Have an Obi 110; What is the benefit of the PSTN line port.?

(1/3) > >>

dircom:
Got an Obi 110 last fall, works great!
Got my daughter a 100 (she lives near mountains / internet only and poor cell reception)
that is working good so far.

Temporarily connected my PSTN line to my Obi 110
Not sure what you gain other than both your numbers ring on one phone.

What you give up is being able to make two outgoing calls at the same time, or having two simultaneous incoming calls.

Am I missing something?
I want 2 people to be able to call out or receive calls at the same time


On another note,
it would be nice if there was a wikipedia article of all the sucessfull NPA-NXX-xxxx ports

People connected their landline to this line port for 911 dialing.

You can also connect a PSTN line to both the OBi110 and also to another separate analog telephone that is not connected to the OBi110.  Then the phone attached to the OBi110 can access the pstn line in addition to the voip providers setup on the OBi110 and the separate analog telephone can make and receive calls when the OBi110 is used for voip calls.

If you already have a landline, you don't need to connect it to the obi, you can already call 911.

not sure how this would be any better than have a phone with two line capability.
