You don't need another OBi202 to solve your problem.
You can do it with a $30 investment in an OBi100 at Newegg.
$8 discount with promo code EMCWPGW227 until Nov 6th.



Ha ha -- note that I never said he had to buy a 202.  Thanks for the link to the sale on the 100's; that is a good deal.

You know, I can't win on this forum:  if I suggest that someone actually pay any amount of money to solve a problem, the "I want it all for free" crowd trashes me.  So, I will savor the fact that you suggested a non-free solution!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks!  What about the T.38 Fax capabilities of the 202?  Does that play a factor here when using a fax machine connected to a 202 vs a 100? I do use a line from CC for Fax, and they do claim that "Technically we support fax using either the T.38 protocol or transparently with G.711. However, both largely depend on the reliability/stability of your internet connection. An internet connection with regular packet loss, high latency (ping) to our servers, and/or jitter (large variations in the latency) will cause problems for faxing."

So, I am just wondering if I would be better off staying with the 202 for fax reliability purposes.  We use it at another office (CC and 202 for Fax on UVerse) and it works.

I didn't have a problem using an OBi110 for my FAX, but I only use a FAX a few times a year. If you're worried you can use one phone port on the OBi202 for FAX and the other port plus the OBi100 for the 2 line phone. You might need a splitter like this:

Plug the 2 line phone into L1+L2
Using 2 wire cords plug the other OBi202 port into L1 and OBi100 into L2.

OR

Buy an OBi200 for about $49.

I didn't see a FREE solution without giving up functionality.

If there is a FREE solution why not use it?

CC outbound calls to toll free numbers are billed at $0.0088/minute.

I'm curious. Are you using my FREE CC NoMoRobo suggestion?

SteveInWA:
I don't have a problem at all with free solutions.  Everybody loves "free".  The problem is, too many people (not you!) are so obsessed with "free, no matter what" that they don't objectively look at what they're getting for that price.

My own personal preference is to find the best balance of cost, function and simplicity of implementation and use.
