MagicJack plus $19.99 at Radioshack might be good addition to obi110 or Obi20x
LeoKing:
I had some problems with the original MagicJack, the one that's plugged into the USB port on the computer. I have not had problems with the MJ Plus 2011, the one that's plugged directly to a LAN port on the router. That's the reason I decided to renew the MJ service this month. Also, the MJ Android and iPhone apps work very good with my MJ Plus number.
Jackson:
Sounds interesting. Is it possible to get phone numbers in my area code?
Saw this strange review at RS though.

This device can call lots of places but some numbers within less than 30 miles of my home can not be called without additional charges. This is not right. The advertising says you can call anywhere for free and you can not.
I live in the eastern united states and am not trying to make international calls. just local in state calls. even within my home county and there is a recorded message that I need to purchase air time.

I have not had the problem in your quote. We can check the MJ Available Area Codes page to make sure the area codes we want are available.
Jackson:
They have them at my local RS.
I thought that I would just tap into the same phone lines as my Obi100, a junction box using the original (disconnected from NID) house wiring . But I can't wrap my head around how I could actually then make a MJ outbound call using the same phones as the Obi. :-[

I don't think you can connect multiple ATAs (OBi, MJ, NetTalk, etc.) simultaneously to the same house wiring. They all impress their own dial tone and voltage onto the line.
