Google Voice and Obi200

Are you bored and itching for a fight? You know what I said the last time you brought up that link. It's temporary. My friend Red is just not as concerned as I am about publishing answers that won't need to be changed later.

Do you honestly believe the menu selection for Legacy Google Voice isn't also "temporary?" I wonder how many answers will have to be "changed later" because you told users to select Legacy Google Voice from the menu but it's no longer an option?
If this was in any way a big deal I'm quite sure the Community Managers would have shut Red down from using those redirection links. But they haven't. If you can find one Community Manager who says we shouldn't be using the redirection links I will never post another one.

Go take your meds. You're making a BFD out of nothing. The CMs don't care what we post, as long as it isn't abusive. I choose to post the method recommended by the product team, with whom I'm in touch almost daily. My original post on this thread was correct, in that getting to the Legacy website by clicking the "TRANSFER" link is an unrelated consequence, not the correct way to do so. There are many ways to light a BBQ. Some ways, such as pouring a gallon of gasoline on the charcoal, or aiming a liquid oxygen hose at it, work, but have unintended consequences.
Find something more useful to do with your time, then badgering me.

Every Google Voice help page, that describes an action that can only be performed on the Legacy website, has the set of instructions as shown in the attached screenshot. They've done this on purpose. When (not if) the Legacy site is shut down, they'll remove that chunk of text from all of the help pages.

Problem solved!
The first half of the problem was getting to the legacy website, and I was able to do that.
The second half was going to settings....... And clicking on google chat! This was not obvious to me as a new user. I made no connection in my mind that "google chat" and "obi200 not receiving calls" had anything to do with each other.
So, any newbies, with this problem, just go to google legacy, and click the google chat box.
I KNEW there was a simple answer, but finding it was the problem.
Thanks so much for the help received.... It was just enough to get me close enough to where I could figure it out.
