Using OBi and GV Outside the USA
jimates:
Because of the limitations of google voice working with ip addresses outside the US we can't say for sure. The best and proven setup is to have 2 units, one in the US and one with you.
You set up your GV number on the US unit and have it forward all calls to the unit overseas. You just answer the phone there for each call coming in on your GV number.
You can also place calls from overseas by calling your Obi in the US and placing outgoing calls over your GV number.
The new Obi110 is much smaller for travel purposes, or you could just use the Obitalk app for PC or the Obion app for smatphone instead of a 2nd unit.
The newest beta firmware includes direct dialing through endpoints. That means you could just pick up the phone on the overseas unit, dial a number, and it is delivered through your google voice number in the US. The new beta firmware just came out so no date for normal release.

And how is this done? How is the state side GV number forwarded to an Obi unit?
