Google Voice voicemail check interval and connection issues
Ziflin:
Thanks for verifying that :P. I can't get it working again for some reason, even with the hour+ delay. So maybe they will come out with a fix soon as it is quite handy.

Ziflin,
I haven't checked the operation of Google Voice voicemail with the OBi in quite a while as I use a local answering machine which picks up just before Google Voice voicemail does. The last time I checked, it all worked pretty smoothly with little delay. In checking at the moment, it appears the OBi and Google Voice voicemail aren't getting along.
Something is broken between Google Voice voicemail and the OBi.
Glad I found this. Now, with my landline ported to Google Voice (via T-Mobile interim stop), I can't get the voicemail indicator working properly.
If I check "Message Waiting", the indicator is on all the time. If I clear it on the phone, it comes back. If I uncheck it, I get no indicator or stutter tone.
Here are my settings:
Voice Services -> SP1 service -> MWIEnable : (checked)
Voice Services -> SP1 service -> X_VMWIEnable : (checked)
Voice Services -> SP1 service -> MessageWaiting : (unchecked) (Default unchecked)
I made sure there were no unread messages in the Trash before I tried to diagnose it.
RonR:
All voicemail checking between Google Voice and OBi devices has been failing 100% of the time for many days now.
I suspect this will continue to be the case until there is a firmware update for the OBi.
Paulo:
Does anyone here know a viable alternative to the google voicemail in this case?

The ONLY issue here is that GV is not triggering the Voicemail indicator on the OBi, and hence your telephones. If you do indeed get a voicemail message, GV still would notify you via email and/or text message if you have selected those options in GV. I get both, usually within a minute or so, including GV's attempt at transcribing the message.
