Can I connect it to PBX and use it as an IP Phone? Can I connect it to my computer and talk via Skype or Facetime?

Hi Kartik, this will only work with an analog phone line. If you need an ip conference phone check out the konftel 300ip.

This is an analog phone so it does not work with a PBX and I don't think it can connect to Skype or Facetime.

yes you can. most of the ip phones can be powered by a poe switch/ap or router.

Yes. I've used it on FaceTime only, so I'm sure Skype calls would work as well.

I am not very sure. I use it with IP phone at work. But from what I see how it functions, it should be possible. All you do is reroute the voice.. not changing input from the main phone line. But, like I said I am not sure.

You need a IP connection with SIP protocol. This is not a regular land line

You need to use a usb bluetooth adapter on the computer, but yes you can use it as a voip speakerphone on the computer. Be aware that the sound quality is okay, the same as on a cell phone.

It should be fine. FreePBX is an Asterisk based IP platform I believe, and as such talks standard SIP. The Polycom Soundstation IP5000 is also a fully SIP capable phone, so it will work just fine. Only a few proprietary phone systems extend SIP in such a way that third party phones may not work (Mitel leaps to mind).Rubin

Yes, it can be used with a Google Voice account. It will require that you obtain and configure the appropriate PBX software (such as Asterisk) to control it and to interface it to your Google Voice account. We've used it that way for about 6 months and it works well. Good luck...

You need software or a service to make this IP phone work. Including an Internet connection where the phone is to be. For a single business you can use your own phones/cell phones with a service like evoice.com or ringcentral.com

Hello Christina, you can use the PC for Skype calls. I think that this phone doesn't work with phone service.

The analog connection will work with any existing phone system that support analog phones. On the VoIP side which you're alluring to, the phone supports SIP registration for which all existing VoIP PBXes should support. I've not tested your specific configuration, though all indications are that it will work.

This ip phone respond to a server, it could be remote (skype, etc.) or a local host (your voip server). I installed a vdex (not any more in the market). the server can have several fx0s that allow You to plugin any conventional or land line, through the server You can use Your phone as an extension to it, just use any ethernet port to connect Your phone.

Yes. Go to Google Play and search for free voice call over IP. The Ringto/GrooveLite are pretty good.

Yes, certainly. You can use this device as an entry level PBX and use its call routing features to route calls to and from IP phones. You may also be interested in the OBi202 which supports OBiPLUS: http://www.obihai.com/obiplus

Yeah, you can do all that. You just have to download skype, etc. It's a small, but highly functional laptop.

You can call out to non VOIP phones, ie pots or cell phone numbers. You will want to pair the OBI devicewith GOOGLE Voice for access to and from those other non OBI device lines. It is pretty easy a to pair it with GOOGLE Voice

To be honest im not sure if skype would work. Based on the way its OS works and the limited access to popular apps, i would guess no. And even if u could download it, i dont think it would be practical or even functional.
