Mmmm, Rolo

There is no good reason to disable OBiTALK portal management.  Just enable it again, and delete your unwanted SP configuration...takes less than 5 minutes.


Good day and thank you, Steve.

I wasn't asking for knee-jerk reactions about whether or not ObiTalk should be disabled.  There are many reasons why one would, but I do not wish to start a religious war about privacy, etc.

My question was of a technical nature and I was hoping for a technical reply.

Thanks all the same.


The technical reply is:  no, there is no "delete this service provider" button in the local interface.   

OBi devices are designed to simplify the management of service provider configuration either by end users via the OBiTALK portal, or by service providers or enterprise users via configuration servers and XML files.  The legacy local interface is there for making changes, one parameter at a time, similar to the old Sipura/Linksys/Cisco PAP/SPA products*.  In those products, the only way to remove the configuration would have been to either factory reset it, or to change individual parameters, as Robert described.

*Jan Fandrianto and Sam Sin invented the ATA at Komodo, then founded Sipura, and then founded Obihai.

Meaning no disrespect to you or anyone who may think like you, I disagree, not about your technical answer, but about how I'm supposed to use the device.

Just because I spent thirty bucks for a OBi200 doesn't mean that I have to drink OBiHai's corporate Kool Aid nor subscribe to a cult of personality for its founders.

The OBi200 is now mine to use in any way I want, as long as I don't violate any applicable law.  The OBi200 doesn't tell me what to do, I configure it to do what I want it to do.

If you ever find yourself in the role of tech support person for an OBi at a distant location,  you may come to appreciate the option of using the Obitalk portal to manage it.
