Ha ha ha ha, good question. Don't ask me about the other VoIP gear I also own...
I bought the 110 when they first came out. I don't use it anymore; I replaced it with a 202. The other units were provided to me by Obihai for Google Voice testing and support purposes. I also have several local DIDs with Callcentric that are hold-overs from my work-from-home days, and I still use those numbers on the 202 and the 1032.
SteveInWA ,
Interesting answer. I'm also retired. I was performing "Remote Wireless Systems Integrations". The company I was working for as a contractor quit paying for a business landline and I started using a MagicJack rather than using our home phone for work.
I'm a long time Google Voice user and I was using Google Voice along with the magicJack when our middle son sent me an OBi110. I soon learned the advantages of using Google Voice with an OBi device and bought an OBi100 to use for remote support calls and started using the OBi110 for our "Home" phone service along with Google Voice and a POTS (landline).
Later, I replaced the OBi100 with an OBi202 along with a 2-line phone. Upon my last and final retirement, I switch the OBi202 to a 2-line system for home use. Upon retirement, I enjoyed continuing to learn about VoIP and decided to setup my own little VoIP lab with the OBi devices. Several months ago, I added an OBi200 that I won in a contest.
Now, I have an OBi202, OBi200, OBi110, OBi100 and a magicJack+. I have two Google Voice DID's, one DID on Vestalink and two DID's on voip.ms which I find to be the most interesting and fun to play with.
I dumped the POTS line after adding a 4G radio to our alarm system and moving from ADSL to Cable Internet service. Recently, I figured out how to use one of the voip.ms DID's to configure NoMoRobo call screeing on all of our incoming calls.

Please clue all of us Voip.ms users in on the secret!

MurrayB, I'll scan through my scattered notes and current configurations and attempt to put together the various steps to how I configured a voip.ms DID# to work with NoMoRobo call screening. The setup that I ended up with uses one voip.ms DID# with NoMoRobo to screen calls for several DID/phone numbers including Google Voice, Vestalink and voip.ms DID#s.
I'm sure that I didn't configure my solution the simplest way. I did it as a learning challenge implementing as many voip.ms features as I could put together into one solution.
Once I get something together that has the sequential steps, I'll create a new post.

Jim, thanks; sounds like you've kept your mind active!
RE: nomorobo, I described this in a thread some time ago, but as usual, I am too lazy to go find it. The "executive summary" is that, as long as your SIP ITSP supports simultaneous ringing of multiple destinations, you can make one of those destinations nomorobo's "black hole". I use Callcentric, for example. The same logic should work with voip.ms
Go to the nomorobo website, and sign up. Since they only "support" a few telephone carriers that they know to work, you need to tell them that you're using Vonage, which is the closest match (Vonage actually has a registered trademark on the name "Simulring"). Nomorobo will give you the toll-free number to use, to add as a destination to simultaneously ring on your inbound calls. With Callcentric, for example, I have a call treatment that rings my desired extensions, plus 1<nomorobo's number>@tf.callwithus.com
When an inbound call comes in, and it's forwarded to nomorobo, they look it up in a database of junk callers. If it matches, they answer the call, play their junk caller message and hang up. If there's no match, then they just ignore the call, so you can answer it on one of your extensions.
MurrayB:
Boy, it looks like we did a great job of hijacking the thread.
I wonder if it would simply work by integrating it into a ring group. Something to fool around with.
All this new stuff sure keeps the old brain nimble.
