Have you ever had the OBi connected to house phone wiring?
Oh, you meant if my home already has it wired for phone and did I connect to that? If so, no I have not.

Yes that was what I meant.
Connecting an OBi port marked 'PHONE' to a telco line (eg via house phone wiring that is not properly disconnected from the outside world) runs a high risk of damaging the OBi. It won't like the test voltages that a telco might apply or the induced voltages from a nearby lightning storm.
