How To: Use Google Voice and OBi
Miichael:
Can someone please HELP me figure out how to even get my Google Voice Telephone Number to start with...........in the Setup, when I get to "CHOOSE A NUMBER" I type in in the first box my Area Code, then in the second box I have tried both, "IAM MIKE" and the Numbers corresponding to that....everytime it says something like it can't find that number...I am not trying to find it I am trying to establish/request it???? Then it also cam back andd asked me to type in my Area Code or city in the prefix box????
I am 73 years old and am trying to save 30-40 dollars a month by purchasing one of these.....but have been told, rightly so, I hate to admit, on this Help FOrum this is about OBI and not Google and also you are probably best sending back your OBI 100 because apparently much to difficult technically for you.
Can someone here PLEASE muster up some CHRISTmas Spirit and possibly walk me thru this process after I get my Obi100 - it is supposed to arrive here tomorrow - I'd sure more than appreciate it!!!
Thanks, michael
Possibly a pm and I could phone some Good Samaritan Techophile after I get the Money Saver delivered here in Beavertoin, Oregon.

Miichael,
If you submit a proof of age, you will qualify for the good Samaritan Christmas special. When you are ready let us know.

The number you asked for is taken. Just take a number off their list.
I strongly recommend you return the OBi. It is going to be beyond your ability to manage. I would not have my 75 year old mother get an OBi, as the setup is beyond her, as is the need to reboot every so often.

I wouldn't worry overly about it. Usually once you set it up, you don't have to mess with it, much.
In fact I think Obihai had people like you in mind when they conceived of selling their devices to third-part providers who then remotely deal with all the niggling details usually involved with telephony.

I agree. Without that third party support, it isn't the right solution for some. My mother calls weekly - PC needs to be rebooted and she forgot how, when she logs into Comcast for her email they moved things, ...
