OBi 100/110 GV Update request
ChrisJ:
Hi,
I understand the reasons why the OBI 100/110 is not being supported with the new google voice certificate changes and I understand that other options exist for me to restore my service.
Still, I wish to request that Obihai please consider developing an update for the the OBI 100/110. I would be willing to pay for it.
Thanks for considering this request and thank you for your product.
Chris

ChrisJ,
I understand your feelings, but it costs a lot of money to continue to develop for an old platform that may have other limits. I love my 110A because of the outbound port on it as a backup. My solution was to pay the one time $5.99 to simonics.com to bridge my GV service over to SIP. It is very easy to setup and works flawlessly. See the post here (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=13147.0) that explains it step by step.
I know some will balk at paying $5.99 for this service, but this is a one-time fee. If your Obi is out of warranty and you need support, you'd have to pay $10 to get a year of support. So, if you really want to hold on to your 100/110/110A, this is a very fast and inexpensive solution. I'm using it, it seems to work flawlessly, and it even adds additional features like CID.

It doesn't take much to update certs, Ive done this with cable modems. It takes about ten minutes if that. The fix they used with the obi200 shouldn't be no different with the obi100...this is a fact.

Then, go start your own ATA company and quit spamming the forum with your nonsense speculation.

I agree that this could be done and I would like it to be done, being an owner of the OBi 100. I don't believe in "ending life" of products like this. You stand behind your product, period, not send endless emails yapping about upgrading a perfectly good product due to "end of life". I bought mine in 2013, along with a pair of cordless phones and a surge protector, and spent nearly $150. The OBi is in fine shape and would continue to serve its purpose if the certificates were updated. I expect more than 4 years out of a product like this. I will not be purchasing a new OBi, but joined the forum so that I can be informed should Obihai decide to support all of its versions. Meanwhile, we will not have a home phone and will use TracFones exclusively, leaving one of the cordless phones to be my alarm clock and the other out of commission like the OBi.
I'm sure it would make the company very happy should all the owners of the first version(s) upgrade without a real and good reason, but I wish Obihai would keep in mind that a company that stands behind its products from Day 1 can do very well with a product like this. While some of us discovered this great product when that version was available, others will continue to discover it and purchase whatever the current version is. And longtime users might just decide on their own for their own reasons that they want an upgrade.
