[GreenKeys] OT telephone question

Wed Oct 17 12:11:12 EDT 2018

If you aren't opposed to using a different VoIP device, I can vouch for the
Obihai Obi200 outputting enough voltage to ring physical bells-- at least
it's worked well on my old beige ITT handset. They often go on sale for
$34.99 or so at Newegg.com. There's also the Obi202 that can drive two
lines at the same time. Their big marketing push is that they're compatible
with Google Voice, but they should be compatible with a lot of other VoIP
services if you're not opposed to tedious configurations.
