• Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

    Obihai Gigabit IP Phone - Up to 24 Lines - Built-In WiFi and Bluetooth - Support for Google Voice and SIP-Based Services (OBi1062)

    • Easy setup.
    • The basic setup is fine for most people, but I personally always use expert because I find it easier
    • The OBiTalk website does feature a couple of "preferred" VOIP providers beyond just Google Voice with similarly easy-seeming setup options if those features are desired
    • Setup for my Google Voice number was easy through the OBiTalk website (remember to enable call forwarding to Google Chat under GV classic settings), with no need to muck around with the cryptic detailed settings available by browsing to the phone itself
    • Basic setup was fast and easy with Goggle Voice and OBiTalk
    • But the phone looks great, the setup was easy and most importantly the call quality is solid
    • It does not have voicemail on the phone, but has a voicemail indicator that will turn red when you have a voicemail if the VOIP service that you are using supports voicemail notification (Google Voice doesn't, but CallCentric does).Although the basic functional setup is very easy, the 1062 is incredibly versatile and has numerous other settings that basically require a degree in SIP protocols to understand.
    • Once I talked to someone that knew how to do it, it became obvious very quickly, and then as always the case, setup was a breeze.
    • Great phone easy setup, sound is awesome.
    • Setup was extremely easy and intuitive
    • If you are just setting it up alone with Google Voice or another SIP company, the setup is a breeze.
    • Easy setup, although I am an IT person, it should be straight forward enough for anyone to do it
