GV changing from XMPP

OK, I've got a 3-part question regarding the 1xx devices.
1. Assuming for now that GVGW will not be of much help for the new system, does that mean that the 1xx devices are no longer compatible with "native" Google Voice? (and no valid hacks?)
2. If #1 is true, does this mean we should go dig up those 2014 threads when XMPP was scheduled to be retired? I.E., is this the same situation? Would all(most) of the same workarounds apply?
3. Is there currently a convenient way to use a smartphone to initiate a GV outgoing call the "old" way? For example, I have never tried the GV android app, but can a call be requested on the app to ring your assigned phone device? As opposed to using a standard pc/browser to access GV.
Why do you appear here every few years, asking questions that have already been answered, and/or are pointless? Everything you need to know has been explained already. And, your f-ing OBi 100 was introduced some 10 years ago. You got your money's worth out of it...a few dollars a year.

Your personal commentary is not necessary. If you don't like my questions or my approach, you could simply ignore me, as I do anytime I see remarks on here which annoy me or don't pertain to me.
To address your comments directly- there is nothing in my current questions which are directly addressed already, since this latest update to GV has never been introduced before. It is quite possible that this situation is not identical to anything before and this is why I am seeking clarification.
The age/value/money's worth comment is a complete non-sequitur. I suppose everyone with a classic VW Beetle should just junk it since it's 80-year-old technology? If things still have valid use, there is no reason to stop using them. It's not for you to tell another person what to do with their property.
Instead of ridiculing my questions and me for asking them, I would appreciate if you would allow anyone else who might wish to comment that opportunity. I am quite certain that any comments would be helpful to a great many other users here.

The answer to that currently is unknown as it's too soon.
Best to just wait until this rolls out first so those devs of the 3rd Party Firmware can see if it's possible or not. Let's not jump the gun either way....
If not then snag an Obi200 series device.
This is just rolling out and the XMPP shut off date is June 18th. Plenty of time for you to figure out if your Obi100 will work or you'll need to save for a 200 series device.
I get Steve is annoyed because people keep asking bizarre things (Obi dying, Google Voice dying and the like) and not reading the information clearly posted.
By June 18th either you'll have to upgrade your Obi device or maybe the 3rd party devs will have something or some other new method will be created. Nothing is known until it rolls out to more people.
To your number 3 question.... You'll be able to use the Google Voice app on your Phone for VOIP calls. It's in beta at the moment. Otherwise Hangouts has been working for years for that function (need the Hangouts Dialer app).
Unless you mean calling over the Cell network? The Google Voice app can mask your outgoing Caller ID to your G-voice number when calling out over the Cell network.
I don't understand what you mean by "old" way?

The GV app can make an outgoing call from your cell phone. It doesn't do a callback to another number.
The Google Play android app "GVoice Callback" does allow you to initiate a call from your android phone and it will "call back" to one of your linked phone numbers and then complete the call.
However, I wouldn't count on it to continue working with all the changes Google is making to Google Voice but I could be wrong.

I got the impression from an earlier post, Bill, that you will be more than happy to end GVGW. Is that correct?
The only thing my feelings affect is how much effort I'll put into adapting GVGW to whatever SIP integration is available with Google. If information is made available and it's relatively straightforward, then GVGW may continue. Otherwise... it's been a good run. (6 years!) There are a lot of current active GVGW users.
OK, thanks! Didn't realize GVGW has been around that long. I only signed up last year and thought it very cool. We'll just have to see what the future brings.
