I have obi202 and my both lines of incoming and out going, are still working good, even after May 15.
So far, no problem at all.
btw,....I also have two ooma lines ( both totally free, like this OBI, as my ooma classic was bought, before 2008, when they had assured life-long free ), and also one TK6000 ( older version of netatlk) line, which is also totally free like obi.
I like, all free diff devices ( of their life services ), as some cover Canada and some cover 911 phones and some allows sending fax with diff protocols/some diff. way,.. and hence fax ALWAYS goes,.... So, among these all three different, I cover all aspects and still not paying any penny to any, for any monthly bills.
Having said that, I concern least,.. say, if my obi dies, due to GV.
After reading all of the above posts here,..... and summing up, here is what I concluded.::
Let us wait till GV actually pulls off plug,.... and who knows when(?),.. it could be few weeks,months, a year later,. etc
Till time,
like obi sent us all the e-mails, the new few service RING will be in effect soon and we all can switch from GV to RING, totally free, once again.
IMO, if obi starts charging say 45 to 60 dollars per year ( for their third party services ), like magic jack plus / nettalk / ooma telo, ....
Then it simply means,.... I see no difference and I rank all of these above said pieces almost in the same cadre/category more or less, and I may rather start hunting and searching for those old antique pieces ( if someone is still selling ) like ooma classic and/or TK6000 - as they are free life-long, once paid for the devices initially.
