Voice mail indicator & stutter dial tone no longer work on Obi202 unit using GV
DrJay:
I've been using Google's two-step verification since they first introduced it so I never expected to get stutters/flashing LEDs on my home land line via my OBi202. I've lived with it. All of my GV voicemails get delivered to my Gmail inbox and I also get notifications on my mobile phone via the Hangouts app.
I value the extra security of two-factor authentication over the voicemail alert on my OBiHAI extensions so it was never a big deal. But if I could have both, that would be a bonus.
Now that Google and OBiHAI are playing nice, and since it sounds like subsequent OBiHAI firmware upgrades have been chipping away at solving some GV/voicemail alert issues, here's my question:
Is it now possible for a 2-step verification using, OBi202-owning user like me to have both 2-step AND voicemail alerts?
I noticed that the current GV setup wizard presents no voicemail notification checkbox, but the wizard for Callcentric setup does. That leads me to believe that I can't have voicemail alerts on the GV SP slot. But of course I could play around with settings through Expert Config and change the VMI stuff if that actually mattered.
Has anyone else with a similar setup (esp. 2-step verification) gotten this to work LATELY, with all of the new GV/OBi love?

Hi Jay!
The new OBi support for Google Voice no longer supports the message-waiting stutter tone or the visual message waiting indicator (MWI or VMWI). This is unrelated to 2SV; it doesn't work at all any more. The MWI/VMWI function for SIP carriers like Callcentric still works as always, but it won't help you with GV voicemail, since it would only apply to voicemail messages left on Callcentric's own VM system.

Is this something that will be added in the future? We miss not having that feature.

I have no idea. Obihai may or may not disclose what they are working on, but this feature never worked consistently for more than a few months, before it broke again. My hunch is that it was a hack that they've decided to abandon.
DrJay:
As I suspected. Thanks, Steve!
