How To: Use Google Voice and OBi
jmsnyc:
I know that Google Chat has to be enabled in Google Voice for incoming calls to work with the Obi but does it need to be enabled for outgoing calls to work?
In other words, people who were using the sipsorcery/gizmo method would hear consistent ringing from the time the call was placed til the time the call was connected - the ringing was really two parts because a call back via the web interface was being triggered by sipsorcery.
So if that is what the Obi is doing then Google Chat would have to be enabled.
However what I would like is for incoming gv calls (since free) to ring on my sp2 (sipgate) but I am thinking that would screw up my outgoing.
RonR:
It's easy enough to try these things and know exactly how they work.
With Google Chat disabled (unchecked) in Google Voice, incoming calls go straight to voicemail (assuming you have no other forwarding phones enabled).
With Google Chat disabled (unchecked) in Google Voice, outgoing calls still function normally.
jmsnyc:
Thanks Ron.
I realize I am all over the place in these threads. Trying to post in the right spot.
So do you see anything wrong with this setup?
SP1: Google Voice (Primary)
SP2: Sipgate
All outgoing calls go through GV, incoming calls will forward to sipgate and still ring the same physical phone and google chat will still be able to stay logged in in gmail?
RonR:
I don't do Google Chat and never log into Gmail (I use POP with Gmail), so I can't comment on that aspect.
If it does what you want, then I'd say go with it unless you run into a snag. :)

I just ported my landline to GV and it's now connected to OBi. The only thing is the GV account is linked to my cell (unchecked) and when I call my GV number (old landline) it goes on to ask for my pin and then to voicemail. I would like to delete my cell from the GV profile, but that will leave only Google chat in and not sure if that's allowed in GV? Anyone has experience in this setting or alternative way to set up in OBi to allow me to call the GV number from my cell?
Thanks!
