That is great to hear. In our case we can hook up on old android phone to our wireless handsets and answering machine using blue tooth. I just haven't had to do this. I also haven't bothered to use the Google Voice App on my primary cell phone because it has unlimited voice, data, and texts for a very low price anyway. But I have used it out and about on my tablets which work just like they are a giant handset or a speaker phone.
Google Voice has saved me and my extended family a lot of money over the years. Google has said that they have no intentions to cancel the service or even cut off the service to ObiHai devices that use the service; it supposedly was security issues that ended the OBi100. I can see that as being an issue sometime in the future with OBi200 series devices.
But there is supposedly a workaround for continued free home phone service using Callcentric... https://www.callcentric.com/
According to the link that I put in my last post this will work with Google Voice using a little configuration wizardry.

Comcast is constantly trying to sign us up for their voice service. I am always baffled as to why people would do this... other than the convenience and maybe a little better reliability they are basically paying for something that they could get for free with just a little bit of research and a very small investment in hardware...
“Comcast is constantly trying to sign us up for their voice service....”
I actually like Xfinity..... low rates for internet only and they even (last year) tossed in a free Xfinity router that I use...... I have my own router too so I don’t need their freebie.. But what the hecks!
All I can say is that I like having two phone numbers on my smartphone. My take is that few people use free Google Voice on their phones. That goog is busy pimping it for business use and charging for this service
I have an el cheepo 10 inch tablet that I must put google voice on! It is Wi-Fi only.
