Which OBi Should I Get?
Obihai has four telephone adapters, currently - The OBi100, OBi110, OBi200 and OBi202. See the chart below for an overview of the product features. In essence, these products work with your phone in the same manner except for one key feature. The OBi110 has a physical port for an analog line service. This port, labeled LINE on the OBi110, can be thought of as a gateway to a traditional phone service. The service can be from a land line carrier. It can also be from a VoIP service, when the phone port of the service provider's device is plugged into the LINE port of the OBi110.
