I am preparing to cut the "ground line" with Comcast, and use Google Voice with Obihai.
The following link shows, what I found on the Internet:
https://www.amazon.com/OBi200-1-Port...keywords=obhai

Is that the one I should buy, please? I am asking, as there are many of Obi products online.

That is the one I use, plugged right into my router.

Have used this one as well before moving to VoIP phones. Works well.

Sorry, does that mean, that VOIP is better, than Obi?

The Obi is an ATA (analog telephone adapter) that converts voice signals into packets that can be transmitted over the internet. An adapter such as the Obi is needed for analog phones to work with VoIP technology.

That tells me there are "VOIP phones". Is that correct?

I think the Obi is an nice way to complete Japanese women's traditional dress.

Or, alternatively, I have found the OBI (open back inclinable) press to be very useful for smaller stamping jobs.
