Is it true I can register one of the PBX sites on my OBI, and it will somehow initiate outgoing calls via GV and not use XMPP protocol?
It seems as though they use the same method as Obi currently but I won't swear that is the case. The price they charge does not make them a likely candidate anyway. I currently believe the best cheapest solution will be an open source PBX like the one they run on Raspberry PI. I don't think Obi will upgrade to a new solution. I would keep an eye on Simonics solution to see if he changes his method but that appears
unlikely as well.
I continue to investigate what is possible and I'll post my "Best" solution when the date comes closer.
