Should I Avoid Buying Obi200 Because It Was Discontinued?
audioresearch:
Because Obi 200 was discontinued, does that mean it is likely it will stop working with Google Voice soon?
OBi Support Edit: The OBi200 has not been discontinued.
SteveInWA:
Cite your source for "it was discontinued".

Sorry about the duplicate post. When I posted, which I tried more than once, I got a webpage with an error message to the effect "credentials not valid" which led me to believe that my posts did not go through.
I believe the Obi200 is discontinued because it is not shown on the Poly website in its list of products. It is also not a good sign that what appear to be newer models (which I base solely on the fact that the model numbers are higher numbers than "200" and cost more) do not support Google Voice. All this leads me to believe Poly is going to be dumping Google Voice-what else could I conclude when I find all their ATA products that show on their own web page no longer support Google Voice?
I believe "SteveinWA"(whose help in the past has been great) has answered this question in the past, but it would help me a lot to get an update on the current situation to see if this product as of this time is discontinued or if Poly will not be updating firmware for it.

The 3xx and 5xx line of ATAs are targeted at the (small) business sector, not home consumers. So GV support is not needed.
Poly also has an entire line of OBI IP phones (Polycom VVX 250/350/450) that supports Google Voice for G Suite.
