Which OBi device should I get, to use with an IP phone?

I currently have a Mitel IP phone and an Asterisk server. Happy with the set up, but I decided to try out an OBi device since Gvoice is going away and the server is getting a little long in the tooth.

Will any of the OBi devices let me continue to use my IP phone or will I need to get the 202?

I mean it's not a big deal to get an analog phone, but we have some stuff set up on the Mitel that I would like to keep.


Sorry if this has been discussed to death. I just couldn't find the info anywhere.

Thanks for any replies!

If your IP phone can dial out without registration it should work with any OBi model.
You can't register a device to an OBi1xx.
There is documentation showing how to register a device to an OBi2xx, but I don't know of anybody getting this to work.

OBiHai has an addon service called OBiPlus that works with an OBi2xx. You can register a device to OBiPlus. There basic service is free. I don't own an OBi2xx, so I never tried OBiPlus.

Why do you want to connect your IP Phone to an OBi?
You can register directly to your GV replacement VOIP provider.
