question for Simonics re:upgrade to Obi200
billsimon:
I don't understand what you are confused about. If you got an Obi200, configure it in your Obitalk portal for Google Voice and don't configure GVGW.
The settings on the GVGW dashboard only affect GVGW. Which is essentially defunct as Google lets the XMPP side of things die off.
To be fully done with GVGW, besides not configuring it on your device, log in to the dashboard at https://simonics.com/gw . If it shows "Online" then click the button to go Offline. Then use the Deauthorize link to revoke authorization from Google. You don't really need to do any of this, but you can do it to be sure GVGW is no longer connected to the account.

I am confused since there is relationship between the GV account/phone number, the Obi device, and the GVGW under the same phone number. You said GVGW goes by the account, not the device. So by registering a new Obi200 on the old GV number, won't that still have a connection to GVGW?
Is there a way to know if a particular call is being routed through GVGW or just native GV?
Is there a way to know if a particular call is using XMPP or the new SIP?
If I revoke GVGW authorization, do you retain my registration in case I return?
**note- still operating another 100 device under old config for the time being, so these questions relate to both
Thanks
billsimon:
GVGW is configured with your Google account. But if there is no device connected to GVGW, then it doesn't do anything.
Everything depends on how your Obi is configured. If your Obi is configured for GVGW and GVGW is connected to your Google account, then your calls will come through that way.
If your Obi is configured directly for Google Voice and NOT for GVGW, then obviously the calls aren't coming to you through GVGW.
If you revoke GVGW authorization you could come back later and restart your account (it remains set at "paid" status) but I don't have any reason to believe that GVGW will remain viable much longer.

EDIT --As I understand it GVGW will be ending soon, after that there is no returning, GVGW is no more
Thanks for the service, and thanks for trying to make it work with Google Sip--

As I understand it, there is no returning, GVGW is over, hasta la vista baby, adios
You can return to GVGW until Simonics closes it. That has not happened yet but it could any day now. It is up to Bill Simon to decide whether to do it before or after GV finally withdraws XMPP. No XMPP will make connecting to GVGW pointless.
