Using OBi and GV Outside the USA
4myphones:
i am a long time GV user (from the beginning of Grand Central before the Goggle buyout) Stanaphone and FWD before that
i live overseas and while i can use Google Voice to make calls
i cannot use GV in Gmail it is being blocked based on my IP@ i tried a Proxy and it works fine but i cannot run a Proxy all the time
So my question is will OBi110 replace my PAP2 and work based on my foreign IP@
BTW all has been good with GV-Gizmo-PAP2 (or any other Voip but Gizmo is great) but now Gizmo is shutting down
is there a list of good Voip alternatives that is also free
thank you
UPDATE
been away awhile and want to let everyone know that from day one more then 1 year ago my Obi110 worked perfectly i even have my Obi110 working off a 3G router
i know its not relevant now as Google opened GV and calling in Gmail (i think everywhere)
jimates:
The use of the Obi will not change the restrictions of the SIP providers (or of Google) that are configured on it. You can place the Obi in the states and then call through it using the Obion app or another Obi.

thanks you for the reply
i am hoping not to need 2 OBi110 ATA
right now i use my PAP2 and it works fine with GV to Gizmo or any other Voip BUT
the OBi110 lets you bypass the need to use GV to make calls something a PAP2 can't do
my question since OBi110 connects to my Google account will is work overseas
right now my Google Voice account is fully usable overseas and that is how i make all my calls BUT
i do not have the ability to you use Gmail to make calls that feature is not available to me unless i run a Proxy and when i do i can make calls from Gmail
So can anyone tell me what part of my Google account does the OBi110 connect to my GV or my Gmail account for me one works and one does not

4myphones,
Unrelated to your question, but it occurred to me that in your situation you might be better served if you setup the Obi unit in the USA and used the ObiApp to make your calls using the Obi unit as the gateway. This might be a different approach to get what you want. Of course this depends if you have someone in the USA who can maintain the Obi unit and you don't mind making calls from your computer.

before obi110, i used the following sip providers (which i think had better audio than gizmo5):
sipgate
localphone using ipkall
ideasip using ipkall
iptel using ipkall
the last 3 doesn't have DID but i used ipkall to associate an actual US phone number with the SIP address. all 4 have FREE incoming calls. outgoing calls are possible for the 1st 3 but are not free. (the last 3 are practically the same as gizmo5 functionality -- in that they have no actual US phone number associated with them and that they have free incoming calls). the 1st one is better since there's a US phone number linked with it.
