My $0/Month and $0.00/Per Minute Landline Phone.

@Rebecca:
Should work.

@Abe:
Never heard of GV not servicing an area. Where do you live??

@Saul:
It can be with any carrier and it should be straightforward.

@shlomo:
I don’t think so as it plugs into your modem.

@Heshy:
This will give you a US number, it will need it’s own phone.
It’s been free for a couple of years now, hopefully it stays free forever!

@Meir:
Of course.

@moe:
Correct.

@Saul:
You can port the number to a cheap prepaid cell phone and from there to Google Voice/OBi.

@Slick:
Absolutely nothing for most people.
Read through the comments if you want to get technical.

@Marks:
If I’m understanding this comment correctly that is simply untrue.

You can definitely port your landline number to the obi100, just like you can to the obi110, via a cheap prepaid cell phone you can pick up for $10. Or you can port your cell phone number to either as well.

Now if you want to keep both your landline and your obi and run them both through the obi then you need the 110 model.

But for most people, myself included, the 100 does everything you need it to do for free calling and for porting your number to it.

@Me, Of-Course!:
Awesome!

@Adina:
I find call quality to be very good.

@Marks:
What do you mean by line porting?

@hudi:
I’m seeing $43.99

It does not work with my MFC 240C, I cannot send faxes but I can receive them fine. Anyone got any ideas?

@usher:
Sure.

@usher:
You would need to port your number to a prepaid cell phone and then to Google Voice.
It’s been discussed in earlier comments.

@Sholom:
Happy to help, enjoy!

@mo:
It won’t work as far as I know as you need your own router and internet connection.

@Yitz:
You need Google Voice.

@Yitz:
I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to hook up multiple OBis to the same router.

@Dovid:
Yes.

@Naftoli:
No, your Google Voice online voicemail will pick it up.

@mo:
No, you need your own router.

@Levi:
It doesn’t seem like any major differences to me.

@Mark:
I set it up like that for my grandparents and it appears to work just fine.

@DGuy:
Standard free shipping works fine. You just need to select “FREE Super Saver Shipping.”
Plus they don’t even charge tax for NY!

@DGuy:
When you add the device to your cart be sure it says “Sold by Obihai Technology, Inc. and Fulfilled by Amazon”

Why can’t people read previous comments?
-It works with any regular phone.
-It makes regular incoming and outgoing calls.
-Calls are free from anywhere in the world to US and Canada numbers.
-You can call international numbers for very little per minute. Israel is 2 cents per mnute to landlines and 10 cents for cell phones. All rates are here: https://www.google.com/voice/rates
-You can only port a cell phone number to Google, so if you want another number you’ll have to first port it to a prepaid cell service (page plus, att, tmobile, etc) and then port it to google.
-It costs nothing per month after you buy the machine.
-You don’t need any other phone service, just broadband (DSL/FIOS/Cable) internet service.
-You do not need a computer.
-You do not need a phone jack.

@Aussie:
Yes.

@jack:
I don’t know what nettalk is, but this does not require a computer either.

@Anonymous:
This works with Cable or DSL.

@TZvee:
Google gives you a free US number and Obi allows you to use that number on any telephone as long as you have a modem.

Remember this must be set up in the US first before it will work in Israel.

Enjoy!

Costing for dsl and internet? Huh? dsl is internet access so I’ve got no clue what you’re talking about.

Anyway you can have a computer and obi110 share a modem of course. And you can use any telephone.

@Rediplus:
It will work with Fios/DSL/Cable.
You don’t need to plug into regular jacks for it to work.

The obi110 allows me to use my landline phone as a regular phone. Nothing is plugged into my computer, you don’t even need a computer.
You plug a landline phone and your internet modem into the obi110 and it works like a regular phone, but with no bills and free incoming and outgoing calls.

You need to set this up in the US, but once its set up in the US you can use it anywhere in the world.

@Abe Da Babe:
Have to agree, it is 100% amazing!

Try this tutorial:

In step 7, the username and password is admin.
Let us know when you set it up!

@Srulzz:
Yes, you can have GV forward to another number. Then it would ring the other number as well as you landline.
It can ring as many numbers as you want.
Or you can just have it ring one of them, your choice.

@eli:
I would guess that 768 may be a bit too slow for a good connection.

@DMI:
It needs to be exactly $69.99 for the $20 coupon to work. It was that price for a while last night, but is dead for now.

@Anonymous:

Life in the small city…

@Anonymous:
The ooma is much more expensive, doesn’t work with your google voice number, and there is a monthly charge with ooma after 12 months.

@David:
With a phone this is the easiest way.

@moshe:
Please read the previous comments.

@Anonymous:
$29 cable for me.

@joe:

@Eli:
No idea about faxing, but it works fine even without a computer being on as I already wrote in the post.

@David:
The OBi100 won’t support an additional line-in for a landline jack or other voip device.

They both will work with google voice just fine.

@ari:
You can port your home number to an AT&T gophone: http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/11757

Then you can port any mobile number to Google Voice for $20.

@Hyshai:
It’s $0 per month and 0 cents per minute.
My post is pretty explicit that you still need to buy a $43.99 or $49.99 device to make it work along with broadband internet.

@reb dan plz help:
It’s possible that if you login to a gmail account in the US with google voice that it will then work abroad.

If it doesn’t work abroad then you can have someone keep you logged into gmail in the US and then the device should work anywhere int he world. Or you can get 2 OBi devices and have 1 in the US and another where you are and that should work.

@yakov:
I have cable, but it should work with any broadband internet.
