Will GoogleVoice stop working on all deployed OBi devices after May 15?
N7AS:
Yes, that is correct. Inbound calls via GoogleVoice is not the problem. It's outbound when they stop suportimg XMPP. Outbound calls can be routed through another provider such as Localphone, Callcentric, VOIP.ms or others.

Sorry, just a little confused on what you said. the gv number that goes to my cellphone, that one will be alright, correct?
Now, the one that goes to obihai, are you saying that I will be able to get inbound calls still?
N7AS:
The GV number going direct to you OBi device will no longer work using XMPP. Your best bet would be with Localphone. A DID (phone number) is $0.99 per month. Inbound calls is free as well as outbound calls to toll free numbers. Outbound is $0.005 (1/2 cent) per min. They have subscriptions available.
For calls to US numbers.
250 min for $0.75 - $0.003 per min
800 min for $1.60 - $0.002 per min
5000 min for $5.00 - $0.001 per min

Everyone's needs are different.
My home setup includes an Ooma for the house phone. I set up a Google Voice number for this line that rings the home number and my wife's cell phone at the same time.
Then I have an Obi110 for my home office as a second line through Google Voice. Generally, when I am working from home, most of my time is spent on calls to an 877 number for work conferencing. I seldom receive an inbound call on my Obi.
I first I tried Callcentric's free plan thinking that the 877 number might have a VOIP SIP interface. Callcentric's online Obi110 instructions were not complete – I could not get my Obi device to register with them. However, this forum suggested some SIP changes and then it worked :-) Upon testing I found that I could call my VOIP at work office phone but not a 877 number. So, I cancelled the service.
I then tried Localphone, again picking their free option. Setup worked correctly and I can call my 877 number. When May rolls around I will forward my home office Google Voice number to the home phone number.

If you need to call 877 numbers, CallWithUs will terminate them for free. You don't even need an account with them to do this. There my be other providers who do this also.
