PhonePower Raised Rates - Do I need them?
SteveInWA:
Agreed, their rates are very competitive for an established, full-service ITSP (not a fly-by-night operation).
Aside from that, they have several less-expensive plans. See my screenshot.

My very reasonable $59.99 PhonePower ObiHai Plan appeared on my credit card 4/15/19 at $88.15 and the $34.99 plan was billed at $62.09 without any advance notice.
It is the reason I am following this thread, and, like the original poster, would like an answer to the question, do I need PhonePower?
Is it possible now to use my Obi202 with Google Voice only? Or must I continue to use a VOIP/SIP service? (As you see, I know little including the exact terminology.) If a service is required, which one do other users recommend as stable and affordable?
ObiTalk.com is confusing. Is ObiExtras at $4.99 a month a VOIP/SIP service? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

GV does not provide 911 service. You need a different service provider for that.
The clue to OBiEXTRAs is in the name. It provides "extras" and does not of itself enable making or receiving calls. https://www.obitalk.com/obiextras

If you will look at your detailed invoice on PhonePower, I believe you will find they are still charging you $34.99/year.
The difference of $27.10 is in taxes and fees. I think in prior years they were not applicable so none were collected.
I am in Kansas and my recent renewal in April was $34.99 plus $12.72 in taxes and fees for a total amount of $47.71.

Ugh! I just noticed my bill went up too! Did something expire?
Now I'm getting ~$4 state sales tax, $18 911 fee and other federal charges!
That's like $24 over my $60 fee I've paid the last several years!
