The best investment in VOIP. Also - no more electronic noise with new firmwares
By Keen Eye
I had an OBi110 and soon after buying that I heard that OBi202 is going to be released, so I passed on the OBi110 to a friend.This does the job as beautifully as OBI110 did, with great feature of two lines on one little amazing gizmo that OBi202 is. Everything was setup within 5 minutes and it's been great for the short 2 weeks I have had it.Only small hitch I have had is that it produces this little electronic noise which I am told is from the conductors inside, perhaps if I move it away from me (it' at 2 feet right now) it will improve.. It's not too bad but it's there, comes and goes.Have not tried fax yet, but love the clean little gizmo that this is.Edit: Actually the noise is becoming annoying. I still haven't gotten rid of my VOIP.. Will call OBI tomorrow again, and might return if they say this is expected. OBI110 never had thisEdit2: I just hooked up 2nd GV line to Obi202. It did not take the 2nd line easily, i.e., although I added all of GV infor just like the 1st GV line Obi202 somehow did not connect 2nd GV account. I called the Support and the folks there were extremely friendly, called me back in 15 minutes and told me they fixed the setup at their end on my ObiTalk setup page. It's been working like a champ since then. I am changing my rating to a 4 Star now as the slight noise is still slightly unacceptable.BTW, I also transferred my VOIP line to T-Mo and then to GV, I would say it was well worth the $20 + .99 cents I spent on the whole transfer process :)Edit3: I am coming back to make it a 5 star review. Afetr moving my obi device behind my monitor somewhere with other 'stuff' like KVM, USB hub etc etc.. I do not hear the noise any more at all. Maybe it was the angle where the obi202 was placed before that caused the pitch the way it was coming. Wife agrees too that there is no noise anymore.And both mine and my wife's GV numbers on this one little device are going great. There is a very ocacsional lag but I believe that is because our broadband (though 35mbps) gets overloaded every now and then with the Google TVs, and laptop, tablet and what not runing all the time :)Edit4: I had to come back and change the subjct line, there is no more electronic noise with the new firmware.Highly recommended !!

simply amazing!
By Mr. T
I was looking at the previous version (Obi110) but decided to go with this newer one. But if you want to save money, go with Obi110. It should work as great.It is the same thing except this one can handle up to 2 phones and it has a better design.Okay, if you are familiar w/ Google Voice, it will take you less then 5 minutes to set it up.Super easy and straight forward. I had it set up in 5 minutes and my home phone is working like a charm :)Now I hooked 2 GoogleVoice numbers on this thing. You have the option to add up to 4 numbers for incoming call (with only one phone!!) and up to 2 numbers for the outgoing call (by using 2 phones, one phone for each outgoing number).Now I save $40 every month with this baby.The sound quality is great! Call in, call out w/ no problem. Of course, you need the working internet for this to work properly.Couldn't be happier with this purchase. ^_^

Simple
By looperz
I like the idea and think it deserves all 5-stars. It is simple to get up and working and has a lot of advanced features for those who just want to tinker around. I am not using the router portion just as a 4/2 line service. When you go into expert mode it is truly expert related, I enjoy it but it could definitely cause problems for other users that get themselves lost. Can connect to google voice as a provider or use a SIP account with custom settings. Can also modify the dialplans and add trunks to another pbx or something.Now just because it got all 5-start doesn't mean it perfect. It could use an interface update and the local configuration could match the online one even be the same, that threw me for a loop the first time. Although it seems nice I don't like the configure via obitalk's website at all. A couple time it didn't sync right away or didn't even sync at all. I have had a couple calls to myself where I have had some delayed audio, not sure if that is going to be an issue or not, so far not. Also a little clunky with how to switch between the four Service providers (having to do **2 for SP2) would have liked something easier but who knows might be able to change that with expert mode.The unit easy to setup and connect to a phone, pbx, or whatever you want, change dialplans or add trunks. The box is pretty cool and I hope they get some competition to create more simple SOHO/home devices like this.
