No incoming calls possible on GV

<< < (3/3)

Michael_Reeder:
Okay -- Trying uninstalling and reinstalling Google Talk.  No luck.

Then -- *IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES* -- created a brand new Google Voice account from scratch and configured it and my OBi100.  WORKS GREAT, PROBLEMS SOLVED.

My outbound calls now reflect my local Google Voice number as well instead of reading on caller ID as a California number of Google's.

Google will end up littered with hundreds or thousands of dormant accounts at this rate, but hey, seems to be what's required to get around this ridiculous problem that just cost us hours and hours of time.

Thanks all very much again for your generosity on this puzzler.

Something is not clear here (parts in red). If you had your own GV number account, why were your calls showing as G's calif number? That suspiciously sounds like a Gmail account with no GV number/GV account associated with it.

Michael_Reeder:
I just took another look through both the malfunctioning account and the new working account...  both accounts have gmail and GV associated with them.  Both list the gmail email address along with the associated Google Chat "phone" in the Settings area (the malfunctioning one minus the forwarding checkbox).

It does not make any sense.  That I agree on!

Go to Obi Talk where you first set up the system with GV and redo it. That may work. Wait the two minutes as instructed.
