You may need to be signed up and logged in to read all of that. It tells how to obtain your GV authentication token. Possibly that would enable GV on OBis which have not been updated with firmware for the new authentication process. And perhaps all OBis could again be configured for GV without using the portal.
I have NOT yet had sufficient opportunity to verify any of the above.
Edit. Also see post #3 at http://pbxinaflash.com/community/index.php?threads/asterisk-11-oauth-gv-patch.17277/#post-111678 but there may be some concerns over GVSip.

My support concern is mainly if the capability to update to the new GV authentication (a) becomes essential & (b) ever relies on having a paid service plan.
There is a lot of misinformation on the forums about the support fee. Obihai recently sent out an update, explaining the two different fee-based offerings (extended warranty for devices currently covered by the one-year warranty, or extended technical support for those devices currently past the one-year warranty). None of this has anything to do with, nor directly impacts, the ability to use Google Voice on an OBi device.
There's really no valid reason to continue using the old firmware or the old Google authentication method. The new, OAUTH 2.0 method is much more secure, is an industry standard, and can be used regardless of whether you pay a fee or not.

Thanks for your replies, guys!
Manually upgrading to the current fw build, then updating the GV settings via the ObitTalk portal is the way I will eventually go, but I might try out build 2824 first, just to see if it connects as azrobert reports.
@drgeoff, yup, you do need to sign up to read that, but it's potentially useful stuff to know about.
@SteveInWA, I understand/agree that the GV setup thing isn't directly a result of Obihai's support changes, but it is something that users may/have run into when they're running on older firmware & the various forum posts on the subject illustrate that it hasn't been clear that users don't need to subscribe to a paid support plan at that point - I can't help thinking that at least some of the misinformation on the forums, is because Obihai have not explained this particularly well.
