Husband deployed to Turkey - Please help with Obion app/Droid 3 Disconnecting
ckGA:
Thanks for the response:
You can use google talk in Turkey if you have an activated, registered cell phone there; they have a law about that. Otherwise, it blocks any kind of calls - including google voice, if it's not registered (since they actually ring your phone). The obi slides under it using only data and Turkey does not pick it up as a call --so it will ring and work over wi-fi- via the obion app... where the google voice does not.
The google voice worked - rang, called, etc., until his phone was locked up by Turkey for not registering it and buying a plan with them...the plans are pointless for international calling. Skype charges a fee and the call quality really sucked over skype for us.
Honestly, the obi calls are far superior --- they just cut off after 9 mins. :-/
Thanks so much.
I am confident that the tech staff at obihai will help me resolve this as I have submitted a request for assistance. Any other ideas are appreciated and thanks again.

You should give Talkatone and/or GrooVeIP a shot. It's really pretty simple. Start by setting up a new Gmail account and a new Google Voice account linked to the Gmail account. Make a test call from Gmail on your computer. Then, install the Talkatone app on your Droid and tell it to use the new account. Make a call to a local friend and confirm that quality is good and the call does not drop after 9 minutes.
If you get this far, set up a third GV account for your husband, have him get the app, and you should be good to go.
