the question still remains, for example I went to Walmart and bought the cheapest land line cordless phone they sell.. ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/Vtech-CS6114-Cordless-Phone/15529448 ) it does not work, I set up the phone, charged it, installed it's battery, and there was no dial tone and there was no green light on the OBI adapter saying it successfully found a phone.
You seem to be under some misunderstandings.
1. This thread is about IP phones. A landline phone, whether corded or cordless, is not an IP phone.
2. There is no LED on an OBi that indicates "it successfully found a phone".
I assume this is a new OBi that you are attempting to get working for the first time.
A working powered OBi will give dial tone to a properly connected working phone. Even without an ethernet connection. If your setup is not giving you dial tone then you have a faulty OBi or a faulty PSU or a faulty phone or a faulty phone cord or you have not plugged in correctly.
Is that the exact model number of the phone you bought? If not, could you actually have bought an add-on extension phone with very similar number and appearance?
