1.  An OBi212 into which your home landline is plugged.

2.  Either:

2a. An OBi200 and analogue POTS phone at the overseas location.

or

2b. A smartphone which can run a VoIP app.  There are many for Android.  I don't know or care about iThings so cannot say.

3. An account with an Internet Telephony Service Provider which can provide calls between "extensions".  Callcentric is one.  Some providers have their own customised VoIP app.

All 3 of the above will require some configuration.
