want to use obi200 in jamaica with google voice to call the USA. can this work?

<< < (2/2)

damarc:
its on a typical home router. on an ISDN connection 20mbs down/2 mbs up.
I guess part of my question is, should this setup work as i'm thinking it should? outside the US and all?  thanks for your continued help.

I cannot confirm the specific case of Jamaica but there is nothing intrinsic about the OBi200 device or Google Voice which prevents an already configured device from working outside the US.  Several posters here including myself can attest to that from personal experience.  There are countries where the government or telcos deliberately block VoIP for political or business reasons but I would not expect Jamaica to be one of them.

The facts that the echo test works, the dashboard shows the OBi200 as online and GV as connected mean that basic network connectivity is OK.  You could try changing the OBi's DNS to eg 8.8.8.8.  And if the router has the option for it, tun of "SIP ALG".

That's why they pay you the big bucks.. that worked! well i'm not sure which one, but i did change the DNS to google's DNS's and i also disabled SIP ALG on the modem's firewall and like that we could get bi-directional calls working. Thanks a million.
