Would it work with OBi202 VoIP Phone Adapter (I am using google voice) ?

Yes and no... if you are using this alongside the OBI202 VOIP adapter to have multiple phones, then yes. If you are trying to make them work one through the other, then no. A VOIP adapter is to allow you to use a regular phone with a VOIP service. So if all you need is a single phone working with a single VOIP account, then just the grandstream phone will work (and it has two lines, by the way, so you could use it with two numbers). Or you can skip the grandstream phone and plug a regular phone into the VOIP adapter. If you used both, you'd probably want to have at least two separate SIP accounts - or make sure the SIP account you have supports multiple devices simultaneously. TL;DR: You only need one or the other, not both.

You probably could use it as a VOIP headset with the right adapters. It's really intended for use with a dedicated dial pad. I would look for a cheaper solution for VOIP.

This is a great question. I'd like to think this can still be serviced, but here's what OBi appears to have posted. http://blog.obihai.com/2013/10/important-message-about-google-voice.html If anyone finds an alternative which is viable with existing Google voice accounts, please share. Thanks

VOIP can be pretty data intensive and I wouldn't recommend using this for it. I would go with a powerline adapter

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

The phone came with an adapter for a voip or a traditional copper line connector. Works with both and has a Y adapter for a second headset.

Yes, You can configure Google Voice with Sipsorcery in order to support SIP protocol or you can use Obi adapter as well, it easier to configurate, forum is great and came with Google Voice preload configuration

Yes, it works nicely with VOIP. That's what I use it for. You still need to have a Analog Telephone Adapter between the phone base and the network you are attached to.

You simply port your number over to it or they will give you a new number when sign up for google voice and then they can call you. You can also use the Obi on lots of other Voip services as well.

This is a myth. Obihai officially support Google Voice. All it take is to google for it :-). Check it out on Obihai's website.http://blog.obihai.com/2014/09/google-voice-and-obihai-update.html

I believe I read somewhere that the Obi phone output jack was designed to have enough power to ring a traditional "bell ringing" phone so what you're suggesting sounds like it might work.

I'm certainly no expert, but it appears to be limited to Skype. I don't see enough functionality in it to allow for other VOIP services.

The dialer does work with VoIP systems like ooma, but you do need to plug it into a standard phone jack for it to work.

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.

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.
