Call from Obihai 202 to my mobile number always busy - why?
GPz1100:
No clue then. Google voice only provides CID number, not name.
I *highly* recommend resetting everything so you can start back at square one.

GPz - Reset did not help. Same issue.
By the way, I have posted a different question at
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=13613.0
Thanks,
GPz1100:
The stars and planets must be in alignment for you then.
I don't know what else to suggest other than starting over with a new and different google voice account/number. If that still fails then I'd exchange the obi for another one.

GPz1100 - Well, I finally took the plunge, and it's now working. My original land line number (area code 212) has been ported successfully to the GV account, and calls to and from that number are working in the Obihai 202 on the cheap plastic phone on Line 1.
Whew.
I was worried that the earlier glitch meant I'd have a problem, but at the end got lucky.
FYI - I did NOT re-try with a new GV account because I finally understood (from Steve's posts elsewhere) that I'd need a different "linked to" outside number, and I don't have enough outside numbers to experiment like that.
Have not yet set up anything special on the GV voicemail or anything else.
And in 10 days I am going to do the whole thing again for my second land line - my wife's important number.
Thanks!!

A month later, I have created a SECOND Gmail email + Google Voice account with a phone number and set that up in SP2 on my Obihai 202, and I am getting the same problem !!
The new Gmail I created is 212xxxxxxxF@gmail.com and it got a Google Voice number that is 516 yyy-yyyy. I put 516 yyy-yyyy into SP2 in the Obihai 202. It works to dial out and receive calls.
I picked the Gmail name 212xxxxxxxF@gmail.com because 212-xxx-xxxx is the same as my land line number that will eventually be ported into the Google Voice account. When I'm done, 516 yyy-yyyy on Obihai SP2 will become 212-xxx-xxxx.
(I also called Verizon's Porting department and ordered the porting of the 212-xxx-xxxx land line number to a Verizon prepaid phone, which will complete 2 - 10 days from now. When that first port is complete, I will re-port the 212-xxx-xxxx number from the Verizon prepaid phone to my new 212xxxxxxxF@gmail.com + Google Voice account.)
BUT ... right now, my plastic phone plugged into SP2 on the Obihai 202 with new number 516 yyy-yyyy gives me a fast busy when I use it to call 212-xxx-xxxx. Same as a month ago - above.
