So, I haven't messed with VoIP services. Are you saying that, depending on your service, you could have a free phone service once you pay up front? Mom always forgets her phone somewhere or nobody will answer their cellphone. If I could put this in her house, I might be able to get ahold of someone.
you can hook this up with a google voice number and a cordless phone and as long as you have wifi, GV service is free.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Been using mine for the home office, been rock solid since day 1.

1) Buy this box
2) Sign up for Google Voice [google.com]
3) Register your new box and connect Google Voice [youtube.com]
4) Optional: Sign up for 911 service [gv911.com] if you need it

I am using this phone [amazon.com] as a wired desk phone with a good speakerphone.

Yes she could. That is what this is for. She would need to port her number to Google Voice first though.

You can have Google Voice ring the house phone connected to this device and at the same exact time ring her cell phone. This way, no matter where she is at, she can answer one of the phones.

Google Voice will be discontinued shortly by Obihai and "force" customers to subscribe with Obihai service instead. That's why they're clearing their stocks.

There has been absolutely no indication that they are planning to do anything like that.

The box also supports a multitude of VOIP services. Google voice is just printed on the front.

Anyone use this for faxing? I have an Obi100 sitting in a box I bought literally a decade ago but I never got around to setting up. I assume it's too outdated now to bother with.

you can extend it days if you are willing to make some modifications, check this out [youtube.com]
My experience with consumer grade UPSs is they drain their batteries within an hour or two even with nothing plugged in. Unless you add external batteries, they are pretty ill-suited to powering network and telecommunications equipment during an extended power outage. With POTS going away, you'd think there would be a better solution available off the shelf without the need for hacking stuff together. A special UPS for such equipment with an efficient DC-DC converter that outputs common voltages used by this type of equipment would be ideal.

Some great information in here so thanks to all who have given us VOIP newbs great information. I have a house in the mountains where I live and work from about 60% of the time. I'm thinking about VoIP vs installing a landline so this is helpful.

Another option is to buy a Tesla Powerwall along with your Tesla solar panels. Then you will have more than enough power to last you the night without having to dip into the public electrical system.
Terrible time to buy an expensive PW w/ cheaper & larger battery solutions coming soon especially mobilized bidirectional (e. g. Ford Lightning, likely cybertruck)
