I am new member, while I am traveling oversea ,
(A) I want to receive a call which others call to my home telephone number. (Land line)
(B) I want to call to others from my home telephone (land line)
By using OBi,
please teach me, how to setup OBi and which model to buy?
Thanks

1.  An OBi212 into which your home landline is plugged.

2.  Either:

2a. An OBi200 and analogue POTS phone at the overseas location.

or

2b. A smartphone which can run a VoIP app.  There are many for Android.  I don't know or care about iThings so cannot say.

3. An account with an Internet Telephony Service Provider which can provide calls between "extensions".  Callcentric is one.  Some providers have their own customised VoIP app.

All 3 of the above will require some configuration.
