Thank you SteveinWA.
Is RingTo a VOIP provider or just another forwarding service like GV?
Thank you very much.
ring.to is a VoIP telephone service provider, which offers forwarding services similar to Google Voice. Ring.to doesn't issue their own phone numbers at this time, but, like GV, they do port in numbers from other carriers.
Mercurius:
I see the light in the tunnel here.., but again, I could be wrong.
What if I port my prepaid cell-number to ring.to, and pair with Obi200, will this method work to get working landline phone?
SteveInWA:
Yes, sort of. Again, ring.to, like Google Voice, is not intended to be your sole, replacement telephone company. Think of it as a supplement to another phone service.
From ring.to terms of service:
The Service is an enhanced call management service; you cannot make any 911 call or text utilizing the Service.
If You associate the Service and/or any telephone number that You obtain (or port to Bandwidth) with a VoIP adapter and/or an analog telephone adapter, including, without limitation, an Obihai device, the following applies: You (i) must obtain emergency calling (i.e., 911 service) from a third party; and (ii) acknowledge and agree that You have obtained such emergency calling (i.e., 911) service from a third party. If, for any reason, You or other callers use the Service to make or attempt to make any 911 call or text, the emergency operators may not have a number available to return the caller's call; all callers must be prepared to verbally provide their call-back information for use by emergency operators.
If You associate the Service and/or any telephone number that You obtain (or port to Bandwidth) with an over-the-top ("OTT") Internet application, the following applies: You cannot make any 911 call or text utilizing the Service. If, for any reason, You use the Service to make or attempt to make any 911 call or text, the emergency call center operators will not have a number available to return a caller's call; all callers must be prepared to verbally provide their call-back information for use by emergency call center operators. You must maintain an alternative means of calling emergency services.
That said, it's your decision.

Thank you very much for all your help. I have another phone which I can make 911 call. So I just want a landline# as I'm thinking getting rid of the prepaid phone :)
