OBi110 doesn't receive incoming calls to Google Voice number
Detoxer:
I just tried to install the Obi110. It will call out with Google Voice. However, in GV under phones there is no option for "forward to google chat." I have looked on the internet and there are a number of people complaining about this.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

You have to make at least one outgoing call from your Gmail account for the Google Chat forwarding phone to be created in your Google Voice account.

I have the same problem. Not able to receive calls to obi connected phone. outgoing calls are okay. I have tried all the suggestions in this thread. and followed the instructions (http://obihai.com/tutorial1.html) couple of times, still no use. Any help? is it a defective item?

If outgoing calls using google voice from the Obi are successful then the problem is not likely the device. If you have an Obi110 with a land line connected, make sure the outgoing calls are indeed going out over google voice and not the land line.
1 - Did you make one successful call from within gmail using google chat.
2 - Did you check the box for "Google Talk" as a forwarding phone on your google voice page.
3 - Make sure you do not have your gmail account open in a browser window while trying to receive calls to the Obi.
4 - Make sure you do not have any conflicting apps running on a smart phone while trying to receive calls to the Obi (Groove IP, Talkatone etc.)
5 - Make sure the X_InboundCallRoute for the google voice SP includes "ph".

I missed the first one itself. I was able to setup the rest of the steps, so i thought it is fine. Once i make a call using gmail, it started working. Thanks for pointing out that.
