Google Chat check box does not appear

@jimates,

Would you please explain that?  I never went to look at the gmail until after I had set up the two GV accounts.  I did use the CALL feature on Google for both accounts.  My impression is that the Chat box appeared only after I looked at gmail and then went to Voice, on both GV accounts.  But, when you're operating in the dark, impressions can be wrong.

jimates:
In order to use chat in gmail you have to download the plugin and enable calling in the settings.

2 things have to happen to see the "google talk" in your google voice page.

1 - You must have your google voice account associated with a gmail account (and have calling from chat enabled). If you use a gmail address to log into your google voice then the association is already made.

2 - You must make at least one successful call from within gmail.

After that the "google talk" phone will appear in your google voice page. You still have to select it as a forwarding phone in order to receive calls to the Obi, aka google chat.
