Pros and Cons of using OBiTALK Provisioning and OBiTALK portal for configuration
jimates:
For those of us that use google voice for domestic calling only there is no concern for any type of charge. And with the choices for voip providers that are pretty much "prepaid" there is really no reason to have an open end type of account.
Huib:
I think the portal has great potential but up until very recently (two or three weeks ago) certain changes I made in the portal were not replicated to the devices. I have 3 OBi's in the portal and they're all affected by it.
The devices live in the US, Canada and the Netherlands and I have setup direct access to them. Every time I push a change out I check if it took on the device. It's a little extra work but worth the effort to keep as much as I can centrally located in the portal.
RevKev:
The portal is definitely convenient for remote configuration, the pre-defined service providers, and the speed dials (with names/descriptions). The speed dials from the portal get pushed to (or pulled from) the OBiON apps. Down side is you can't change speed dial 1 and 99.

on security itself: typically, no website stores your passwords directly in a database. your password along with some obi passphrase is used to hash/encrypt data and then is stored. this way even an employee cannot access your password even if they intend to.
You keep on believing that. I think you'd be surprised if you knew how insecure many sites are.

Lol, either I'm misinterpreting something or you're quoting earthtoobi's quote as my own.

To me it's personal preference. Just because you are a "NEWBIE" to VOIP or the Obi does not mean you are a "NEWBIE" to computers. I use the portal because that is all I need, but I would have no fears of direct configuring.
