NEWBIE - Did I xxxxx UP my Goggle Voice already?
Miichael:
Please advise: Today after reading excellent reviews about the OBI100 I ordered one and then following a poster's advice went to Goggle and found Google Voice and then may have foulled things up for when I actually get the phone. I actually clicked on the wrong choice and instead of getting Directions on how to get your G. Voice # - I got the little "window" to request a NEW Number - so I did.....so it ended up calling me at my home phone and I could not understand the recorded instructions and of course I had NO 3 Digit Code because I had not read the instructions......so I was sitting there like the DUMMY I am......until it asked me my name and I told it and it repeated it back with instructions on how or what to do - I did not understand any of it. I searched for quite awhile to find out IF it gave me a new telephone # or what and where and what to do next.
PLEASE = if possible tell me what to do to get on track and with the Program...................and
THANKS michael

This is already GREAT - looks like good support!
Am confused about maybe the 3rd "box" called "Choose Number" in the process there at G. Voice: 1st Box to fill in is sinple: Area Code but then an, and/or, and in next box what do they mean by fill in a Word, Phrase, or Number? I'm not going to tackle that one again until I hear from a more enlightened one.

All that option is doing is letting you try to find a number that matches a word or phrase, like 1-555-BUY-FORD or 1-555-EAT-PIES. You put in the phrase and it searches for a number that matches it so you can tell people, "Just call 1-555-EAT-PIES" (which is 1-555-328-7437) to reach me.
You can later port your landline to Google Voice and use that number (read about porting on the Google site). Google has a whole bunch of content on the features of GV and how to use them.
Using GV and the OBi will require you to read instructions - lots of them, so take your time and go slow.
Enjoy!

THANKS - do with I had know about that when I was there, left it blank.......
Today I received an EMail fm Google Acct.: " The recovery number for your Google Acct. has recently changed....if you made that change ignore this."
That has to relate to whatever I did when I was exploring to see what I would have to do when I got my OBI100.........now I am hoping/praying I can get someone to walk me thru the Setup when I get mine......Amazon says it will be here around the 26th.
PS: now that I know what I should have typed in to those slots....can I go back and do it right - or is it too late........it did have me tell it my name at the end.
