@vtsnaab If you want a cheap ATA, picked up the vonage HT802 from bestbuy for ~$10. Follow the unlocking instructions on dslr. It requires some tech expertise but isn't overly complicated. Once unlocked, it works quite well with simonics gateway too.
As it happens, I do already have a spare ATA that I got for that price for a time like this, but before making quite that radical a change I will try to keep my Obi110 in use.
An area of interest to me is mentioned repeatedly at the Nerd Vittles blog - and that is the idea of setting up a PBX in the cloud using a very low cost service like Cloud at Cost.
Just so happens I grabbed a great deal there a while back, so since I already have that I may just play around with it a bit before heading over to GVGW...
Seems to me that having 1 PBX set up there for our 3 lines on 2 Obi boxes will be a good solution as long as it is fairly reliable.
For today, all I had to do is power up my cellular that GV forwards to as a temporary solution for the (now 100% ??) dead Obi boxes that we have.
Since all 3 of those lines have notifications, if anything is mised it will be easy enough to just return the call.
Thanks Again & Happy Holidays to You and Yours !!
