Well that's too bad.  :-[  I understand from a business standpoint why they can't fix the issue for you.  I guess we have all learned something here and at least we can pass it on to others so they don't make the same mistake.  I hope you get your 202s soon so you can join the rest of us in Obitopia.  I have had a lot of fun with mine by messing around with the advanced settings and dial plans.

Thanks giqcass. From the little I've seen on here, and although it's mostly over my head at the moment, it does look like there's an awful lot of flexibility with these units.

I'll have to reevaluate my needs a bit, though to see what my needs are. I had originally planned on using one of the jacks for a dedicated fax line, but I learned on here that Google Voice might not work so well for that so I ended up getting a Magic Jack Plus for that task and it seems to be working well so far in the couple of tests I ran with it.

My wife will be crabbing about the extra shipping fees I incurred, and Vonage ended up dropping my remaining line there from $25.99/mo to $9.99/mo to keep me there after I dropped the fax line & toll free number. That will be quite a drop from the $64.xx I had been paying with the fax line & 800#. They estimated it will still be ~ $15/mo with all of their line charges & 911 etc., but even adding in the Magic Jack it still saves me enough to pay for the wireless card which was my original goal.

I might just get one and scale back, forgetting about adding a family line. But I think I'll also probably start another thread to figure out a few other things. For instance, whether the OBi can forward a Google Voice only number to my cell phone, which is already my Sprint/Google Voice number. If not, that would be a big drawback to converting that final Vonage number, which does simulring my cell phone currently.

But the OBi does look like a very interesting device. Hopefully I'll be back trying to figure out all of the ways to tweak it to do new tricks with the rest of you guys.

Thanks again for all the help.
