Please Help Me Get Incoming Calls on My Obi200 to Work
lottamoxie:
Update:
Removing the linked phone (which was my cell phone on the Freedompop network) worked. I just tried calling my GV number and my phone connected to the Obi adapter rings normally.
Sooo.... I need to figure out what cell service I can get that will work with GV. I have a Tracphone SIM card and service on that. Will Tracfone service work? In my area Tracfone runs off the Verizon network. And Freedompop uses a custom APN on the AT&T network

Freedompop is dogpoop. Sure, you can use any conventional land line or mobile phone service as a forwarding destination. For best results, you'd want to use a carrier that supports Conditional Call Forwarding, so calls forwarded to that carrier number, which are not answered, will be sent back to Google Voice voicemail, vs. the carrier's voicemail.
Tracfone on Verizon Wireless should work fine.

Like I said, I haven't had any problems with freedompop until this update. It maybe dogpoop, but it's dogpoop that was working with GV/hangouts and could be a linked phone that got calls.
btw, I activate Google voicemail for any linked mobile phone in GV so Google VM will pick up the call if there's no answer, and the carrier's vm will not pick up the call.

not positive, but this message
The caller then hears a message that the phone number is not currently available. They are unable to leave a voicemail message.
I believe is what callers here if the phone number is blocked on the GV page.
You might want to check your account and verify that those numbers were not accidentally blocked.
SteveInWA:
Specific to Google Voice, there are two different levels of blocking.
If you mark a call as spam, future calls from that number will not ring on your end, and will be immediately forwarded to your voicemail box.If you click the "block" selection, then the caller won't connect at all; they will hear a typical telephone carrier message that the call can't be completed, and then it will hang up.
