Obi202 Static when switching back back to original caller after call waiting
Mindblogging:
Let's see...
The OBi device (i.e. OBi200, OBi202, or other OBis)...bought 1-time, gets the following when Google Voice service is added and which Google Voice service is also free:
Outbound/inbound calls are FREE in the US/Canada.
No monthly charges.
No yearly charges.
Free call-forwarding to your cell phone (or others) with Linked numbers so you won't missed important calls.
Free to forward message to your Gmail email account so you can review.
Free get email alerts for missed calls.
You can screen calls before actually talking to the caller.
Send calls to GV voicemail by Do Not Disturb.
Has Voicemail greetings or record your own greetings and also manage greetings if you have multiple greetings.
And overseas calling with rates applied (low cost too).
Once in while a little hiccup, a little static here and there. "Hey, let me call you back" on this free Google Voice service with my OBi here. WOW.
And I have multiple OBi devices with Google Voice services and have not paid a phone bill for the last 6 plus years. Love it!
Paid that monthly phone bill (to Comcast, AT&T, others...?) or pay nothing. Hmmmm? Imagine Google Voice service (or Google, or Alphabet) deemed Google Voice service no longer needed and ends the service (again).
Btw, if you have not done so, update your OBi firmware here (free too) http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9.0
Thank you.

I am grateful to the service...
Point is, it worked fine for a year, year and a half which means the technology was fine...some change was made either by obi or google that caused this...
As an obi customer, they should still reply even if only to say google made a change which caused this and they have attempted to contact Google and what the response was.
Just some human decency and good customer support.
FYI - went to your update link - I cannot see any yellow triangle in my admin - on what tab specifically would I see this?

To magicwine,
Go back to that link, select firmware for your OBi device and save to desktop but DO NOT OPEN: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9.0
At phone connected to your OBi device phone port, dial ***1 and retrieve the IP Address on a piece of paper.
Open a browser (Chrome) on a pc, input that IP Address into the address bar, hit Enter at your keyboard.
Log into your OBi device with default username/password as admin/admin (unless you've changed it)
Click System Management-->Device Update-->Firmware Update-->Select file to update firmware.
Browse to the file you downloaded at your desktop and select it.
Click the "Update" button.
Allow up to a minute to complete and will also reboot.
Soulcommander:
What happened to the automatic update via dialing directly into the Obi and using the prompts and auto update feature? When I check it that way it says that I am up to date although I see the file available is a newer file then what my device is using. To reply to the comment of the other poster who was being sarcastic about the service being free etc etc it's not that I or anybody else doesn't appreciate Google Voice being free it's just that it used to work and all of a sudden it doesn't now and you just kind of wonder what is going on.

I am experiencing the same static problems. Any updates would be greatly appreciated! I only noticed problems with mine within about the last 4 months.
I have helped so many people buy and set up these devices, that I am now worried. I will hold off recommending these units until a fix is released.
