Click one of these links to skip down:
Created by iiNet Labs, BoB2™ combines everything the original BoB™ was loved for - plug-'n'-play handset, sleek design and great features - with a polished finish and an eye towards the future.
Its physical form is much the same as our previous creation BoB Lite™, however it comes with a multitude of additional features, notably a built-in answering machine and its own DECT phone handset. The BoB2™ also includes parental control features, giving parents more options and control over how the Internet is used within the home.
It's also been designed to support the products of the future; BoB2™ is compatible with iiNet TV and the National Broadband Network right out of the box.
The price for BoB2™ is $279 outright or $199 on a 24 month contract. All BoB2™ units come with one included DECT handset.
BoB2™ Rental is available for all iiNet customers (residential and business), as well as Westnet and Netspace residential customers.
