why is Google Voice still working fine on my 6-year-old Obi110?
A couple of months ago, I bought three Obi200 on sale for $34.99 each.
The *only* reason was that I kept reading the threads here that the Obi110 was about to stop working. :( Now I feel the Obi200 purchases was unnecessary or premature?
SteveInWA:
There is nothing sinister about this. Google has a very large number of XMPP servers around the country, and not all of them have been updated yet. Your 110 will eventually stop working with Google Voice.
Mango:
It's always good to have backup hardware, but thanks to some very intelligent users who figured out how to patch the OBi1xx firmware, it is unlikely to stop working with Google Voice any time soon.
BillDoe:
Seriously? I just placed an order for a 202 because of the warnings and my spouse uses one line for work so her line CANNOT go unexpectedly dead one day. Is there any way to know more about when things could go dark for 110 users? Can I still morally sell them on eBay?
Mango:
If you do sell it on eBay, I would install the third party firmware first so the buyer is not angry when the certificates change again. Personally I would keep it around. If your phone service is that critical, it's good to have a hot spare configured and ready to go.
