Pluging my magicjack- plus into an Obi
njmacman:
Hi. I have separate working Magicjack Plus, Obi 100, and Obi 200 at my different locations. My question is, is there a way to plug my Magicjack into an Obi and thereby be able to connect the Obi to my wall jack and create 2 lines access from all of the wall jacks in my house? If so, which Obi model will I need? Thanks in advance.

No.
If you mean that you want to use two separate analog telephone lines on two-line telephones, plugged into four-conductor telephone jacks throughout your premises, then plug the magicJack's phone cord into one of your phone line jacks (e.g. line 1), and plug the OBi's phone cord into the other one (e.g. line 2). Do NOT plug both devices into the same phone line, or you'll damage the units.

OK, then I can send a phone cord from the L1 + L2 jack to the wall? Thanks.
SteveInWA:
You didn't explain what devices you have at each of your two locations, vs. your total number of devices.
Assumptions:
I'll assume for this discussion that you have one OBi device, and one magicJack at one location.Your premises (home or office) has in-wall telephone jacks, wired with at least 4-conductor wire, with separate pairs of wire for Line 1 and Line 2. This uses a female phone jack with four gold pins, known as RJ-14 wiring.You do not have any other telephone company's service connected to those wires already (for example, from a traditional telephone company or cable company).You have one or more telephones that have two-line capability. The phone(s) has/have a RJ-14 jack or two RJ-11 jacks, which use a 4-wire phone cord (or two, 2-wire cords) to plug into the wall jack.You want to be able to use the 2-line telephone(s) with magicJack service on one line, and OBi service on the other line.
If any of those assumptions are not correct, then explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish (how would you like things to work)?
If all of those assumptions are correct, then:
Plug a phone cord from the phone jack on the magicJack into the Line 1 jack on the splitter.Plug a phone cord from the Phone port on the OBi to the Line 2 jack on the splitter.Plug the male end of the splitter into the wall jack.Plug your two-line telephone's cord into the "L1+L2" jack on the splitterOptionally, plug other two-line telephones into other phone jacks around the premises.

The only OBi devices with a L1+L2 jack are the 202 and 302.
The only situation where you can plug a magicjack into an OBi is when you have an OBi110 or an OBiLINE. You can daisychain the two by connecting the OBi LINE jack to the magic jack. In all cases the PHONE jack(s) of an OBi and the phone jack of a magicjack must be kept electrically separated.
