Use Your Sprint™ Number with Your OBi

OBi + Sprint™ + Google Voice™ Provides Convenience, One-Number Simplicity
and a Host of Great Calling & Messaging Features (for Free)

Google and Sprint recently announced and implemented a way for Sprint mobile phone customers to be able to use Google Voice + Sprint communications services together in a very seamless and simple-to-use way.

     

With Sprint + Google Voice integration, OBi users get the following benefits:
  • Incoming calls will ring the home phone connected to the OBi and the Sprint mobile phone simultaneously.
  • Calls using the OBi's phone will have "land line-like" quality — Bad cell reception is not an issue with the OBi.
  • OBi users can talk as much as they want from home, for free when calling the USA or Canada*.
  • Calls made from the phone attached to the OBi will display the Sprint number as the outgoing Caller ID.
  • Feature-rich voice messaging used by Google Voice can be accessed from either the Sprint mobile or home phone connected to the OBi.
  • With an OBi, users can have 2 different calls going at the same time, e.g. the kids can use the home phone connected to the OBi, while you are using your Sprint mobile phone on a separate call.
  • A visual and/or audible signal (stutter dial tone) will appear when new or unheard messages are in the user's Google Voice voicemail inbox.
  • From the home phone, OBi users can make international calls using Google's low international rates.


                                   

Calls made to the USA and Canada from the phone connected to the OBi are free* and calls to all-other international numbers receive Google Voice's great rates and excellent voice quality.

Enabling this functionality is free. Just go to the Google Voice and sign-up with your Sprint number. If you ever want to stop using your Sprint number as your Google Voice number, you may select "disable" next to your Sprint number in your Google Voice Settings Phones tab.

* Google previously announced that calls to the USA and Canada will be free through 2012.
* Calls made to or from the OBi will NOT count towards the OBi user's Sprint mobile minutes.
* For the other side of the call made to/from the OBi, the call will be billed as a call to a Sprint mobile number.
