Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice
mo832:
I have not tried any of this yet. I'm still trying to get details as to how it would work since I really hate signing up for lots of trial registrations for things that I don't intend to actually use. Also, I don't want to go thru all the settings if it gets me nowhere and I have to change everything back that is now working.
But on CC, the CNAM tab says what you saw on yours. However the General tab has a field saying "Caller ID with name (Inbound calls):", which I was able to change to "enable".
I don't know if this actually does anything, but it is set up that way.
It seems like it should work with *any* DID number, since I can't imagine everybody would want a NY DID number. But that is just a guess. Perhaps CC enhances those numbers are registered with their own company?

Download your OBi configuration to a file before making changes. You can restore it to that state rather than editing it back to the way it was.

I didn't know you could do that. How do you download and how do you restore? If you do it this way, does it also save your password that has been hidden?

On my OBi200 I put its IP address in my web browser and log in. Then I go to the System Management | Device Update page. From there you can download and upload the configuration file. It comes down in xml format.
I don't know whether the login information is there or not.

apparently obihai has no plans to adapt the device even though their competitors have already announced they have versions that will work using google hangouts.
Since the original poster never answered, here is an example: http://www.gvmate.com/gvmate-phone-adapter-unaffected-by-xmpp-retirement-May-2014.html
I am going to hold off making any changes for a few months. Like others, I am hoping that some attractive options come to light before May. I really have no idea what is in store for Google Voice, but I want to learn more before I make changes. Google Voice and Android phones are my biggest anchors to Google. If they cut off the former, my attachment to the latter will be greatly reduced. Gmail is not that unique anymore. Going "Google free" may be easier than it has been in years, however, they may just provide a better tool that we like even better. I am not holding my breath...
