Which OBi Should I Get?
Obihai have two telephone adapters, currently - The OBi100 and the OBi110. The two products function the same except for one 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. This gateway functionality is useful for a number of reasons.
OBi110 LINE Port:
- Allows you to keep your current land line service yet take advantage of the OBi device's VoIP services.
- Provides for an emergency calling services route when connected to a service supporting the same.
- Acts as a gateway and bridge to the PSTN for calls originating on a VoIP service from a remote OBi device or soft phone.

- One Phone Port: For connection to an analog cordless or corded phone
- The OBi Phone Port Can Power All the Phones in Your Home
- One Ethernet Port: For connection to an Internet router
- Support for up to 2 Commercial VoIP services
