Download the following new firmware version and install manually:
http://fw.obihai.com/OBi110-1-3-0-2886.fw
Please report back if that fixed the problem.
I must have looked around the internet for a whole day before I found this little nugget of information. It is such a crappy move to make that current firmware that their own website links to is not the most current for the OBi100 which makes people very confused. Thank you for posting this as I was getting all the same $10 Firmware Update fee notice everyone else was getting as I bought this in 2012.

Found the solution on another thread for the Obi100.
Download this firmware for the Obi110 http://fw.obihai.com/OBi110-1-3-0-2886.fw
(Yes, I know its for the Obi110 but it will work in the Obi100).
Then Reboot.
If you don't know how to install the firmware:
Dial * * * 1
It will give you the IP Address: 192.168.XXX.XXX (example 192.168.1.27 )
In your browser, enter the IP Address as the URL.
User Name: admin
password: admin
On the left side, navigate to SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Click DEVICE UPDATE
At the top where it says "Firmware Update
Select file to update firmware [BROWSE] ...."
Click BROWSE and add the file. Then click UPLOAD
Once it reboots its done.
In the obitalk portal, you can delete the old device and add a new device. Its should work with Google Voice using OAuth.
After having to re-authorize my Obi110 for several days, then a couple of normal days - it not only went offline today but also refused to re-authorize as it had been doing.
These instructions allowed me to update it and now it is back online.
(No thanks go to the attempts at getting 'protection money' from those in charge, however.)

Thank you so much @yorktown for detailed instructions.
Obitalk actually reconnected to google voice automatically for my obi100 after manual upgrade to firmware 2886.
Alperion:
Thank you so much yorktown!!!!!!! You're awesome. It finally works again. <3

maybe a class action should be brought, probably too few users but they disabled my device today saying to upgrade for $10 or go to forum and download firm. their own forum sticky shows incorrect firm. I just paid the $10 and will dispute charge with credit card company once its posted. Thatll cost them at least $25 in the dispute resolution fee and likely will get my $10 back.
ObiTalk, please please consider stopping this extortion tactic as it wont turn out in anyone's favor. The original agreement was a one time hardware purchase, not this $10/year crap.
