VOIP Phone Deals For Earth Day from OOMA and MagicJack & OBI200 Update If You Own One

So I was going to suggest that someone buy a OBI200 because they work well and are free but when I visited the JungleShopping Site to find one they weren't selling them. I decided to check Polycom because they bought them and the devices aren't to be found. Eventually I went to obitalk.com and saw a notice that the devices are no longer being sold and that support will end in December 2023 and maybe there is a possibility they will continue working for some unknown and undisclosed period of time. Yeah thats just sketchy to not send out notices to users. At least I didn't get one.

ANYWAY I do have a MagicJack from many years back. Not sure it works but I went to their site to look for prices

MagicJack is having an Earth Day Sale $35 for the device and 1 year of service. After that 1 year of service is $43 and 3 years of service is $109. You also get an App to use with the device.

OOMA is also having an Earth Day Sale of up to $50 off their devices. Up To meaning only one of their more expensive devices has that discount but you can get.
The OOMA TELO for $79.99 from their site or for $69.99 from Best Buy.

And for the OBI200 users
Although the device might stop working with Google Voice it may continue to work with other providers if that provider does not make changes to their use after Dec 2023. This can happen if the provider changes their login method or something else that requires a Firmware Update for the Hardware.

And if and when the OBI200 device does stop working you will still be able to receive and make calls using the Google Voice App or Web Options.

But you should make sure that you have all of your contacts updated now so that you can contact them using your cell phone number and your google voice number just in case you have a situation during the transition.

ObiTalk was purchased by Polycom who was then purchased by HP
