I have an OBi202 into which I have a hooked a 1973 era Western Electric touch tone phone.  This device was great, and for some reason they discontinued it.

I wonder if the Grandstream is a functional equivalent.  If so, I may pick it up just for backup.

What's kind of cool about having a VoIP line with its own number is you can configure a bunch of things (like how fast the dial tone is) which you never could with a POTS phone.  In the case of the OBi202, you connect to it via a web interface and set it up that way.  

Worth doing.  VOIP.MS is charged as you use it, and currently there are no monthly fees.  You sort of fill it up with dollars, and you won't be charged until you use that much phone service.
