I noticed I had VM but it wasn't giving me the stutter tone so I missed some messages. I see there was a firmware update and did the ***6 and it updated the phone. It sees now when I call my own number it asks for my pin. It didn't do that before and I made no changes on the GV panel. Anyone else experiencing this? Did Google change something?
Thanks
Mike

That is a setting under Google Voice ....
Go to GV web page, click on "Your Number" then under your Forwarded Number click on "Edit" then Show advanced settings.

Why don't you set your GV account to email you the voicemails? That way you won't miss them even if not at home.

I talked to OBIHAI tech support and they said Google Changed Something and I have to use the Pin for now until they can get it fixed. They also upgraded my OBI to get the stutter tone back.

Which reinforces the point that I and others have made in the past - Google and OBi aren't in communication. The OBi works with GV because the OBi engineers figured out how to make it work. Google can, and will, change GV as they sit fit without notifying OBi at all, and OBi has to then scurry and figure out a fix.
From my perspective, that means that an OBi is not the correct solution for people that rely on their phones and have no backup, or have no ability to understand how to change some of the settings when needed. It's a solution for those with some technical savvy, those of us that accept that occasional reboots and tweaks are required. I would never put one in my mother's house for example.
