Another question... when you setup the OBi, are you able to move it to any location without having to set it up again? i.e. set it up at home, use it for a while, then move it to the business... is there no other setup required?
I have done that for 3 ObI's so far. I have had no issues setting them up in one location and them relocating them at a later date. I did have a bit of an issue with a OBi110 and a firewall wanting it put it as a DMZ. Did not have to change any thing on the OBi, OBitalk, GV or Callcentric

Integraoligist,
I think YMMV. There are differing variables between locations to know with certainty without actually trying it.
Variables= Router model, DSL, perhaps a few others
If making/receiving calls is what you are envisioning and a computer is available to you, you might consider using the OBiAPP+soft phone combination to connect at the remote site. You can get most of the benefits using the soft phone connecting to the OBi which might be physically located elsewhere.

Ok, so i've been going over the specs and isnt the obi202 the exact same thing as 2 of the obi100's?
So just buy 2 of the 100's and you get the same effect as the 202?

Well sans the router, USB port, and file storage. Not to mention the unified configuration (you don't have to jump from one device to another to configure). Plus there may be some slight differences when writing a digitplan when accessing a resource on another device vs the same resource contained in one device. Eh, pretty much with the caveat that we can't be certain there isn't some hidden functionality peculiar to just the Obi202
Lavarock7:
An extra advantage with the 202 is that you can easily say that 3 of the providers are assigned to 1 phone and the other provider to a second phone. With 2 110's (unless you play games) you are two per phone. You could also force all outbound calls out one provider with only 1 registration to that provider. Many providers don't allow two bxes to access the same account (registration login).
Two 110s would allow you to have two 911 providers (a different one for each box) such that if one was not configured right or working, you could switch to the phone on the other 110 to make a call.
