OBI110 Pros

There are several advantages to the OBI 110 including low-cost and sometimes free calling with VoIP services.  While the device does require a broadband Internet connection, it does not require a computer.  It can also work with any VoIP service provider after purchasing a device.  The manufacturer boasts excellent voice quality as well as easy setup, live technical support, free software updates and a one-year limited hardware warranty.  Also, many users who are satisfied with the device say it pays for itself fairly soon.

OBI110 Cons

There have been a few complaints about the OBI 110.  For instance, some users do not like that it cannot be used with a separate answering machine.  There are also a few drawbacks when connected with Google Voice.  For instance, the voicemail is not optional and cannot answer on a ring of the user’s choosing.  Furthermore, Google Voice cannot be used for 911 calls and the service can be unpredictable.

Alternatives

Of course, there are a few alternatives for the Obihai OBI110 from such as the NetDuo device.  There are also Internet phone devices like the Cisco Small Business PAP2T-NA Internet Phone Adapter with two VoIP ports.  Other devices include the Ooma Telo Free Home Service device and others from known brands such as Vonage.  The Nettalk Duo VoIP Telephone Service also offers an alternative.

Accessories

Even though a computer is not needed for the *device,* it still requires a wireless router that is not included with it.  A home phone is also required but not included with it.  Otherwise, it does not need outside accessories in order to work.  Instead, it must be configured and various apps and other services can be downloaded.

Summary

Overall, the OBI110 comes with many useful features and is compatible with services such as Google Voice.  While it does not require a computer, some users have found it unpredictable, especially when operated with Google Voice.  There are alternative devices available, but this one requires virtually no additional accessories.
