Obi products and GV now on PBX (need reliable info sources NOT nerdvittles)
SteveInWA:
You just made livefortechnology's case.
TSElliot:
In one sense. But the reality is, eventually the 200 will be in the same situation. Hardware plus free GV is a moving target. It's only a matter of time before problems arise with the 200 and folks will be faced with a mile of hoops or buying something else.
Any solution that uses GV is temporary, unless Google sells that solution.
GPz1100:
To the OP,
I used this method -
https://community.freepbx.org/t/how-to-guide-for-google-voice-with-freepbx-14-asterisk-gvsip-ubuntu-18-04/50933/1
It's long, complicated but the end result works 99.9% just as good as the motif module before it.
If installing 32bit, make sure you the 32 bit versions of some dependencies (and adjust paths accordingly).
Agreed, sip should be easier, but can fully appreciate a software engineer's perspective about job security and promoting future demand. Remember back in the days we had a dos command prompt gui was a type of brownie.

Hardware: Raspberry Pi Zero W and ObiHai 110. Also have a 100 with Nat's firmware that I will try if this fails
For installation on a Raspberry Pi of any recent model, your best plan of attack may be to use the instructions here:
https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30661088-PBX-FreePBX-for-the-Raspberry-Pi
Then to add Naf's patches:

I would stay away from the Nerdvittles software. It's been pointed out recently on DSLreports that if you read their install script they install quite a bit of extra software that isn't needed, and that could possibly slow down a Pi. And then half the time the NV guy responds with insults rather than addressing the points raised. I did take a look at their script, and saw some rather bizarre inclusions. And nearly every article tries to get you to sign up with some service, such as a cloud server, that generates a commission for the site owner.
The posts linked above will give you a much cleaner install on a Raspberry Pi.

After GV just changed their certificates on Friday yet again, I gave up on Asterisk/FreePBX/Raspberry Pi. It was an adventure and good to brush up my UNIX skills - been running that with a 110 for a couple years. But over the past year or so, every couple weeks to every couple months I need to monkey around with the system.
I've spent over a hundred hours building new images, compiling, DLing and combing through forum after forum, trying to find the latest fixes, the right combination of all the different applications and the right settings for each of them to get it set up. Then a short time later, it dies and I start all over again.
This stuff is unbelievably complicated. There are thousands of settings and hundreds of combinations of all the different software parts like Debian, Asterisk, FreePBX, GVSip. So I broke down, paid $46 for a 200 off of eBay and set it up. Price has jumped a bit, guess many people are bailing on this as well. What a shame, loved the ability to block an entire area code.
