I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an outstanding quality phone adapter.

Now if you want get free phone service in USA & Canada from Google Voice VOIP service & use it with OBI then download[...]Moving on, if after following the instructions & you're still not connected then continue reading but only if you are encountering either of these two problems I experienced below

Get Obi... have free phone service!

The phones are working through Google voice and even have more features than the land line provided.

Go to your wireless carrier to request phone number transfer from Vonage.

There were no advance messages, the phone simply stopped working properly and when you went to try to figure out what happened, you'd get a notification telling you that you have to pay $10.If that works for them, what next

Using this device, you still can't beat the price of the monthly phone bill --- FREE ---

The Phone works GREAT!

With google voice you have free phone service.

Up with two free phone lines for over a year

If you researching the secret of truly free phone service, the OBi202 will get you there, don't tell anyone ;)

I am a small business owner and this device has helped me simplify my business and personal phone needs along with GV.

If you use Google Voice you've basically got a free home phone.

Plugged in a phone line to Line 1 (there are 2 phone lines available on this unit).

Free phone service, what more can you say.

Free home phone feels good

However, I understand from my daughter who live in Manhattan, that if you live in a dense, metropolitan area, where everyone is using a lot of internet bandwidth, you should know that your internet connection may not support good phone quality

I love the fact that I no longer have a really expensive phone bill each month from the phone company

What else is there to say, it's a free phone via Google Voice.

I figure, I can always port my one critical phone number out of GV if I have to, even if it costs me $10-$20, but more than likely if Google does decide to charge

it's no longer FREE phone service after 6 months time.

Best phone service ever.

The first phone jack supports two-line phones

Highly recommend it to everyone looking cheap or free phone.

Have got other models, them are OK and OBi in general OK, while it provides free (almost) phone service

Works great and the sound quality is just as good as the phone company.

I truly hope Google Voice stays free, and as long as they do, I will continue to use this for free phone service.

So far the FREE phone calls are clear and reliable.

So nice, no more monthly phone bill

I kicked the "smart" phone habit, and expense.

Free phone service, cheap optional 911 service.

So, if I get a call I can pick it up for free at home or on my (cheap) cell phone on the go.

The next step in the total phone # conversion will be to port my Comcast very old phone # used for over 30 years to a T mobile cheap cell phone which cost $1.50 for a GSM sim card and $20 for a cheap BLU brand unlocked GSM phone to port my Comcast land line to the temporary cell phone

As long as Google Voice remains free I'll have free phone service for life

Works great from Google get a free phone number

Someone suggested buying a cheap prepaid phone for this

worst, the phone become silent after talking for 10 minutes, even though we can hear people on the other end of the phone keep asking "are you there?", but they can hear our voice?

One caveat - if you have cell phone connected to portable phone system, un-pair the cell phone(s) first

Yes you now can have a free phone line to your house

The actual phone they bought was problematic, but it's not this box's fault.

I much prefer this setup over MagicJack, and there's also second phone port available in event I ever need fax again

This system using the OBI box and Google voice is probably more complex to setup than other VOIP phone systems like Magic Jack, Vonage, Ooma, etc, but once you buy the $80 box, and the blue tooth adapter for $20 there is zero cost for calls or taxes or fees

I can only recommend this to anyone who wants to cut those expensive phone companies and still get all the features they had before

The CallCentric account included a free local phone number (you choose the area code, they choose the 7-digit local number)

I read about this device and it is a cureall; great phone service, long distance (daily calls to Hawaii) great voice reception.

Free phone service is great

Free home phone!!

Free phone number, free calls from Google Voice and a small investment in the OBI unit will save you substantially in the long run

I have signed up with google voice and I have free phone service at the cost of a little box.

I redo all the steps again and again and suddenly I realise that the ObiTalk's only have the Power light solid on Geen, the data light blinking and no Phone 1 & 2 lights, that means the box unable to detect my analog phone even I have already hook it up, I try switch Phone 1 to 2 and 2 back to 1, not working.

A small investment for FREE phone service is an understatement and, not to mention, the sound quality is perfect!

Also, there are no support phone numbers, and I sent 2 prior email support requests which Obihai never responded

Connected a Panasonic portable phone system to this

and I have two phone number attached to

Works just as advertised free home Phone.

free phone, as long as Google does not drop support.

It is working great so far as a second phone

Have had 2 free phone lines for 1 1/2 years

Can use any inactive cell phone for 911 service or subscribe to an internet VOIP service that is recommended by Obihai for about $1-$2 month and still have great savings monthly

Free phone and fax line

You can also have the OBI box also ring your cell phone as well as your hard wired phones in the house or remotely

Free phone calls

Still this seems to be the best product on the market offering really free phone line with Google.

Told my former VoIp company "good-bye", bought this thing, got two Google Voice local #'s (local to my area where I live) using two distinct Gmail addresses and in about five minute time, I had two lines, each one receiving and making phone calls on its respective Google Voice number (in other words, I now have two phone lines, two independent phone numbers, working independently and completely separate from each other)

So I also purchased a OBiBT bluetooth USB adapter and used the additional "soft phone" option to make a connection to the cell phone.

Very good VoIP phone

t use Google Voice for the business fax line, as I pay for a very inexpensive separate phone number

RipoffThe device is alright, but without a reasonable phone service what good is it

Very simple, very straight forward, and absolutely free phone service.

You will not be disappointed purchasing this, and continuing to get free and very reliable phone service thanks to Google and OBI.

Attached old phone and works fine.

If you port from Tracfone, your account number is the phone's serial number.

This is a one time purchase (you will need a compatible phone instrument

Free phone

Ready to roll with free phone service!- I will post an update to the review if things turn south.

I plugged this into the garage and popped the existing home wiring into the jack so that existing home telephone lines work like they did with expensive phone company

Free phone through Google Voice.

Amazing free phone line for every (well as long as Google voice keeps their service alive)

free phone

Great device for free google phone.

I decided to break my smart phone addiction and go back to using a home phone system

Although the device proved you with free local and national phone calls and gives you many more features, it does not allow to make 911 calls

I'm loving the free phone

phone quality if very good if plug directly to LAN line

Both my Obihai boxes are set up to regular house phones and use a free Google Voice phone number

Gives free voice phone over your internet

Using a Google Voice account which is currently free, with a few steps, google to find out, I'm' not going to go over it here and you can have free phone service

Great IP phone system.

Free phone

Both the phone and fax work well and the calls are crystal clear

I've had Packet 8 and Vonage, which both felt as overpriced as the phone company to me.

(Took about a week to do it all)).Anyway, this device really does work, and does provide "Free" phone service (remember, you still need to have Internet service, after all, for any of this to work).

Last one lasted four years before my free phone service needed new equipment.

Free phone service is always a good thing!

Google Voice's free phone service seemed like the answer, since it supports texting, phone calls, and voice mail, but I didn't want to make phone calls through my computer

It's not a likely problem to come up, but also consider that when the phone goes dead, the ability to call 911 is also disabled

Get free phone call

I found the best service provider to be the callcentric free phone number.

Th Obihai VoIP phone adapter with router is working as promised and is relatively easy to set up for the Obi phone link

I LIKE THE PHONE ADAPTER VERY MUCH

After searching, it seemed the cheapest solution was to use Anveo, which has cheap annual phone costs and can port your old number and has 911.

I highly recommend this phone adapter.

It was a spectacular deal when you had the ability to have an essentially free phone when using Google Voice.

Outgoing calls are also done through google voice (or whichever account you select as the primary) meaning you now have completely free phone service

The answering machine that is a part of my Cordless landline phone will answer in 2 rings and I can hear them leave a message live and pick up the phone before they hang up if I want to talk to them

I will recommend this phone adapter to anyone who wants to get 2 additional phone lines for a one time charge for the OBi202 adapter cost.

Ok, I tried my best to provide as much helpful information as I can on my review of this OBi202 device; and I definitely recommend it to all who are searching for free VoIP phone calls.

When coupled with Google Voice the result is free VOIP phone service.

I ported my house number to a cheap cell phone and ported it again to Google voice.

The set up and account creation via OBi was easy and the phone has been working with our old wireless phones like a dream

It works great with the right phones.

The OBI 202 is still the best deal in town for great phone service, easily controlled by YOU.

Very easy little box to setup, I make free phone calls using google voice

Also, if someone puts you on hold for a reasonable amount of time, MJ hangs up the phone on you

This thing is for people who don't need reliable phone service.

I found this to be more reliable than magic jack with better phone quality and no monthly fees (as long as google voice stays free).

Having used VOIP for many years now, one thing for certain is, ditch the old regular land line and save some money as well as gain flexibility (follow you routing, IP soft phone access etc) in your call routing

Free reliable clear phone calls

I bought a cheap unlocked phone for $20 and then bought a prepaid plan from T-mobile for $10

It is easy to set up and find service provider for free phone calls in US!

I will say that the conversion was a multiple step process that required the purchase of a cheap cell phone to port my land line phone to and then port that phone to GV

Now, this is something else...and by that, I'm saying that I finally found a VoIP phone product that I like.

Compared to the Ooma this device is superior as it allows up to 4 phone numbers (or 3 and 1 e911 service number) without any additional fees

I had the phone ringing my Google Voice number in six.

Free phone number, free calls from Google Voice and a small investment in the OBI unit will save you substantially in the long run

I hooked this box up to my router/modem combo and now have free phone service (I added 911 service for about $15 PER YEAR)

Works great, free phone line with Google voice

Phone is clear and fax is working also.

There is no phone customer service or email support.

The OBI202 phone adapter works better than any of the popular VOIPs out there.

so now we are getting free phone and fax service when before we were paying $29.99 per phone line.

Free phone service

Google voice is the best phone service around...has all the features of phone service with zero cost.

In a world of mobility and costly mobile phone plans, It's refreshing that there is a way to reach out and touch someone for (just about

Free phone with no subscriptions fees with Google Voice.

Best option for a free phone using google voice.

It's cheap, works reliably and google voice service adds lots of features, including receiving my calls and texts on my smart phone.

You can't really complain about a free phone line though.

Item worked as advertized combined this with google voice and works great as a home phone.

What more could you ask for?I used the Panasonic KX-TG7644M DECT 6.0 set for my phones, as originally I thought I could run it through my existing wires, but why do that when you can just buy cordless phones and not mess with it?In short, you can spend the one time fee of ~$75 + 81c a month for 911, or you can pay another company $20 to $30 per month for the rest of your life.

When I hung up the OBi202 phone and stayed on my mobile using Hangouts, I tried to start a new call using the OBi202

As long as you make monthly payments every 30 days, they can't "ding" your credit for receiving a late payment of the ETF, AND they can't lock your phone's IMEI number (phone's serial number/internal ID) so that it can't be used on another carrier

For example, I didn't know that I had to select a "soft phone" get a integrated connection to my cell phone.

I also used Callcentric with a free phone #

Thank you so much for making a product that makes it so easy for us to have free phone service.

The number cannot be the same phone number used to verify any other GV account.

Oh, and I also love paying about 1/10 as much for good VOIP phone service as I used to pay for PSTN service.

so I can get free/cheap phone service

This makers (OBIHAI) assume you have a touchtone phone available

FYI...obitalk has specific instructions on how to use their devices with google voice, to make and receive free phone calls, so what I and others are doing appears to be supported and marketed by obitalk

My mom is not very technical... she can use her Android smart phone and Netflix on her Roku, and though she is not very adept with her laptop or tablet.. she can answer the question "is the blue light on the router

I would not suggest buying or using this unless have a backup phone service available to use if the product is defective.

You must have at least ONE call forwarded to the IPKall number during each 30 day period---otherwise, you may lose the IPKall number on Day 31, because it goes back into 'the system' as an available phone number for new users.

Fantastic option for cheap phone

Then Came to the google shut down scare (people wanted too much from google for a free phone service when they decide to work on their servers one night and the service was down)

Free phone service keeps my business costs low

Works perfect, sound quality is as good as the phone company

I connected it directly to our house so it rings all the phones in our house just like a land line.

Now I have free phone calls via Google Voice and the call quality is fantastic

I already had purchased an annual prepaid smart cell phone for about $120.

With Google Viice and this device I now have a phone system that works as well as any phone I have had

so I can get free/cheap phone service

Sound is just as clear as my Cable Company phone and calls come thru just as fast

Great phone device

I had purchased a new phone number (Google Voice will give you a free random one) and had it ported into my Google Voice account

I left one in the Philippines to allow for free easy phone calls.

The phone is crystal clear and faxes work flawlessly

Now I have absolutely free phone service

So far we have no issues at all using ours, as long as our internet is working, phones are working

It is a free phone sevice

Free phone calls again.

At the suggestion of Obi and many people in their forums, I am going to be porting my number from my VoIP provider to an inexpensive pre-paid T-Mobile phone and then transfer it to Google Voice for a fee of $20.

Free local and long distance phone calls.

This is a very reliable 2-phone line adapter.

As and added bonus i now have a crystal clear phone line

Might be a limitation, but I think it was a phone hardware not initialization issue

We have been enjoying free phone calls for over a year with this little device.

Through a little work I was able to port my landline phone number that I have had for 25 years over to google voice, very nice

Cant go wrong...no more phone bills...excellent voice quality...very easy to setup with google voice...works with fax too...should I write more?

This seriously is the best phone option available, use with google voice, get a few boxes, have a free fax line, phone line that calls all phones and even a phone for your secretary, port them together or buy the upgrade monthly from obi to get tons of added features.best phone buy ever.

The phone works just the same

After days for phone calls and nonsense they finally said they can't provide us with service

Manual updates are simple to install by logging into the web site, so I continue to have free phone service

Enjoy free domestic phone service instead of paying your ISP 20 to 30 a month.

So far this is doing exactly what I hoped it would: we have successfully set this up with a cheap phone and google voice, and we have been able to receive calls and make outgoing calls as if this were a landline (although we have not yet set up any 9-1-1 service).

What a relief to have a 'home' phone again!

Everything went smoothly and quickly, and I was able to add free VOlp phone--as well as 911 emergency service for $12/year--and had all handsets running perfectly last night

I would recommend this for anyone that is looking get VoIP phone service and cut the cord on expensive phone lines.

The voice quality is still excellent with hard wired phone base (which supports 4 wireless phones) connected directly to the OBi202.

The cost of this device will be nominal when you see that you can have up to 4 free phone lines without having to pay a dime

So your IPAD uses the OBI box as a re-dialer for free phone calls from anywhere in the world you have wifi access, with no need for a cell phone service

What's not to like about free phone service

Voice quality, to me, sounds better than my Time Warner cable phone that we had in the house (so far with limited use).Altogether, certainly worth buying and using

I have google Voice home phone now and we bought the e-911 service that is recommended.

so all troubleshooting must by waiting for the appropriate e-mails.

After a few hours on with Phone Power support, and marginal e-mail support from ObiHai, I have concluded there is not a solution, and have canceled my nascent Phone Power account
