be adding more payment methods in the future such as paypal and amazon checkout. You can still try the service for 30 days / 60 minutes without entering any payment details. |

I'll try later today. Your Vestalink/GV integration worked quite well.
I'll dedicate a Cisco 7960 and a couple accounts to give it a whirl. |

GVsip was not designed to be a free service. After testing there will be a $4.99 setup fee and then its free (unless you opt in for monthly add-ons, Caller ID w/ name, Voicemail w/ notifications and mwi, E911). The coupon is just a work around so you wont be charged as a beta tester. |

Using both 10 digit and 11 digit dialing on Asterisk, get the following (I'll keep checking):
Dial failed due to trunk reporting BUSY - giving up
[2015-03-30 14:51:11] VERBOSE[3339][C-000002cb] app_dial.c: == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:1/0/0) |

I'm not seeing your account associated with Google Voice. Make sure you set that up first. Have you done that? Go to Google Voice -> click green button |

Minor details.... works just fine (after I pressed the Google button). I just figured that it would associate the account on the signup page.
Work just fine! Good stuff!! Thanks. |

The two companies are completely separate. GVsip lets you build your own monthly plan.
GVsip Gateway Service - $0/mo ($4.99 setup)
Caller ID w/ name - $2.99/mo
Voicemail w/ sms & email notifications, mwi and transcriptions - $4.99/mo
e911 w/ sms & email notifications - $1.29/mo |
|

said by Ryan Tilton:GVsip Gateway Service - $0/mo ($4.99 setup) ONLY $4.99
* Limited time promotion ends on Apr 03, 2015 What is the price after Friday? |
|

Not sure yet, it depends how many people sign up. The beta code is good for the first 25 beta users. |

Or you could use this service, which is free.... » simonics.com/gvgw/ |

I intended to try it as a voice gateway in obi, but it doesn't even let me associate the Google Voice account unless I register my ATA to the server.  |

That service is closed (the form remains for existing users). A similar, but better, service will be offered soon. |

E911 is an add on? Not mandatory? |

said by Ryan Tilton:So please feel free to check it out at http://www.GVsip.com Putting Google Voice website inside an iframe is IMHO a cheesy move - combine that with a domain name that includes the initials GV, and this seems almost as bad (if not worse) than ObiVoice... SIP device registers fine, but your UI doesn't indicate as such. (not that i really want to use the service, but figured id test it out anyway just to see) Requiring a CC to prevent fraud really doesn't make sense if a beta user is going to be free anyway. What type of fraud scenario are you trying to prevent? Looking at the addons pricing alone (ie excluding any one time activation fee for the basic plan), to get a still rather basic setup with incoming CNAM, E-911, and Voicemail w/MWI, one would be looking at $9.27 / month... resulting in a package that is neither feature-rich nor competitively priced - especially considering that you're not even providing a DID or minutes. (yes, someone else is, for free, but you're not.) said by Ryan Tilton:That is to verify the account to prevent fraud, no charges will be placed on your card. More likely it is a simply a bug with recurly.. or maybe not even a bug, since recurly is intended for setting up recurring payments, rather than registration for a free-forever product. said by Ryan Tilton:Hey everyone I have been working on a new company said by Ryan Tilton:The two companies are completely separate. GVsip lets you build your own monthly plan. Ok, so an actual separate company, and not another DBA of INTELAFONE LLC? If so, what is the name of the new and totally separate company? |

(1) Is there a way to change the associated GV account?
(2) Does associating a particular GV account with GVsisp interfere, in any way, with existing GV settings/routings for that particular GV account (such as the forwarded-to phones selected in the GV portal; or an existing Obi device using that GV account? |

The other thing I mentioned in my OP about the offer is free for life does not make sense, too. What if Google decides to pull the plug tomorrow and is the service going to hold on for life? |

You still get the gateway free for life! ... a gateway to nothing. More to the point: "whose life is this, anyway?" -- the life of the subscriber? -- the life of GV? -- the life of the offering company? |

said by arpawocky:Requiring a CC to prevent fraud really doesn't make sense if a beta user is going to be free anyway. The service is only free with the beta coupon (16 left), requiring a card is a limitation of the billing system. I rather not have thousands of automatically setup accounts for fraudulent use of Google Voice. Thats why the card is required, but mainly it will pay for the server costs and bandwidth. said by mazilo:What if Google decides to pull the plug tomorrow and is the service going to hold on for life? The service is free after the setup fee, but it does require Google to keep XMPP access alive to work. |

Recurly requires a payment method... has nothing to do with fraud prevention. said by Ryan Tilton: I rather not have thousands of automatically setup accounts for fraudulent use of Google Voice. Thats why the card is required, said by Ryan Tilton:but mainly it will pay for the server costs and bandwidth. Three very contradictory reasons... and the third.. you require a payment method for a free for life beta account mainly to pay for server costs and bandwidth... That doesn't sound too good. said by Ryan Tilton:I registered the domain, Godaddy was running a special on private registration. The registrars that I mainly use don't even charge for whois privacy... but I still only use it when I want some anonymity - and never on a business domain. |
