Obi seems intent on building a periodic fee (possibly annual) into the use of Obi products. See, e.g., http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30090211-Obihai-sucks-buyers-paid-for-Google-Voice-now-they-want-more
So I’m paying phone power for nothing!
I thought the whole free Gv thing went away since they closed the api or something like that.
They are back on?
Wow. Just saw this. http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/51581
I have nothing against shmulie, but I thought HT’s aren’t given for lightning deals. Just Curious.

Dan,
How does it work with OBi using google voice? Do you hear a fake dial tone like with Vonage, ooma, etc?
Thanks.
can i use it as add on with obi 110?
One thing to note, if your home phone has an answering system it will be ignored as any unanswered calls go to gv. I’ve scoured the internet looking for a solution but so far I haven’t found one and my phone answering machine sits idle 🙁
@yitz: Just reduce the number of rings your machine picks up on so it’s less than the gv voicemail. This will only help for missed calls not for missed calls while you’re on the phone or when some1 calls while you’re connecting to a call those would go straight to voicemail.
I have a mifi, will it use up a lot of data
anyone know how to setup the fax line?
