Devices that connect old (and new) analog telephones to the internet are nothing new. In fact I was playing with them twenty years ago. But now there are plenty of VOIP providers, many of which are compatible with this Obihai box. Think of these devices as cord cutting devices for your telephone. The Obi200 supports four different services at the same time in addition to its own device-to-device service.

But what really makes this item interesting is its official support for Google Voice. Here in the US Google Voice is completely free of charge with unlimited calling throughout the United States. Replacing your landline service with the Obi200 will save me at least $40 a month on phone service without even factoring in the cost of long distance calls. Those outside the US can choose from a number of services that are also compatible with the device (it should work with most SIP providers).

But Google Voice is more powerful than just a dial tone. Because it can also be configured to filter out and block calls from telemarketers and robo calls. In this video I show you how to set up a process to hand pick who can ring your home phone. Everyone else goes to voicemail.
