If you won't be making a lot of outgoing calls to cells, I would recommend Anveo. $5 per month including unlimited incoming. 1.7 cents per minute to Landline, 7 CPM to Cell.
If you are going to go heavy on cell calls, check out Callcentric. $12.95 per month + $10.95 setup fee for unlimited incoming, 1.43 CPM to landline, 3.19 CPM to mobile.

Technically speaking, with an OBi you could use Anveo for incoming, and Callcentric for outgoing (no need to sign up for their incoming plan) for the best of both worlds. However your incoming number wont show up on CID, unless you have someway to spoof it (or just block it).

Also that would use up 2 slots in your OBi, so if you also want to use it with GV, you would need the 202

So Its probably just cheaper to get a bezek landline?

Probably not

Probably not

Possibly ye, I'm paying 50 shek for 1000 min with netvision

Chaikel - whats the bezek rates you know of?

I'm assuming those are only landline minutes. Assuming you use all 1000 minutes, yes I guess it will be cheaper to use that plan. But how much are mobile minutes? I barely use my landline for outgoing, so I'm assuming that at most my bill with Anveo will be ~$7 range. I guess it depends on your calling patterns. I currenlty use Hot and I pay 40 sheck a month with no minutes. I ordered an OBi box for my house about an hour ago. I'm going to use Anveo until Spikko becomes an option. And from what the Spikko rep told me, it sounds like Spikko will be much cheaper than that once it gets started

Bump. Best way to go still anveo or call centric?

Can you give a summary for those of us that don't want to read the whole thread?

Hi,

I know this is a really old thread - but i'm wondering if Spikko ended up adding the voip option and if not - what everyone uses as the cheapest option for an Israeli landline number?

thanks
