Obi 100
vtsnaab:
Adding a wee bit to what A_Friend has said here:
Our good, old Obi1xx quit working with GV around the deadline posted here.
Rather than porting our GV number out, we just got a new number with Circlenet & Sam set up the CID to our GV number.
All the other GV goodies still work the same AND incoming calls come through the Obi box correctly & outgoing calls show with our GV number correctly.
That is the best combination of services IMO as compared with the other providers available.
It has a great price & the most helpful folks who are willing to support (in the original meaning...) their customers in ways that actually help.
It is always important to remember that Obi boxes are just ATAs that were designed to work via Obihai & GV...but that they can still be used generically in the post-GV era - it is not even difficult to do, but it DOES come with a small expense monthly.
Again - IMO, it is well worth the small expense to keep the good, old box useful.
Best Wishes.

I used this for my Obi110. It was easy and works great: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32078999-How-to-Install-naf-Asterisk-on-Ubuntu-for-Obi100-and-Google-Voice
If you want a PBX implementation that will run on 5 watts, quietly, with no fans or disks, take up practically no space, and support GV, take a look at this: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=26267 showing how to set things up on a Raspberry Pi 3.

I'm a big fan of RPis and have 2 of the original 2012 B models, a B+, a 2B, a 3B, a 3B+, 2 Zeros and 1 ZeroW.
However, when you add up the cost of one, plus an SD card, plus a PSU plus a case to protect it you are in the same ballpark as an OBi200. And getting a PBX up and running on it with GV is not as straightforward as with an OBi. Fine as a hobby but not recommended for a non-technical person who just wants a phone connected to GV.

Exactly what he said.
It's amusing how stubborn and emotional people can be over their ancient OBi 100/110 being no longer supported, to the extreme of spending money on other equipment, then spending countless hours reading forums and learning PBX-speak, rather than buy a new OBi.
