What service to use after May 15th 2014 with my Obi110? [noob alert!]
shadesofidaho:
I only used my OBI to make outgoing calls. I have no other service on it and do not even know or care about my google voice phone number.No text no messages. I call a few people and tell them not to call me on that number if they see it on their caller ID.
Sooooooo I have been reading until my brain is totally plugged up with confusion. I see Callcentric will not work for me because the people I call use Cell and land line phones. I do not mind paying some$$ But 250 minutes for the other service is not usually enough for me. I call Mom and a few friends on a cancer support group. Never know when they or ME needs the support. I do not need the 911 service We still have a land line. Have to keep it for the internet. GGGRRR
I am also a NOOB on this phone deal. I did have MJ but hated it.
Thanks for any direction here. Chris

Shadesofidaho. If you only make outgoing calls and don't need 911 consider CircleNet.

Thank you AllenB I will look into it.

Are you sure about this?
Providers have improved their internet only policies over time.
I have comcast internet with no T.V. and no extra fee.
May be worth checking with your ISP/considering a new ISP.

Yes I am sure about the need to keep the land line. We live in the middle of nowhere. We are lucky to have high speed internet. Was not so a few years ago. internet is through monopoly phone company. If I want to dump the phone the internet will cost me over $100.00. This phone company serves small areas in a few states. they hold the reins. We just had Dish installed yesterday and they have internet. BUT I did a speed test while he was here and he said we will get no where near the speed through dish. 6 years ago my only internet option was dial up. EEEEEEKKKKKKK With two of us online dial up becomes a cussing match. Heheheh since He got my hand me down computers mine would leave him in the dirt .NOW he is equal to mine so it is good we do have high speed.
I am really not a fan of cell phones. I carry ours when I have to drive the 200 miles round trip to the hospital or 90 miles to the chemo lounge on back roads just in case some thing happens. Otherwise we never use it.
The price you pay to live in God's Country. ;)
