It can support 2 #s. See the thread "Will it also work with other SIP providers?", it was asked and answered there.

Supposedly multiple calls can be handled. However, I have not had success in doing so. I have an iPhone that is finicky at best. Every time I try to hang up one call to return to another it hangs up both. Headset or phone? I don,t know.

It is possible to port your landline number (or locked/proprietary VoIP service number) to a service configured on the OBi device, e.g Google Voice, Callcentric, etc. This is necessary as Obihai is not a VoIP service provider, so you must use a service with the OBi device (and your broadband Internet connection) to reach traditional land line terrestrial and mobile phone numbers. Here is a listing of the service providers for whom Obihai have made service configuration templates for easy configuration of the OBi device using the OBiTALK web portal: Broadvoice: http://www.broadvoice.com/ Callcentric: http://www.callcentric.com/ Future Nine: http://www.future-nine.com/plans.html Google Voice: http://www.google.com/voice Inphonex: http://www.inphonex.com/personal/ Sipgate: http://www.sipgate.com/ Vitelity: http://www.vitelity.com/pricing#voip VoicePulse: http://www.voicepulse.com/index.aspx VoIPms: http://www.voip.ms/ You may port your number to a VoIP service and then use this service to place and receive calls from a regular phone attached to the OBi. With a regular "Bring Your Own Device" service like Callcentric, VoIPms or VoicePulse this is fairly straightforward. Your number will get ported directly to the VoIP service. With Google Voice, you first have to make your land line number a mobile number and then go to the Google Voice set-up page to request the from the mobile carrier to Google Voice.

I called Uniden and asked. The only thing they could tell me is that the 9466 allows you to enter two numbers for each phone book entry where the 8866 allowed only one.

Totally free GoogleVoice calling ends mid-May. However, I used OBI's web page to sign up for a PhonePower service that is discounted for those using OBI boxes. OBI and PhonePower have done a great job of making the switch and sign up VERY EASY. Two rates, either $3 a month for 300min/mth or $5/mth for unlimited calling+some foreign calling. Included free (911), voicemail, etc. Sort of one-click signup for OBI folks...up and running in 5 minutes...note that you need to go back to OBI page after PhonePower signup to confirm configuration change from Google to PP (again one click). We'll see how it goes. We went with the one-year $60 plan...didn't bother to pay to move my old # as we use the VOIP phone for just outgoing long-distance calls.

Each phone has an identifying number at the top right. If you wanted to, you could keep each one in a specific location. We do not, however. They are all interchangeable. Of course, if you move them around like we do, the intercom feature wouldn't be very useful, as you'd never know where the phone you were paging was located. Hope this helps.

I use the intercom when I am in one building and want to to talk DH in another building. Yes, we have 3 phones on this and you can direct call to each other phone as needed. It does ring differently. My system is hooked up to phone line and works as regular phone too, I have been very happy with this phone. :)

Google Has two services, "Talk" and "Voice". Google Talk became incompatible with Obihai, as announced. Google Voice, which works with Obihai, was never affected. TalkaTone, a Google Talk Application, assigns a new number, as Google Voice does. If you get TalkaTone, it won't work with Obihai. However, you can have your Google Voice number ring to your TalkaTone number. Sound clear? None of this really affects Obihai's use with Google 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.

You cant change internal voip settings for this modem! Does not support that type of voip! Google voice uses a different voip protocol! Ill explain more later!!

I signed up for a free Google Voice number. This number is just like a local number but with the advantage that when it is called it can be assigned to ring both at your Home/Obi and your cell phone such that no matter where your at the call comes to you. Now I live in Miss and the area I live in did not have an exact match Google Voice number for my area, but they did have number to an area near me which is just fine with me. If you sign your Obi up with a paid service provider (still at much less cost than ATT/Verizon/etc) they may have a better fit number assignment process. I liked the free option as phone service is something I need but not the most important thing in my life.

It can run 4 services over 1 device by sharing. It allows each of these services to ring through the same phone. To call out, you actually use a specific dial code to tell the OBi200 which service you want to use to make the call. If you want 4 lines, you'll need to get a 4 port adapter like the OBi504vs although it's probably overkill for a small setup. You can also just buy 4 OBi100 devices and connect one to each phone. Lastly, OBITalk makes VOiP phones that support multiple lines like the OBi1032 and the OBi1062. If you go with one of these phones, you can skip buying any of the OBi adapters altogether.

No it is a multiline S.I.P phone. You will be able to add multiple line SIP numbers, but not physical lines. Was disappointed with the phone because Google Voice Never worked, which was the main reason I bought it. Password error all the time. Ended up buying a multiline OBIHAI product.

only if you were to both have separate phone numbers and separate base units with each listed as each others 1st call but you would not be able to talk for long as pressing 5 stops the rotation and neither would have a hand set to do this. The simple answer is no.

I take that to be asking if each fxs/phone port receive phone calls separately. The answer is yes. You can have two phone calls going at once, or conference call/put on hold on a 2-line phone. You could, if you wanted, use one phone line for yourself and run the other to your neighbor's house and send them a monthly phone bill, etc. The two lines have separate SIP logins and can have different phone numbers, or even different SIP/VOIP providers. The only thing you can't do is have radically different internet settings, like different IP's, one on a VPN and the other not, or something weird like that.

Yes! After entering numbers to the "directory" all you have to do it press the volume button using the "up arrow". Then you choose the number you want to call using the up or down arrow and press "talk". And the best part is that you only have to add numbers to one phone and it goes onto the other one automatically.
