Obi100 as ATA for Skype?
TimDan:
I would like to subscribe to a 2nd VoIP service in addition to Google Voice when I switch to VoIP. Can the Obi100 be configured to interface with Skype as the 2nd service?

The OBi is not capable of interfacing directly with Skype, but it can make calls through Skype if used in conjunction with a program (SipToSis) running on a PC. I run this combination and it works reasonably well.
This post is a little lacking, but I can update it if it's something you're interested in pursuing:

There are also Skype specific ATAs as well.

Thanks, RonR. I'm hoping to set up a system not requiring a running PC and which uses a minimum no. of ATAs. I read repeatedly that the OBi100 and OB110 can interface with two VoIP services, but I've never seen a list of the specific VoIP services which can be used. Google Voice is the only one consistently mentioned. It appears, then, that I'll have to use an ATA with each VoIP service and switch my desktop telephone between them manually.

Yes, I have seen the one on the Skype website and advertized on Amazon. I have also seen the dedicated desktop telephone with an internal ATA. That one that was recently listed on eBay for $45, and I'm now kicking myself for not bidding on it. Does anyone know if "BYOD" always means that the associated VoIP service can be one of the two services hooked to an Obihai device?
