NO 911 provided by Google Voice
BACK IN-STOCK !!
911 Service Providers:
Anveo - .80 cents per month www.anveo.com

The cheapest way to port your number from landline to GV is via T-Mobile. They will port your landline number to TMo for free. They will also mail you a prepaid SIM with 10mins for free to do the porting. SD link here for the TMo card: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/8...r-or-micro

The free promotion is still going. Currently it's $9 discounted to free for the regular SIM. I inserted it into my unlocked AT&T phone for the port process, but should work with any unlocked GSM phone. From TMo to Google will cost you $20.

Some useful information about OBi

• Even though Google Voice don't have E911 support, you can signup for E911 yourself
  Link to How to set-up 911 calling on an OBi device

  • Cheapest E911 provider is Anveo (at $0.8/month) http://www.anveo.com/service.asp (FREE plan and add E911)
  • If you are switching from POTS to Obi or other voip services, in many states the old phone line will remain active for calling 911. You just leave your phone connected and they disabled outgoing calls at the phone company computers.
  • if you do not want to 'dedicate' a SIP slot for E911, you can use http://www.gv911.com/ - costs $12/year
  • www.smart911.com - Smart911 is a free service that allows citizens across the U.S. to create a Safety Profile for their household that includes any information they want 9-1-1 to have in the event of an emergency. Then, when anyone in that household dials 9-1-1 from a phone associated with their Safety Profile, their profile is immediately displayed to the 9-1-1 call taker providing additional information that can be used to facilitate the proper response to the proper location.

===========================

Is there an expiry for this promo code? Thanks.

Monday, Jan 28.

$40 is cheap for this model. When this product debut two years ago, it was sold out at fast $50.

For those in the know... recommend this (or it's more expensive cousins) as the cheapest/best method for VOIP?

I currently pay ITP $15.07 a month ($9.99 +. taxes) for my VOIP landline and am pretty happy - good quality - 911 (important), voicemail, blacklists, etc work well.

But if I can get the same service for a bit cheaper I wouldn't mind trying one of these things... is it worth it to make the switch?

It took a full 2 years for this to only go down $10?

it's that good :)

mine has been up for close to 2 years now I think. not a single issue. Use it as home phone

I don't think you have 911 if you use google voice, but it's free (nothing a month) and don't you have a cellphone with you anyway for 911?

Thx OP!

I had to give my a few nights sleep to get this 2 years. Get it. By the way,GV is still giving free US/Canada calling for 2013?

Even though I don't have landline service it still is possible to dial 911 using the landline. That's why I bought this model. 911 is automatically routed through POTS and everything else through Google Voice. Call quality is very good.

So check your landline because you may be able to use it for 911. Sometimes the phone company will disconnect your line at the interface box on the side of your house, but it's easy to reconnect.

For those concerned with 911:
I have the OBI 100, I just pay $0.80 a month for 911 service.

Voice quality on the OBI 100 + GV has been perfect. Been using it for almost 5 months.

I thought phone companies are required to provide you with 911 service even if you don't have service with them?

What service are you using for 911?

ohh..I got this at Amazon last week for 48.99( delivered yesterday) and Amazon does not price match products other than TV's . Any way to get my $9 back ?

Buy it from Newegg and return it to Amazon. You'll probably have to pay return shipping though since the return wasn't due to Amazon's error.

I think so too, but several people have told me that their line was disconnected at the interface box. If you live in a house it's easy enough to plug it back in, but in an apartment you probably won't have access to it.

is google voice promised to be free through 2013? i know they keep saying it will be free until said date and then extend...just curious how much free guaranteed google voice i'll be able to use with this...

Yes, they extended it.

With googlevoice, caller id won't show the name of the caller, right? I know you can add their name to your address book and it will. I'm looking into this for my parents. i know my mom would be upset if she didnt see names.

Google voice only shows the number. I believe you would have to input all phone numbers and names into your phones memory for it to show the name. Or you can do this: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/inde...pic=3640.0.

I think he uses http://www.anveo.com/service.asp
Free plan with E911 $0.80/month.

Bought 1..thanks OP

Question for those that use one with GV.

What happens when you get a text message at the GV number? I imagine that you can still have GV email you the text message but does obihai do anything with them?


thx

Right... obihai doesn't do anything with text messages.. you will get them forwarded to your email/cell phone if you have them setup. Or if you are using google voice app on your smartphone, you will have your text messages pop up there. Bottom line, no changes to how you receive your text messages

Cool, thanks.. I need to get one soon.. this should help

May I ask a sort of related question? Reading reviews it seems when the device is configured with google voice the user's google chat status shows online and away 24/7/365. Is that accurate or have they overcome that issue? Or perhaps the reviewer did not properly configure the device? Thanks in advance!!!

Finally took the plunge on this. SO done with MagicCrap! Thanks OP & repped!

Would plugging it back in affect anything? My telco unplugged it in order to provide me with VoIP service so I assume it needs to be unplugged for quality voice service(?).

Yes, I should have added that. If you have it set up so your VoIP is connected to your home phone wiring don't reconnect it at the interface box. The voltage from the POTS can really screw up your equipment.

In my setup I connected a cordless phone to the Obi110 and then have extra handsets around the house. The only things connected to the POTS are the Obi and an emergency phone I keep plugged in to call 911 in case the power is out and the Obi is off.

Anveo

http://www.anveo.com/

you have to add a $10 credit at first, and it takes out .80 cents a month.


Edit: Someone already posted it lol.

code expires 1/28 :)

Use a separate Google account for this. I have heard of problems where calls are dropped if the user signs on to Google chat while someone is calling using this device with Google voice.

I bought this yesterday morning for my sister, but then she changed her mind and got a MagicJack.I could return it to Newegg but I'd be out for return shipping and restocking fee. Anybody in the Riverside CA or Inland Empire area want it for $40? You save a few bucks and don't have to wait for shipping.

Lot of credit cards now offer price match feature. Check if your CC has that benefit and file a claim.

Just refuse the shipment and it will be sent back to Newegg and you will receive a refund.

Anyone using this with Callcentric? I'm having a heluva time configuring my obi100 to work. Got my old SR Innomedia ATA working w/ the voip service no problem, but would prefer to use Obi.

How easy is the setup with GV ? Do i get a number with adapter or i need to create a new GV account for this and link it. Can someone explain.
Thanks.

sorry newbie here...so what's the difference between this & ooma & magicjack?

Price is major one.

Great deal. I have the 100 and it works perfectly. Especially good if you have bad cell service in your home.

simple. create a new google voice account, choose a free phone number, create an obi account, pair the obi110 (pickup the phone and dial a special number), go through wizard to connect to google voice, takes 5 clicks at most. done.

so free calls for gv still eh? sweet!

does anyone know how long google voice will still be free? or if they are gunna charge for it?

Free for 2013, they could charge in 2014... or not.

Sorry but this product is over-rated.
From my experience OBi100 is a pain to troubleshoot once you start running into issues. If it doesn't break, good for you...it's awesome.

I bought a year ago...was running fine for 8 months then all of a sudden the connection drops and I see a red light on my OBi100 device. Spent 2 weeks trying to troubleshoot and even bought a new modem. No luck. Returned it for a replacement since I had purchased it in less than one year.

Problem is the new replacement also stopped working after exactly 1 week. I'm someone who receives like 2-3 calls on a good day...so I can't understand how it can just stop working when there's minimal activity going on.

Anyways this was 4 months ago, since then I have spent every weekend for about 30 minutes trying to research and troubleshoot this once likable device.

Unfortunately I'm a newbie to this and I haven't had any success fixing it so I cannot possibly recommend to anyone like me.

Since all the reviews are from people who haven't had any issues...I would like to hear from someone who had an issue (like the red light thing) and has it working since.


TL;DR I have 2 unusable OBi100 devices at home and this month I sold my soul to the devil (Comcast) just to spare me from the the agony of my never-ending troubleshooting OBi woes.

MagicJack works OK the problem is once your year is up trying to RENEW is next to IMPOSSIBLE!!

It's ridiculously easy. It walks you, step by step...damn near click by click.

It actually comes with instructions that are specific to GV. You do not get a number with the adapter. You will have to provide one from GV.

You do NOT need a SIP phone. You can use any phone to plug in and get dialtone.

Hack the Jack son. Hack the Jack.

As for the OBi110. I got one a couple of months back. Works, mostly, like a charm. If you turn it on and leave it on, works perfectly. I turn mine off at night to save power. 9/10 times, it's back up in seconds. 1/10 times though. It takes like 5 mins to work itself out. I just ended up putting it on a timer, I don't even think about it. Voice quality is just as good as a real phone. Way better than using Google Voice on my laptop for some reason. GrooveIP sounds like a string and tin can in comparison.

What service for 911?

Question. I currently have a landline phone and I want to discontinue its service due to price. So I want to get the obi. If I switch to the obi + gv, will I be able to use my current landline phone number (after I cancel my current service)?

Also, question about how to set up my phones. So I have 3 landline phones, 2 in rooms, 1 in the living room. I'm assuming the way to set up a phone is router <ethernet> obi <phone plug> telephone. But I only see two telephone jacks on the obi. So does that mean I can only connect two phones max? Also, does that mean I need to do some crazy rewiring in my house?

I don't know how you do it but I have 2 OBi100 devices that are just sitting at home collecting up dust. Stopped working after 8 months and hasn't worked since.

My only issue is not this device, but GV related. I use GV for Visual Voicemail on my Android Phone, once I got this product, I cant seem to call home with my Cell as it goes straight to voicemail thinking I am calling to check it, not sure how to fix this without possibly getting another GV number with a separate account. Other than that, this product works great, I have the 100.

As others have said, when UPS comes, refuse it. Or, if they leave it at the door, whatever you do, don't open it up and take it to a UPS store or elsewhere to return.

At least you won't be out a return shipping fee. Restocking fee, I don't know.

The status of my google account on the obi is idle (orange icon) and says voice only.

So how many watts do you think you're saving every night?


Google Voice is giving BarHawkaphone a run for its money.

Anyone using net talk? My renewal will be up in few months and I'm thinking about getting this one instead. $30+tax for nettalk yearly plan which about the same as purchasing this adapter. If I get this one, am I able to use it with my security alarm company? I figure 911 call is not so important because I have hot button on the alarm box to call the security company.

Yes, you can port your number from your landline provider to google voice.

Also, you need to port the number out PRIOR to disconnecting / cancelling service.

what if one does not want to run this OBi through GV? Is there a dependable VOIP service that I can run this with month per month?

This is great question. I think if you remove your cell number from Google voice account, it should take care the issue. But I'm not certain since my android phone actually integrated with my Google account.

As someone in the dialtone provider business, I would suggest you have your security alarm serviced by dialtone provided from a simple copper pots loop. Do not use voip.

first things first, you cant port your phone number to google voice directly. in order to do that you would need to get a prepaid cell phone. i followed a guide similar to this, http://primebranding.com/transfer...agic-jack/

ported my vonage number to an at&t go phone (which cost $15 at walmart), added $15 credit to the phone so at&t would port the number (waited 3 days for that to complete), then paid $20 to port this to google voice (which took another day to port). hooked up the obi after a week of waiting for numbers to port and within 5 minutes i had a dial tone to my old (ported) number. that easy

as for the multiple phones, its quite easy. if you have your own house, simply disconnect where the plain old telephone line connects to your home wiring, then plug the phone output on the obi into any regular old telephone wall jack in the house. this will spread the obi signal to any phone in the house and give all your phones dial tone. this is the way i have it done in my house

Free plan with E911 $0.80/month.

or

to redirect 911 to a local ten digit emergency number

http://www.obitalk.com/forum/inde...opic=339.0

I have had my OBI + GV for about 6 months and have had zero problems or issues. Call quality is outstanding and I often have people comment on the other line about how strong and clear it sounds. Since Google Voice came out and said it's free through 2013, there's really no reason not to get this.

Also, we add money to the Google Voice account so my wife can use it to call her relatives in Thailand, and it costs either 2 cents or 3 cents a minute, depending if she's calling a land line or cell phone. It's cheaper and less hassle than her having to buy a phone card and use her cell phone (which was an issue before as she didn't have unlimited minutes). Her family says they can hear her like she's calling locally, so she's very happy with this setup.

My Android phone is my VOIP. Your tablet can be a VOIP too.

Right now the Vonage app is free and can call any phone number. TalkATone and of course Google Talk is free too.

How many do I think or how many do I know? I metered it. 5 watts while idling. Not a lot but why waste it? The timer uses so little as not be measurable.

The OBi202 is like 30 bucks more!

How does this compare with the Ooma Telo? I'm moving to Japan, and want to have the ability to talk to family back in the States for cheap. If not free, if my parent's & in-laws get the same device. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I have both the Obi110 and Obi202 and can say that the 202 is much more reliable and clearer

Are you active duty or civil service?

But, 202 doesn't have line port which 110 has... it has it's uses for some folks

The OBi110 works great. It can use GV, but even if GV goes paid. OBi has their own service so that you can call other OBi devices for free. Does Ooma have that?

Thx and repped. Sounds like it disables google chat functionality for the associated google account when the Obi is running. Gonna have to think about this...

anveo.com

also, added to Wiki since i've been asked 4 times already lol :)

People still don't read the wiki.

Does this need to be in front of the router or can it be behind? Our Ooma only works when in front of our router so some wondering about this device.

I find that anytime my Obi starts acting up, there is usually a firmware update available on the Obi Dashboard. I just run the update and everything works great again. I've had the unit for over 2 years now and it works well.

This runs behind the router. I am actually currently running it off a 4-port switch connected to my router since I am out of open ports on the router.

I'm assuming when you say front, you meant modem->router->obi. If so, then yes, this need to be in front of router. Obi110 only has one network port

Edit: Obviously, I got it wrong.. modem->router->obi means behind the router... so, this obit110 needs to be behind the router

This device plus callcentric (callcentric.com) provides me with 500 min/mo of crystal clear talk, voicemail, 911 service, and more bells & whistles for $8/mo. Very happy with with this device and the recommendation on Callcentric.com from SD's last November.

I have both the OOMA core (the one that has no monthly taxes fees) and Obihai.
OOMA is better... but not enough to justify the huge difference in price.

For your case, since you will be overseas, it doesn't make sense to spend so much money on an OOMA and considering the time zone difference, you probably won't be on the phone that much to make getting one worthwhile. For the casual chatting, Obihai is more than enough. However, you will need to keep in mind that you cannot sign up for a Google Voice number out of the country. You'll need to sign up for it before you leave the country (or use a proxy).

You don't need to get your parents/in-laws one too but it's a good idea to get at least one of them one in case Google Voice stops working one day. If that ever happens, you will still have the ability to call each other by dialing the 9 digit number on the bottom of the device. You'll also be able to call that device, and use the phone attached to it to call someone else in that local area (circle of trust). I currently have this set up with the in-laws in another country. We can call each other, and on top of that, I can use their landline to call someone else from that country. They can call any number in the U.S. for free.




Runs behind router. If your OOMA doesn't work behind your router, you have port forwarding issues. If you have a ddwrt compatiable router, flash the VOIP version. It might fix your problem.

Active Duty

I believe if all members have the same device (in this case Ooma) then the calls are free. According to their website you have to pay monthly fees & taxes. Plus GV is an add-on feature though.

The cheapest way to port your number from landline to GV is via T-Mobile. They will port your landline number to TMo for free. They will also mail you a prepaid SIM with 10mins for free to do the porting. SD link here for the TMo card: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/8...r-or-micro

The free promotion is still going. Currently it's $9 discounted to free for the regular SIM. I inserted it into my unlocked AT&T phone for the port process, but should work with any unlocked GSM phone. From TMo to Google will cost you $20.

Detailed port instructions here for the rest of the porting process, direct from Obihai: http://www.obihai.com/porttutorial.html

I did this last year and it's the best thing I ever did for home phone. Some other notes:

This model, actually both 100/110, are hard-wire only. Meaning your router, Obi, and phone have to be wired together. I bought the Obi 202 model (search Amazon) which allows it to be wireless from your home router. Yes it's more expensive, but compromises had to be made (read: the wife says the main handset has to stay in the kitchen). The 202 model plus the wifi dongle will set you back about $85 from Amazon. That said, the 202 can still only connect to one handset/base. I connect the Obi to my main phone and secondary handsets feed off of it. If all of your handsets are independent you would need to buy a multi-handset phone for this to work well.

For 911 service my metro area supports E911 (https://www.smart911.com/) so I'm covered there for free. 911 service was a requirement since we have kids. Cellular 911 isn't reliable since they have no way of locating you with your cell. At best they could try to triangulate your location with cell towers, but that's useless in a 50-100 home subdivision. GPS isn't available for 911, at least not in my area. E911 isn't as good as locating you via landline but you at least register a profile so it pops up when you call them which is better than nothing.

Last, it would be wise to use a separate GMail account for the Obi. If GMail is up and running on a PC there are known issues with routing incoming calls thru the Obi. Not a big deal, I set up a dedicated GMail account just for the Obi and get the voicemails on my cell phone.

Edit: Added Landline porting instructions/links above to the Wiki.

Who says you have to pay fees?

Get Ooma instead.

/thread

If I already have GV (US number) do you know if I can make free calls from Japan to the US for free?

Do you have a tutorial or have a reference on where I can set this up? Appreciate the help!

Help me OBi110, you're my only hope.

Ooma does: http://www.ooma.com/products/taxes-fees

I would go with OBi then. I haven't paid them a cent since buying the device.

any guide on how to set up the Obi110 with Anveo.com??
thank you

Cell and Obi Conflict?
 

That's my question, too. Would be nice not to have to set up a separate GV account (although I suppose I would survive the endeavor).

Thanks OP and SD (and Newegg). This one's been on the radar for a good while. Got one for me and one for the STBX.

I concur on the GV quality. I thought I would have a few problems with call quality but mine has been stellar. I actually cannot believe how well it works with GV and GV is free all year for sure.:heart:

[QUOTE=The WalL;57061218]Bought 1..thanks OP[/QUOTE

You did the right thing. I waited too long..

Yes it's all free. Beauty if VOIP is it's all through the internet. It's as free as sending an email to someone. It doesn't care where you're calling from. All google voice knows is that you have a U.S. number and you're dialing another U.S. number (which is free)

Setup is simple.

http://www.obihai.com/googlevoice.html

I do recommend that if you get one for the parents/in-laws, you sign up for an OBItalk account and link all the devices to that account. That account allows you to configure their obi devices remotely should they ever run into issues. This has saved me a trip overseas to fix the in-law's device.

Also note, an OBItalk account assigns you a 9 digit obinetwork number that you can use to call someone else with an obi device. Android has an obi app. You can use it to call other obi devices as well.

For those of you planning on using the Obi110 with the POTS port for E911 after terminating your POTS land line service. Keep in mind that E911 will only remain on after you terminate your POTS line if you live in an area where it is required by law. After terminating your POTS land line, check to see if you still have a dial tone. If no dial tone, then no E911, and the Obi110 POTS port is of no use. But if your lucky, and you still have a dial tone, then connect your active line to the POTS port on the Obi110 and 911 calls will automatically be routed through your POTS line and all other calls through Google Voice.

dang, out of stock!!!!

I have this device and wanted to move from FIOS telephone to this device. I do have a GV number but need to keep the home phone # I have with FIOS.

-What recurring costs will I have?
-Should I follow the T-Mobile method in the Wiki to get the phone # ported?

As far as 911 goes, my wife and I both have cell phones, so I think that should cover emergencies.

It was actually pretty simple. If i could only remember how thought lol

Google Voice will be 100% free for you. I think it'll take your *.mil address and authorize you for free service in Japan. If you were going there to teach English or to work for a company either japanese or America, you would have to pay albeit it is a very good rate, but you'd still pay.

Deleted

I may have gotten the last one. Bought at 4:20 and the wiki was marked sold out shortly thereafter. Anyway, thanks OP!

I can't believe I missed it again ;(

I had an issue last year, but can't remember the details. I deleted all the con fig and possible factory reset and firmwareupdate and has been solid since

Why pay $3.80 per month rather then $0 GV?

Is there any reason that the Obi POTS line can't be hardwired back into the house wiring to allow all phones to use existing jacks (ie, Comcast EMTA setup)?

Because a true Slickdealer, like myself, pays $0 a month with Ooma.

Ooma Core:
If you purchase an "Ooma Core" (Hub + Scout package) and activate it now, you can still avoid taxes and fees. However, if you only buy the Hub, you will pay the same taxes and fees as though you're buying the newer generation Ooma device.

get that,but where do you get "core" nowadays? you only have telo choice.

eBay has them from time to time for a reasonable amount. Currently they are @ $250 though =/ Got mine back in the day for $100 and have had 0 issues. Top notch household quality.

So, I guess you summed it up. The deal you got can't be replicated at this time or in near future and why would some one pay $250 instead of $50?

I'll try that out tomorrow, thanks for the tip.

You don't have to buy the version I got. You can get a Telo for Free and pay tax a month. But how do you do that? Well, you can recycle ink @ Staples for 6 months. Coulda got in on their Giftcard/CC deal last month and with 3 addresses had $450. But wait, you can't replicate those either? Neither can you on this dead deal :yummy:

LMAO. I have obi110+ooma hub+ tax. I am trying to get rid of the tax by moving to GV....and by the way I am on top of all the Staples deals...you can tell cuz I am premier. :lol:

Not so simple, bubba. Don't dish advice if it will mislead hundreds or thousands (like a bad virus). In general, GV will only receive texts originated from actual cell phones. Any other source (e.g., alerts, etc.) get blocked and trashed without you knowing. Big problem.

The thing is, we're tired of wasting money on "the dialtone provider business" that you're in. VoIP will gleefully kill it, and works fine with security systems.

No, it doesn't. Please don't mislead hundreds or thousands with lazy assumptions.

:bounce:

So now that this deal is dead, can anyone recommend if it's better to go with the obi100 for $40, or the obi110 for $50?

That sucks. how much are you paying for your pots tn? just curious.

Newegg is selling the OBi110 again!

Same deal as before.

I got one this time!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!! I won woooo! I did! Yes!

obi100 was $50 this is obi110
 

this is wrong. Obi100 MRP is $50. Obi110 was 85 dollars
