If You Buy Premium Support, will the obi202 updates automatically install?

Thanks again I was born in Puyallup & returned later. People are not sure how to pronounce it correctly. Then I say say it like it stinks, then they get it.
I'm currently subscribed to phonepower using the Obi202 device.
However, tech support at Phonepower told me I would need to bypass the obitalk portal because eventually phonepower service would stop working due to phonepower no longer being an approved service provider.
I plan on canceling the phone service after I update the obi200 device as I thought I needed phonepower for this device to work & now just discovered after talking with Phonepower I never did.
I was never alerted from Obitalk or Polycon about this!

Well, to be really clear, you need some sort of service provider. If not Phonepower, then either Google Voice or one of Phonepower's many competitors, like Callcentric, voip.ms, Anveo, etc.

Do you recommend having a service provider & using googlevoice? Or just pay for 911 service to use with googlevoice?
SteveInWA:
It is entirely up to you. If you ask 5 people on this forum, you will probably get 5 different answers, most of them great.
There are plenty of reasonably-priced options. If Google Voice's features appeal to you, then I'd suggest configuring Google Voice on SP1, and sign up with Callcentric for their $1.95 per month "North America Basic" plan. It's only $.45/month more than the $1.50/month E911-only price, and it includes 120 minutes of outbound calling in case your GV number has a problem. You'd then configure that on SP2. The portal will ask you which SP to use for E911, and you will point it to SP2.

Is there any Android apps you recommend using with OBi202 device & smartphone? I absolutely love Googlevoice with the ability to text from PC & receive messages from Googlevoice landline number on my Android
