Workaround for voicemail indicator on GV w/two-step authentication?
sofakng:
I'm just thinking out loud, but would it be possible to get an incoming DID (I've seen them for as low as $2.99/month for unlimited incoming), and then use Google Voice for unlimited/free outgoing?
The only problem I can think of is that the outgoing caller ID won't match the incoming DID...
Lavarock7:
With some VOIP services you can spoof/fake the outbound Caller ID.
psuPete:
Both Callcentric and Skype provide for user-configured (a process) to specify legitimate outbound CLIDs. I am doing so with both so that my GV # appears.
Callcentric setup involves some sort of customer rep. support, but it is doable.

You still run your DID through google voice for incoming. Set it up as one of the numbers that GV will forward to. Then people still just call your GV number. Then you setup that DID in our OBI so that incoming calls on that DID ring in. But you keep the Obi setup so that outgoing calls go through the GV number.

Hmmm, I think I understand what you're saying, but even if Google Voice forwards to my other DID, and it rings my OBI device, won't GV still automatically transfer to voicemail after a certain number of rings?
The problem is that I don't want Google Voice voicemail because the OBI doesn't work with my Google two-step authentication... (which is the entire problem; the voicemail indicator doesn't work, etc)
