OBI 100 no longer rings or receives calls

[giantsfan]

After working for many years, the OBI 100 does not ring for Google Voice calls.  This stopped working sometime in the last few days.   I verified in the device call history that the calls are not being received.  I have been using the Simonics gateway for the last six months or so.   Outgoing calls are still fine.  Is anyone else still using the OBI 100 or do I need to give up and upgrade the device?

go to Google Voice legacy settings and delete the ObiTalk device.  Then go to http://simonics.com/news/ to follow what is going on there.

Thanks.   Looks like Bill Simon is actively posting in the Simonics forums.   Deleting the device as you and Bill suggested as a temporary fix works.   I'll monitor and, if needed, post on the Simonics forums about this issue.

We are also Simonics users for an Obi box as well as a Panasonic SIP phone.
Things here have also been dicey for some days already.

Makes it seem as though waiting a bit is a good choice IMO...as things remain in flux.

Should the gateway option fail completely & permanently, I think the easy fix we'll use is just to get a new number from Circlenet & add it as a forwarding phone at GV, leaving all else as-is.
That way the cool SMS functions & other stuff stick around & the cost is low enough to easily afford.
Sam did post here about what he was offering:

For us, the porting would not only forfeit the SMS portion that we use from GV, but it also means paying google their $3 port out fee, so...
Why not just keep the good features, avoid that fee, and just add another number to the account ??

Since I use CallCentric for 911 service I can also forward GV to it.
