Groove IP Lite is an app we use on our android phone for calls now and then. Groove IP says they have figured out an answer for their app continuing to work after May 15. Groove says only phone calls will work at first, texting later. I suspect that there will be a work-around for my Obihai 100 to continue to use Google Hangouts or voice or whatever. yes, yes i know i'm 7 decades old but i truly believe that many many young folks have Already figured this out. And, i would not be surprised that Sherman may have an idea as well. Honestly Obi folks, gram and I are looking forward to May 15 because we suspect we will all be surprised at Obihai's options. Hopefully for folks like us, it will be an easy remedy.
We like the ease of use and options GV provides us. it melds with our Chrome Browser and voice mail is perfect. we don't need to get another provider that are listed on obihai. our android phones with Groove will work fine with GV when we're home. We will miss using our obi for the uniden phones however. It's so nice to just have the phone ring at home when our friends or family call and obi provided that. the issue of affordability as regards buying some voip service does Not apply.
Our Obi100 was one of the best electronic gadgets we have ever owned. We have used it with GV for years and Never Never had a problem. firmware upgrades have always been simple to do using the phone. Again, we never had an issue.
