Even though all settings are the same you won't give detailed help to someone just because they choose to use the portal, which you don't like.
The only reason I dislike the OBiTALK Web Portal is that it's the harder way to accomplish most tasks.
If all you want to do is get an OBi working as fast as possible with a Google Voice account and you don't care about anything else, then the OBiTALK Web Portal is useful. But once you've decided to venture out even slightly and changes are necessary that require the OBi Expert Configuration, configuring the OBi directly is much quicker and far simpler. Why would I want to devote time to giving detailed instructions on how to do something the harder way?

You just point them to a post, which (for newbies) is more intimidating than helpful, because it was posted by Obiahi and not one of us.
I rest my case.
If the OBiTALK Web Portal's OBi Expert Configuration is the simpler and faster approach, why do so many people struggle trying to understand it and end up with a botched configuration? Why wasn't Obihai able to explain it in a fashion that most users could figure out? Why are these same users able to successfully accomplish the task almost immediately when they abandon the OBiTALK Web Portal and configure the OBi directly?
I don't understand the passion to do something the harder way. I really don't care which method people use. I simply post the configuration values that need to go into the OBi. Whether you place them there directly, or indirectly through the OBiTALK Web Portal, is of no concern to me. I simply don't intend to give instruction on how to do it the harder way.
Ohh I did not know that I could configure it directly I was using the expermode. Obviously now I prefer your way since it is in the network and much faster It looks like at some point it was able to sync with the web interface since I see the same settings on here.
I am not sure why jmates is so upset. I don't care one way or another on how to cofigure as long as I get help. All your instructions were very clear, your responses were fast and thoughtful. So once again thanks for the help.
