You realize the announcement is 2 years notice? Did you notice it said that devices already provisioned will continue to work past 12/18/23?

Does that mean you will just have to purchase their newer obi box? Or that they are not supporting it in the future?

They do not have a new OBi box that supports Google Voice.

(They do have business phones with GV support https://www.poly.com/us/en/solutions/platform/google/phones?cjevent=833d447f7fba11ec82b35e050a82b838&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=cj&utm_campaign=Skimlinks)

Around the same time Amazon Payments died, Google announced that they would no longer support Obi integration. Then Obi announced that they had developed an official relationship with Google, bringing it back to life.

Does the new obi300 series work with google voice If not what service is it for? Is it worth it to buy a obi200 now for google voice or it will stop working soon?

What (if any) landline service do you have now? How much would you pay until 12/18/23?
There is also a good chance that those that were linked before will continue to work past that date (as stated in the notice and pointed out:
You realize the announcement is 2 years notice? Did you notice it said that devices already provisioned will continue to work past 12/18/23?
)

So my OBI200 just stopped working. Dead.

From searching it seems like they go now for $200? Am I missing something? What are my options for Google voice calling via landline

Bumping as I too am interested. I don't have a landline but would like to get one. What is the cheapest option these days?
