Newegg.com - Polycom OBi200 Home Telephone Internet Adapter for $40
It has been a very long time since we had a deal on the Polycom (formerly Obihai) telephone Internet adapters.This deal:
This can give you free home telephone service, for making and receiving calls.
Plug it in to your high speed Internet router and any regular cordless phone (or
buy one), link to a free
Google Voice account, and you will be able to make calls within the US and Canada for free, receive calls, voice mail with transcribing, and text messaging.
Beware that 911 emergency service can be added for an annual fee of
about $20, but is not included free when using a Internet-based telephone service like this.
Also on sale:
- OBi202 2-Line version for $75 (normally about $90) which can handle two phone numbers on separate phones.This may be a good option for a small business.OBi212 1-Line Internet and 1-Line POTS for $80 with code DECPLY23 .Normally about $100.This model is meant for those who want to use both a traditional telephone service (POTS) and want to make/receive certain calls over the Internet.For example, if your building has telephone service with free local calling and 911 calling, the OBi212 can be setup to route those calls over the phone line and other calls through Google Voice.
