simplest way from Simonics Obi100 to Obi200 with Google Voice? (& keep number)
OhioGuy:
I set up our Obi100 4 or 5 years ago as our home number, and messed with it very little after that. I think last fall I set up the Simonics Google Voice Gateway for the Obi100 to keep it working.
We just went on a ~1 week vacation, then came back to find the Obi100 no longer working. I had heard rumors that it would eventually stop working, so I had already purchased an Obi200.
We really depend on this for our home phone line, which we use for 99.9% of our phone calls. Is there an easy and simple way to keep using the same Google Voice number and move things over to the Obi200?
Thanks for any help!

It's the same procedure as when you setup your OBi100. Click Add Device from the dashboard and follow the instructions. After the OBi200 is added to the dashboard, sign into your Google account. Now click on SP1, select GV and follow the instructions. That's it.
After getting the OBi200 working, you can setup the OBi100 as a second line for the same or different GV account.
Edit:
I never had a GVGW account. I think you need to delete or disable the account, otherwise you might have trouble receiving inbound calls.

Thanks for the reply, azrobert. It did turn out to be pretty easy, just remove the old device, log in to my Google Voice Account, and then the rest was pretty automated. I was back up and working less than an hour after I started unplugging cords.

Wait, what?? I was ready to chuck the old Obi100, thinking it was useless at this point. (since I thought that GV was no longer working with it, even with the Simonics GV Gateway)
Can you direct me to a FAQ for setting the old one up as a second GV line? Thanks again!

What is your desired end state?
(I just moved from GVGW (with my Panasonic KX-TGP600) to Obi202 (with the same Panasonic KX-TGP600).
Are the Obi100 and Obi200 on the same LAN?
What do you want where?

The OBi200 can be used as a GVGW for the OBi100. You can have 1 or more GV accounts defined on the OBi200 then route calls from/to the OBi100. I posted a link, but then deleted it because it had unique code for the person I was helping. I don't have time now, but I'll post the config later tonight or tomorrow. You will need to know how to use OBi Expert to configure this.
