Hmmm. I think Comcast sent me a post to a different thread!
We also have an OBiwifi adapter that plugs into the back of the OBi202 so that we can use them with wifi when we are on the road. It used to be when you used two or more OBi202 devices with the same numbers at seperate locations that they would interfere with each other and cause weird problems, but Google and OBi fixed that years ago.
The only good reason to use a device like the Magic Jack that needs to be plugged into a computer that I can think of would be if you are a fan of their service or are trying to avoid using anything Google for security, privacy, or you just don't like them.
Google Voice is still free after all of these years... The voice quality is as good or better than any plain old phone line that I have used. I don't really understand how phone companies can stay in business when Google is giving away what they charge about $50 a month for.
My dad was over last night. I switched his two business lines that he has had for around 60 years to Google Voice years ago. He was complaining about his home landline costing almost twice what their unlimited cell phones cost. I asked him why we shouldn't just port that number to Google and then either just forward it to one of their cell phones or set it up on another Obi device. It would literally pay for itself in two months. But my dad wants the security of the phone line in case there is an earthquake or a big storm or something else that takes the cell system and Comcast down. Which I can understand, but it does cost a lot for that little bit of extra security.
Sorry, I meant to reply to Daniel1212 and accidentally sent it to you instead.
