OBi212 Does not work with Google Voice
DevDave:
OBi212(the model with 1 phone port and 1 line port) Does not seem to work with Google Voice. Maybe its my problem rather than the product's problem. The only reason I suspect the product is that the OBI212 seems to be so uncommonly used compared to the OBi202 and other products that perhaps it's firmware bugs are overlooked. With fresh default settings, I've gone through the setup tutorial several times. Each time it fails to add Google Voice as a VOIP service provider. After the setup wizard completes, the OBi dashboard show status "configuring" for SP1. After some time, the status shows "offline" for SP1 Google Voice. Please can anyone verify that OBi212 is currently working with Google Voice? Much Thanks.

As I said in my reply to your other post, the OBi212 has only been available for about 1 week so it is not surprising that there are few if any posts about using it with Google Voice.
However I would stake a modest bet that the 212 is very similar to the 202 which has been giving good service for some years with GV and other ITSPs. I doubt there is much if any difference between the FXS ports of the two, nor between the CPU, memory etc. I would not be surprised if they also use common firmware. The 100 and 110 have a common firmware. The 200 and 202 have a common firmware.
I think it is much more likely that your problem is user error, especially if you have not configured GV on an OBi during the last 3 years.
I suggest you follow SteveInWA's instructions. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460. You can omit the initial bit about updating the firmware. :)

Thank you for the response. I've gone over several tutorials very carefully. I know user error is likely but I'd still appreciate if anyone could verify that the OBi212 is currently working with GV.

Please post what your current firmware version is.

If you exactly follow my tutorial, as drgeoff linked, it should work. If it doesn't work after doing those exact steps, then fully describe the point in the process at which it fails.
The 212 is very similar to the 200 and 202; the only difference is the integrated circuit used to control the phone and line ports (the Subscriber Line Interface Circuit, or SLIC). The ICs in the 210 support the line port. There is no reason that Google Voice wouldn't work if configured properly on a working Google Voice number.
