Can I use the OBi202/OBiBT to connect my vtech landline phone's Bluetooth input? So I can select BT on the vtech handset to use Google Voice thru Obi?

No. The ObiBT plugs into the Obi202 so you can make and receive calls on blue tooth enabled devices. It may be limited to working with smartphones but I am not certain. If it is not, then you may be able to accomplish your goal by getting the ObiBT for the Obi and a standard bluetooth dongle for the vtech phone but I really don't know.I tried to use the ObiBT with an iPhone and it worked ok, but also rang every phone in the house when I *made* a call.It was very annoying, Obi support did not care, so I returned them.

I ordered this bluetooth and Obi202, but when searching for better pricing from different vendors, I ordered obi302 instead of obi202 (obi302 does not work with Googlevoice); these two models have the same enclosure, same color, excepts the number on it. This mistake cost me more than $10 for restocking fee and a little more than $5 fee to ship it back. Make the long story short, I do not have obi202 and do not plan to purchase any obi's product; and since returning obi bluetooh may cost me more than its cost, therefore I still have the obi bluetooth in front of me to remind me not to purchase obi's product. Beside that, I have not use any obi's product to tell you what you want to know.

That's what I tried to do with a Panasonic system but I couldn't get it to pair. I returned the bluetooth adapter. The OBi202 works great with Google Voice and a hardwired cordless phone system.

You can pair a bluetooth headset with the base station - not the handset. But, there can be only 1 active bluetooth connection at a time. This means that you can only use the BT headset when making calls from the landline. When the BT headset is active, you won't be able to make or accept calls from a BT linked cellphone, because that would require a second active BT connection.

No, it accepts BT input, it doesn't transmit BT. You want a BT transmitter.

Yes, you can use USB Bluetooth converter to pair and connect to VOXOA HD Wireless Headphones. Hence, you can make/receive phone calls through Skype or Google voice. Thank you for your interests in our products. Cheers, Team VOXOA.

I still didn't figure out how to use my grand stream. Just buy an obo or ovo device. I think that's what it's called. I plug it in to my computer and a regular phone. I am able to make and receive calls through the internet with out my computer being on.

I have it paired with a Google Nexus 5 and you can control it through the receiver. It doubles as a hands free and BT audio. Whenever you get a call in, tap the telephone on the receiver and bam, you're talking through a mic! You can transfer phone book and call through the receiver too! Hope this helps.

I have a Samsung S3. I can use it to make/answer calls throught JVC receiver and to listen music as well. I think JVC is compatible with any BT phone.

The announcement on September 11, 2014 says that Google Voice is now officially supported on Obi VOip devices. I do know that mine works great.

Yes, if the one you are buying says so or shows the blutooth in the model displayed. It's good to have the BT device, casue the volume on the phone is almost none-existent, and it is very difficult to hear. Having the BT helps, but still the volume is not the best. An aftermarket device may work best for you. I just used tablet for Whatsapp and surfing the net; not really for the phone feature (talking).

Yes it does, and it's now official, as of 11 September, 2014. See the Obihai update on their blog: "Google Voice is now Officially Supported on OBi VoIP devices." http://blog.obihai.com/2014/09/google-voice-and-obihai-update.html

No, it depends on the service provider for voip and most do not seem to support faxing to a fax machine, but instead by email and such. I am not sure why Obi supports faxing if they do not have a partner capable of delivering it. It worked with google voice, but google will stop supporting the obi device 5/15/2014. Avenel does not support it and it is the only real partner of Obihai.http://www.anveo.com/faq.asp?#fax

You can dial any regular phone number with the phone connected to the OBi. The OBi works with any Internet voice service who provide you with credentials used for configuration of the OBi. There are an abundance of VoIP services available which allow "Bring Your Own Device" or BYOD service models. The OBiTALK web portal makes it easy to set-up the service and start using it to make and receive calls on the phone attached to the OBi. A list of some popular BYOD service providers: Broadvoice Callcentric Inphonex Sipgate Vitelity VoicePulse VoIP.ms Google Voice may also be used as a VoIP service on the OBi device. It's very easy to set-up almost any VoIP service on the OBi. Just log-in to the OBiTALK portal, add an OBi device, then select and configure the VoIP service. If the other end happens to have an OBi device or uses the OBiON iPhone or Andorid app you can make calls to each other for free using the 9-digit OBi No. that comes with every device.

Yes, because this device is not dependent on another phone. It is actually a phone by itself except it cannot dial out. So if you make or receive a call on your Vtech, you can switch this headset on, then disconnect the Vtech. Think of it as an extension phone.

You can text if you use BT to connect your smartphone to the inReach. No voice

The phone itself registers several SIP accounts and one analogue line. You would need an Obi adapter (FXS port) to use Google Voice. I've heard rumours that that service, on the adapter, may be ending at some point.
