This method in actually very simple and those who have used services like MagicJack and Google Voice will feel right at home. Basically, we will be using a device called Obihai 202 to turn a FREE Google Voice service into a free MagicJack like a home phone line. The Obihai 202 is just a small converter box that allows you to use VOIP services as a traditional landline. After setup, you can dust off your old traditional landline phone and put it back to work with your Obihai 202. Best of all you no longer will you have to log onto your computer to use your Google Voice service.____________________________________________________________________
Why is Google Voice required For Obihai 202 Setup
Now you may be wondering why you must have Google Voice for this setup. Well, the Obihai 202 simply provides the hardware and software needed to make phone calls over your old phone. The device is missing the ability to actually handle the routing of phone calls. This is where Google Voice comes in to fill in the gap and do this for your Obihai 202 device. With that said you do not have to use Google Voice as your VoIP service. This device will work with almost any VoIP provider. Google Voice, in my opinion, is just the best deal for VoIP service you will find. I mean it's FREE and works as good or if not better than many of the paid services. How can you go wrong with that?

Plus you will also have the benefits of making and receiving phone calls in a traditional way. Something I did not realize until recently is you can port your mobile number to Google Voice. This is a little costly at $20 at the present time. Still, Google Voice is a great way to save your old cell phone number without any monthly charges.
