There is no method to import contacts via BT. The only method is to a) use Google Contacts, and b) upload the contacts to the phone from the OBiTALK portal. Click on your 2162 to open its basic configuration page. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click the import button.
In order to initiate a call from the Google Voice website on your browser (https://voice.google.com/u/0/calls), first go to the settings page and toggle on (green), "Always use my phone to place calls". A pre-requisite to do this with an OBi-attached phone is to get an inbound VoIP phone number from, for example, Callcentric, provision it on a SPx on your OBiTALK device, and add it as a forwarding phone number for your Google Voice number.
Thanks! Imported Google contacts successfully, kind of lame that it doesn't support +1 prefix on numbers though.
As for the GVoice setting to always place outgoing calls on phone, I don't seem to have that feature visible https://i.imgur.com/958Xq4X.png
JK didn't see this part:

Is there a free alternative? Or is this basically call forwarding to my phone? In this case could I fwd it to one of two GVoice numbers instead of callcentric in a sense there'd be a dedicated number? JK they're both managed by Google :(
I'm not sure I can decipher your post, with the use of "JK", but I think you meant that you figured out why you didn't see the setting to always use a linked phone number to place calls -- you don't HAVE a linked phone number.
A Callcentric NY State phone number is only $1 per month for inbound calls, and their outbound rates are cheap.
No, you can't forward one Google Voice number to another one.
