- Polycom OBi200 Home Telephone Internet Adapter for $40
Still available is the Polycom OBI200 telephone Internet adapter.
Price is $50, and code PYNYB2NG takes $10 off in the cart.
Normally sells for about $50 to $60.
This can provide home telephone service over your home Internet connection, without paying for a telephone service.
Our family has used these in each of our homes since 2014, and they have worked well.
While cell phones are far more convenient, a (free) house phone has come in handy on occasion.
Plug one end into your high speed Internet router and other end into any regular cordless phone (or buy one), link to a free Google Voice account, and you will be able to make calls within the US and Canada for free, receive calls, and have text messaging and voice mail with transcribing.
Since this is an Internet-based telephone service, 911 emergency service will not work.
Use your mobile phone for emergency calls, or E911 can be added for about $20 for a year.
E911 immediately sends your home address to emergency responders, so they can respond quicker than giving your address while a stressful emergency situation is happening.
Also on sale:
OBi202 2-Line version for $78 (normally about $90).
This may be a good option for a small business, so 2 people can make and receive calls at the same time.
OBi212 1-Line Internet and 1-Line POTS for $80 with code PYNYB3NG .
Normally about $100.
This model is for those who want to use both a traditional telephone service (POTS) and want to make/receive certain calls over the Internet.
For example, if your building has telephone service that already works for local calling and 911 calling, the OBi212 can be configured to route those calls over the regular phone line and other calls through Google Voice.

- Polycom OBi202 Home Telephone Internet Adapter for $60 (expired)
$75, and code PYCH62NG applies $15 off.
This can give you free home telephone service, with a little bit of setup.
This is the 2-line model, which lets you use up to 2 home telephones and up to 4 voice-over-IP services at once.

This box sits between your high speed Internet router and a home telephone (like a cordless phone), and links to a free Google Voice account and phone number.

Take your number with you by bringing this box to any home or office where it can be plugged-in to an Ethernet port.

- 2-Outlet Surge Protector With 5 USB Charging Ports (expired)
This China-made 2-outlet surge protector also has 5 USB charging ports.
We would not trust this cheap device to protect our expensive electronics during a thunderstorm, but for a lightweight USB charger that also has a 2 power outlets, $10 is a pretty good deal.
Other similar Orico products have decent reviews and support international power (100-240V).
Beware, this deal ships from China, so your order could take 3-5 weeks until delivery to the US.
