Are calls possible while mobile?

ddalley:
If I have a Wi-Fi connection while away from my Obi, is it possible to still make/receive calls through my device?

I have looked for relevant instructions, but only see it mentioned with the old, outdated app.

azrobert:
If you are using GoogleVoice, you can use the Hangouts app. If you're not using GV or you want to connect to your OBi, there are a few methods you can use. What model OBi and mobile device (Android or iPhone) are you using?

ddalley:
I have the 202 and use various Android devices.

I have two GV accounts, one based in the US and one based in the 202 which is outgoing only. I also have a DID account.

I have looked for instructions for using Hangouts, but have found nothing beyond generalities.

azrobert:
Android needs to have Hangouts and the Hangouts Dialer installed. Start the Dialer. It's been a long time since I installed Hangouts. I think it will ask you to enter your GV ID and password. Tap on the keypad ICON and you're set to go.

ddalley:
Hangouts/GV works fine.

I was wondering if I could dial or receive through my OBi while mobile the way the old app used to allow, so that we use my local number. My Google Voice number is not local to my home area, so callers would be forced to make a long distance call.

It seems like you are suggesting that Hangouts is now being used as a replacement for that functionality.
