Details: | Obihai Voice-over-IP Devices for Your Home: Many people have disconnected the wire and use mobile phones and computers to make calls, but if you are someone who still enjoys having a home/cordless phone, there are some good options that use Voice-over-IP.
The above devices will require a voice-over-IP (VoIP) service. Someone can just use a free Google Voice account to make and receive calls for free without paying for VoIP today, however direct Google Voice as a VoIP service will stop working as of May 15. This means the OBi products will require a paid VoIP service to work with a Google Voice account. One VoIP service you can use is CallCentric (reviews). CallCentric has Pay-Per-Minute plans which will let you make calls and receive calls at about $2/mo plus around 1¢ to 2¢ per minute of phone usage (around $1/hour). Other similar services compatible with the OBi devices are:
So if you buy an OBi device for $38-60, you can get home phone service for around $2 to $6 per month (with E911 service). A good alternative is an Ooma device which costs $128 and gives you basic phone service for free (plus about $4 in monthly taxes). The disadvantage of Ooma is you are locked in to Ooma service, not a problem if the Ooma service looks good to you, but the OBi would let you switch VoIP carriers whenever you dislike the service. |
