If you are trying to make or receive phone calls, perhaps using your old phone number, the OBi202 can do the job. If you want to do that with a OBi202, you may need to replace your old provider with a cheaper SIP provider.
For now, I want to separate the phone from OBi, they are in competition right now, they both want to dial at the same time since they are both connected to the phone line the same way. The cable coming from the provider splits into 2, one goes to the phone and the other goes to OBi(phone 1 plug). Can I achieve the same functionality as OBi110 so that the cable from the phone provider goes into OBi and Obi gives a cable to the phone, and that way I think OBi will decide if using the line is needed or not.

Ok, maybe I'm getting wrong. Is there a way to use PSTN with OBi202? Or is it just exclusive to OBi110? I'm mostly interested in bridging calls from land line to voip. Thanks

I would consider porting your PSTN number to a VOIP provider, and do your bridging from VOIP to Voip. Maybe have GV + Anveo, which I use, but there are other good VOIP providers. It will cost less than keeping your PSTN line, although PSTN is more reliable... it does not need power or internet to be working.
Otherwise, you could maybe find a person with an OBi110 to trade for your OBi202. However you can maybe just buy an OBi110 for about $50 (or wait for a $40 sale). That price may be similar to what you pay for your PSTN for a month or might pay for a SIP provider for a couple years or so. Only the OBi110 connects to the PSTN.
