I hope you found this by now, but for everyone's sake...
 
Google Voice didn't go poof, nor did their agreement with ObiHai...
 
The deal was that the Obi 100 series boxes were unsupported as of that date over 5 years ago.
 
The Obi 300 series DOES work with Google Voice with no interruptions (though there was a firmware, etc update needed when the change occurred).
 
I have an Obi 302 (2 line/phone out box) working right now right next to my screen, in fact.
 
The Obi 300 & several other devices/phones aimed at the business customer also work fine with Google Voice these days.
 
Personally, I hate it when a manf. either cannot or does not allow their devices to continue working, including Apple, which you can't get anything for these days on older devices, and it looks like even the iPhone 5 is heading for Bricksville, as they apparently won't have IOS updates for it beyond ver. 12.x, with the newest devices on ver. 13.x now!

OOOpppsss... That 300-series and 302 I mentioned should be 200-series and 202 that I have.
 
Sorry, was working off memory. ;)

Not to mention you were also working off a six (6) year old thread, too.

Wouldn't the worst case scenario be having to pay for a pandemic that could have been avoided or contained?

Wouldn't we be better off paying for them to stay in good health rather than them being the source of the next pandemic?:

I don't have the patience to watch a March 2019 video of people droning on and
on for an hour.
 
When you say "paying them to stay in good health" what exactly do you
mean? Who's going to 'pay them'? We taxpayers??

Or Craigslist or Ebay. You can probably also find a whole stereo with speakers
that's better than the boom box for less that $97. Better speakers will
very likely sound better, but if it's a cheap boom box, only so much you
can do regardless of how great the speakers are.

Your boombox already has an amplifier, no need for powered speakers.

Economists think that. Look up modern monetary theory and the work of

Why not? Do some research to decide what you need, then find one that
meets your criteria. Be careful of the add-on warranties, though. Some
are too expensive to be useful.

Great advice and my very first laptop came from Best Buy and it really was a great one. When I bought it I got 18 months free financing but paid it off
in 12 months.
