Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice

The biggest downside I can see to the GVmate product is that it must be connected to a working PC to use it. The Obi is a stand-alone solution. Bummer...

If you must have a PC running then use it to make click to call callbacks and continue on with your OBi and Google Voice for free.

Agreed. I actually run a server on my home network, so this is not an issue for me, but I would really prefer to continue to use my current setup. It is certainly not ideal, but for me the configuration is supportable.

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?
See page 45 of the Admin Guide (September 2013 edition):
"IMPORTANT Note: All passwords and PINs are excluded from the backup file. Hence they will not be available to restore. Call history is excluded from the backup , but can be saved as an XML formatted file separately from the Call History web page. "
More info on backup and restore on page 44.

I've given up on GV. I just got an account with Voipo. $185 for the first 2 years, unlimited calling in NAM and 1 hour / month calling to specific countries. Customer service is great! I just put in an app to transfer my Vonage home line to them as well.
I can also use my Obi100 with them as well if I want so it won't go to waste...
Even after the price goes up in 2 years to approx. $15/month it's still a great deal for everything I get. WAY more features than GV in my opinion.
