Busy signal when dialing Google Voice number over OBi
wolfv:
I set my OBi100 to use Google Voice as described in http://www.obihai.com/GoogleVoiceUG.htm I am able to make and receive calls over OBi nicely. But after dialing my gvoice number over OBi I get a busy signal. Is that busy signal normal?
I want to check my Google Voice messages over OBi. This google voicemail page describes how to check your Google Voice messages:
Call your Google access number from your phone, you'll be connected directly to your Google voicemail where you may need to enter your PIN

This post defines "access number":
use Google Voice number to retrieve you messages

This post describes a similar problem but no solution:

Is there another way to check Google voicemail over OBi?
Thank you.

In the GV Gear setting you might need to do the following:

Activate Google voicemail on this phone
wolfv:
Thanks QBZappy. That fixed it.
Google Voice > Settings > Phones > Google chat, Edit> Voicemail Access: yes

I am having this same problem... I recently installed an OBi202 and ported a Tracfone number to a newly-created Google Mail/Voice account. I also have the account forwarding to a Sprint cell phone number. I have tried every combination of turning the voicemail and phones on/off that I can come up with, and I still get one quick ring followed by a rapid busy tone when calling my GV number from the phone connected to the OBi (even if I turn voicemal access OFF in Google Chat, I still get the busy signal). So, cannot access the voicemail. Can anyone suggest something else I could try? Thanks!

I'm having the same issue.
If I dial my google voice number from Obi202, I get a busy signal.
The port from landline to tmo to gvoice happened this week, though, so I'm not sure if it is just a porting delay or not.
