I have enjoyed using an Obihai 202 on my in-house LAN and Google Voice for on-the-go connectivity over the last decade. My configuration includes an Obi 202 with 2 active lines (Anveo/GV), Vtech 2-line wireless house phones, and 2 Android cell phones. But watching recent Obi/Poly announcements and trends in telecom forums, I sense a contraction in interest, support, and market for legacy low-end ATA/VOIP technology configurations like mine.

Given my retirement, probably simplest solution would be to drop the house landline and port the GV line over to the cellular provider.

Cursory research reveals a few devices (cell2jack for example) which bridge cell phones to analog in-house phones. Does anyone have experience with any of these devices, in terms of features or cost/benefits comparison with Obi?
In terms of a more direct Obi alternative, it appears that Ooma markets several levels of VOIP/ATA connection ranging from bare-bones free to pricey feature-laden services. Again, does anyone have an opinion about Ooma versus Obi?
Thanks, Just thinking ahead.
