I already had caller ID when Ibought this, so not sure. I bought it so I could monitor OUTGOING calls (time call was made and time length of call), because it tracks that as well, whereas standard modern phones do not. Will do this on any phone jack in the house, so if you have one not being used, nobody will notice this device.

Well, no one knows, but one would hope if they start charging that they charge $20 or $30 a year, like Magic Jack or Net Talk Duo. If that price works for those guys, it should work for Google. Paying $15 to $30 a month isn't worth it for people who already have cell phones, but at $20 or $30 a year, it's nice to have a landline.

It's free and is built-in to phone. This is the greatest feature! Any call you've receive with a digit ID can be blocked. Once done, your phone will ring once if they call you again, then they're gone. The caller continues to hear the phone ring so no one is upset with a rejection notice of any kind. It's awesome.

No, this model does not have caller ID. This is clearly shown on the Amazon page for this product.

No, there is no monthly or annual service fee (as long as Google Voice remains free). There is only the device fee.

The package has the device you connect your phone to (I believe GrandStream HT-502). Yes you will have a monthly charge, you will have to pay PhonePower about $258.86 for 2 years of service. Also, you will have to pay taxes for the 'free' year, which I'm guessing another $58.86 (so maybe $317 for 2 years of service).

Yes- We do not have a land line so you had to get Verizon cell service. It costs about $30.00 for the year. Small price to pay for peace of mind.

No, you program in which ever phone number you desire. The device calls the number directly so you are not paying for a call center. Simple to use and I like not having to deal with a service that is redundant.

You can buy the phone full price. Then you can pay at&t; or whoever month to month fee for nerwork service without being in a contract with the service.

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.

Yes, it does display caller ID if you have this service; however, the down side is that it requires batteries for the digital ID to work. I am currently using the Amazon rechargeable batteries for that. I highly recommend this product

This LG Optimus Android phone come without service you must purchase a phone card each month. I prefer $50.00 30 day card for text, talk and web. This is the best pre-paid phone I have ever owned. I bought 2 just in case I lose one or it is stolen.

We pay three or four dollars a month, just taxes and local fees. That's for unlimited calls anywhere in the U.S. No idea about Canada.

It has nothing to do with Google. THey (OOMA) will give you a number (you can choose form a list) or you can "port over" you current number. Once you buy the OOMA equipment (more or less a "modem") you only pay the federal "taxes and fees?". So it isn't totally "free" but my cost is about $3.50 (in taxes and "fees) a month for (IP) phone service or about 45 dollars less than with the phone company. Hope this helps.

Our voice mail comes through the phone company at no charge. I don't use that phone feature.

Don't pay $15 more than face value for this, thats such a rip off. I buy my straight talk service at walmart.com & I actually pay under face value (6 months for service for $249 with no tax/6 months=$41.50 for each month for the same thing!)

I don't remember what the warranty was. Assuming I would have to pay for shipping to return it, I thought that even if it was under warranty trying to get a replacement would not be worth the trouble. Currently I am without a caller ID.
