Line Phone Configuration?

Pedro675:
I appreciate the feedback and have another question. GPz1100 said I may be unhappy with the quality of the VoIP connection with DSl. Could I run the VoIP but not disconnect voice service rom the phone company AND sign up with Goggle Voice to test the VoIP? Essentially keeping two of the same phone numbers, one with Goggle Voice and the other with CenturyLink. i would not hook up the voice, but have it in standby.

If the VoIP does not pan out then I just need to remove the VoIP adapter and re-hook my original phone system wiring to the way it was and continue with CenturyLink.

Pedro675,

All you have to do is connect the Obi device to the router just like any networking device to use your DSL connection to test it and also sign up for Google Voice.

From my research the device can't connect to phone company line voltage, hence the re-routing of Line 1 and Line 2 to separate the phones from the Obi devise. I would connect the DSL side to the device but the phone side cannot see voltage or the device will "blow".

Is this not true?

GPz1100:
Before you mess with your wiring why not just connect your cordless phone base station directly to the obi during testing?

I don't know why, I've just been reading about no phone company line voltage to Obi. So my kitchen line phone would be connected to Line 1 and receive/send voice via telephone company ( as it does now) and my cordless base would be connected to the Obi port for phone and my router would be connected to the Obi.

Could I just call out/receive calls? Would I not have to establish Goggle Voice to test? How would GV get me my phone number?
