" ... The Magicjack Go was EXTREMELY simple and easy to set up. ... Instead of installing the ADT cellular service/option, which would have cost over $150 to install and added at least $20 a month to our ADT bill, I simply purchased the OBI200, adding a second VOIP device and second phone line thought Google Voice, dedicated to the ADT system. ... Even had ADT monitoring service run a test and the communications between our home and ADT worked! ... "

" ... It's everything I asked for. ... "
" ... Recommend it as an inexpensive alternative to corporate phone service (TWC, Verizon, Comcast, etc . ) ...

" ... I recommend plugging into your internet router, not your modem. ... "
