Thanks to
jamesh for the tip on the CC registration error on the Obi. When I looked at my CC Extensions config, it appeared that a SIP password was already populated (asterisks), so I didn't try to enter anything there, assuming it was using the CC account password. After I re-entered my CC web password here, then CC successfully registered on the Obi. So maybe they have a default password, like the SIP no. or something was just out of sync between the two. I found Jamesh's post to be better than the original on page 1 of this thread for the setup process, if you're using the simpler Obi Dashboard for setup.
Everything else worked mostly smoothly. I ported my Vonage no. to a Tmobile phone, then ported from Tmobile to Google Voice. The Vonage to TMobile took about 2 days, and the Tmobile to Google took about 24 hrs. I already had GV set up, so then it was just a matter of configuring it with CC, per instructions. I also paid the initial $3 using Paypal, then added another $20 to the CC account for future billing from Paypal, per others' suggestions. I then tried 933, that worked. I called my local non-emergency no. for the police dept., who told me to call 911 and tell them it was a non-emergency. The same guy answered who I'd just talked to, and confirmed the address.
Sweet!Just to let anyone new know that even though this thread is a few years old, it still works as directed. Just read through the entire thread for some gotcha's and good suggestions! This thread should probably be a sticky, based on the number of reads.
Thanks,
Terry
