Won't work with Google Voice without paying extra
930016
I bought this to use as an incoming line for Google Voice but ooma blocks Google Voice calls unless you subscribe to their premier service.  You get a free trial of this service when you activate your unit.  You will be billed automatically when the trial ends.  I canceled this service immediately upon activation and was not charged, but apparently the services continue until the trial ends.  They've essentially made it impossible to know that it won't work with Google Voice without extra charges until you can no longer return the unit.  If you plan on using this unit with Google Voice DO NOT BUY THIS!  Other than the shady business practices the call quality is decent.

Consider something else such as Ryobi if you're looking for Alexa/Google Assistant integration.  These Who charges a fee for these features.  I can't wait til this think die so I can go with another brand

I used this to replace my home landline.  The process involved porting my legacy landline number to a cell, then from the cell to Google Voice.  This box integrates seamlessly with GV.  I'm using Callcentric to get name with Caller ID for free (GV doesn't provide name); also E911 for $1.50/month.  Home phone service for $1.50/month: yes please!  GV provides free calls to US and Canada, and is very inexpensive for international calls.

I ordered 2 Magic Jacks Plus, they are supposed to work with your computer OFF. None of them work with the computer off, I contact technical support several times, move the wires download software and all they asked me to do, I did try to work with them and fix it, it was a good deal (if work) but I could not get a reliable service, outgoing calls only, no incoming calls. Finally after about 2 months of honest intention to make it work and several chats with customer service, I decided that I did not have the time to deal with Magic Jack anymore. I asked for my money back..well they claim that my 30 days of guaranty were up.. I did not dispute it within the 30 days so no refund. Even that they had solid record of  date I purchase it, the date I installed; the dates of multiple chats record with technical support;  records of no incoming calls and above all my honest effort for a long time to make it work . I probably made 10 calls & received none but no a penny back. My last ID this chat was LTK554079742025X. Over $100 loss...So don't try it you can get VoIP provider for about the same money and a much better service.

Device works well; user interface is glitchy and set up is complex and not for the non-tech savvy (it takes about 60 minutes if you already have a google voice number). 911 service must be purchased separately from Anveo and now costs $25/yr (up from $15/yr in 2017). In addition, they used to provide off line alerts indefinitely but now charge $10/yr for this after the first year. If you need support, however, hope you have good luck as Customer support is atrocious - you must email them and if they respond, it is quite delayed. I paid to renew "premium" support a week ago and still do not have it on my account and can't get a reply from the company. I do not think there is such a thing as regular support, so not sure why they charge for something called premium which is spotty at best.

Edit: it seems that obi fixed this issue and I haven't been charged again for annual usage.
This little device was great when I started using it but then when I was trying to conduct business phone calls my phone stopped taking calls and only my computer rang. With no setup to accept calls on my desktop I had no choice but to pay their $10 ransom ware fee. Not a happy customer which is sad since I've recommend these to lots of friends.

I got 200 tracfone minutes from my sister this past christmas. I went out and picked up a phone, seeing as it was only $15 anyway. When i turned on the phone i got an 'insert sim' message. i went through troubleshooting and did everything it told me to. i then called and after a few robots, talked to someone. they told me it was normal and would work by tomorrow. he set up my account and put in my minutes while i was talking to him. days went by and still nothing. i called again and they forced troubleshooting on me. i couldn't get one answer out of anyone so i talked to a supervisor and they sent me a new sim card. now i have this new sim card but all my info is on my old one. i talked to someone for about an hour, putting in codes that accomplished nothing. they told me i had to wait 2 weeks so they could file an investigation on my case. i needed to talk to a supervisor to add minutes to my phone and the entire time i was treated like a liar and called ma'am every 2 sentences despite my obvious deep voice. the entire process of being able to have a quick and affordable phone took over a month. overall their service is terrible, and  their product hardly works. my mother also has one and i tried to set up her account online but it wouldnt go through. i needed to call and put in a handful of codes again. after all this trouble I can only make outgoing calls. I was able to get a call earlier today... but when i called it half an hour ago and when my friend called me the other night, there was a message saying i'm not taking calls.  also, if you ever want to set up a voicemail or anything on your phone, you have to use YOUR minutes. you cant use a LAN line or anything. thats a long time with the elaborate "you're probably a moron so let me slow it down for you" instructions they give for setting up a voicemail. I set mine up and the voice went on about different features of the phone, trying to drag out your minutes so you can go buy some more. and if you decide to buy this phone you'll most likely be put on hold while you see what the problem with your phone is and you'll hear them actually say "with tracfone, you really do get what you pay for" in between the holding music. I recommend this product to anyone who has done me wrong. go get virgin mobile if you want a cheap, reliable and easy to use phone. my girlfriend sets all her information online and everything works the way its supposed to.

This doesn't seem to mesh well at all with my Android phone (HTC Evo 4G LTE Sprint running Jelly Bean 4.1). The Q2 downloads up to 2,000 entries from your contacts, allowing it to tell you who's calling -- but you're supposed to be able to call out by voice and it mostly fails to recognize who I'm asking for. You can also say "phone commands" to have it launch a voice dialer app on the phone, but it always says "This feature is not supported on the connected phone." -- even when the app works fine.

If you just want to use this as a plain bluetooth headset to launch Google Now, Vlingo, or Dragon MA and have it do the dialing etc., then it does work. But it's kind of a clunky experience.

No good.  When I talk on phone the person that I'm talking to can't understand me.  Have to take case apart to talk. Cost me 120 dollars for this at Verizon

I bought this product because of the voice activation, although it works fine the problem was that it does not work with multi destinations. Voice  only works with 1 stop at a time. Seller implies that it all works together but it doesn't. And to make things even worse seller wanted to keep 25% of the refund. Had to get Amazon involved to get problem resolved.

They said this would include one state filing for free, but it did not.  Had to pay an extra $20

Tech support stopped responding to emails, ignored further attempts at communicating via the ticketing system, didn't answer their phone system, and never returned any of the four voicemails I left.

The OBi worked great for two weeks, then stopped working entirely. I eventually discovered this was due to a firmware update that was pushed out and installed on the device without asking or informing the user.

Since the firmware update, both google voice and the internal obi device calling won't work. Documentation for the changes to Google Voice is sparse, with conflicting information in OBi forums and OBi help documents. I can't attempt to fix or RMA the device if Tech Support won't respond to their ticketing system, answer their phone system, or return voicemails.

Dont purchase if you plan, or think in the future youll want to integrate to a home smart service such as IFTTT, Echo, Google Home, etc.  Unlike every other manufacturer in this market, Chamberlain wants to charge a monthly nuisance fee for what they call Premium Service to enable access outside their application.

Sold me a phone that was sup to be unlocked and is not! The same phone we had to hold the charger in to keep the phone charging and when I tried to return it,it somehow got returned to me as "undeliverable " so after this awful experience I had to go to a local place and pay them to fix the charging port!  Still the phone is not unlocked but I  had to pay an extra $49.99 to get a phone to work that I shouldn't of and to get it unlocked is more yet! Beware

Just got this phone for when my mom-in-law is visiting from Taiwan.

Looks like a good basic phone.  Voice quality during test calls in our house was decent.

My main issue is with the included $15 Airtime Credit.  There was no Pay As You Go card included, after activation I could not make any calls, and AT&T's web site claimed "Need Initial Refill," so I "refilled" my phone account via credit card with $15.  About *two hours* after activation, I received an SMS that the original $15 Airtime Credit was added to my account.  Had I known, I would not have "refilled" my account.

I have been using these cameras for several years and generally been pleased... until recently. This company is trying to now get me to pay for a yearly subscription to view my cameras on-line. I think this is a serious problem and it was not disclosed that I would need to purchase an additional service when I made my original camera purchase. I have three cameras in one location and to be frank, am not sure why I need to pay an additional $20 a year for something that was originally free and has minimal benefits. I have written to this company questioning this policy twice so far and have received unapologetic generic responses. I am very angry and am looking for another product to replace my VueZone.

Use to be worth $19 a year, now it's closer to $60 and if you read the fine print, if you talk more than sixty minutes a month they could charge you extra or cancel your account - and or not let incoming calls come in without you knowing.  They charged me $60 in July and I just found out that they were stopping calls from coming in because I talked more than sixty minutes a month.  So you don't even know people are trying to reach you.  Thankfully this was only a backup phone.
