Google Voice, click call, can't select google chat to ring
KevinObi:
New Obi user, long time GVoice user.
I have mine setup, can get inbound and make outbound calls. Didn't turn off basictalk until I was sure this was going to work.
Hit my first snag, key use case for me is to click call on a call in the inbox or on a contact typed into the search, from there google voice gives you a pull down of your phone numbers and you choose one for it to ring which then connects you to the number you want to call.
Unfortunately, Google Chat is not in this list. I see Google Hangouts in the list but this and Google Chat which rings my Obi seem unconnected.
Am I missing something ? how do I get GVoice to ring my phone to make a call from GVoice interface ?

Get yourself a free DID from Callcentric or IPComms and configure it on your OBi. Then add it as one of your forwarding numbers in your Google Voice account. That number will appear in your drop down list for click to call.
KevinObi:
This is an interesting way around it. I wasn't aware of free phone numbers. Can't seem to find the free phone line on IPComms but trying CallCentric at the moment.
Thanks.
KevinObi:
Unfortunately, as I suspected, CallCentric free is not free. If you are in the US you are forced to pay $1.50 fee and $1.50 a month. The whole goal here with Obitalk is the free part.
Anyone else figure a way around this problem ?

Callcentric requires $1.50/month for E911 unless you say you will be using the service outside of US and Canada. Callcentric also provides CNAM for no charge.
