If I make a call, i.e. within 14 miles of home, I get charged via Verizon zone 3
Stewart:
After setting everything up, you can check the OBi Call History to confirm that your calls are going out on Google Voice. Or, call your cell phone and check that it shows your GV number and not your Verizon number. Or, dial 1-800-437-7950 and confirm that "calling ANI" is your GV number.

You can just as easily configure your OBi manually (all other settings at Default):
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
mike_forum, I strongly advise you NOT to do this until you understand what you are giving up by doing this. Unfortunately, the guy who's "helping" you is biased against the use of the OBiTALK portal, but he never explains to new users the pros and cons of using the portal. At a minimum, I suggest you read this thread:
Pros and Cons of using OBiTALK Provisioning and OBiTALK portal for configuration
Note that you can accomplish everything you need to do from the OBi Expert Configuration mode of the OBiTALK portal. Note also that the person who is "helping" you has so far declined to post any coherent explanation of why he so dislikes the OBiTALK portal, nor why he steers new users away from it without explanation.

I want to say Thanks to everyone for all their time and assistance.
The obi settings that were provided made the calls work perfectly.

Thank you !!

If you now go to:
System Management -> Device Update -> Backup Configuration (check : Use OBi Version)
and save your configuration to a file, you'll be able to restore it by simply using:
System Management -> Device Update -> Restore Configuration
should you ever need to. You will have to manually re-enter passwords, as they're not saved in the backup file.

RonR,
Why don't you furnish some common configurations and variations with backup files so they can just configure the device by installing the file.
There is endless possibilities but there are also some really common configurations. Or at least there are some configurations that could be used as basic starters, and then customized by the user under direction from the forum.
