Google Voice - non gmail.com domain

The article should state that the Obi110 currently only supports @gmail.com domains.
I think the request to add Google apps domains support has been made. I'm not sure any additional discussion on the topic is needed.
They want what they want, even though I have done all I can to show them that it is not an Obihai fix.
Once signed in to your google account, using whatever domain you choose, you can then access all your google items; including gmail chat. The Obi does not sign into your google account, it only signs into your gmail.

I, too, was disappointed to learn that my OBI110 can only use a @gmail.com account for GV and not a Google Apps account for GV.
I have had my GV / GrandCentral number for years and it is now part of my Google Apps domain. It is the only number most people have for me. I'm not about to get yet another GV / @gmail.com number to give out to people, nor do I want to move my GV number back out of my Google Apps domain after having just moved it into that domain (for unified contacts).
I was curious about what @jimates has been saying, so I did some testing.
First, I do *not* have a @gmail.com account. Before the recent move of my GV number into my Google Apps domain, I had a NON @gmail.com Google Account for GV.
Second, I signed into my Google Apps domain and successfully placed a number of calls using my GV number over the Gmail web interface using my computer's speakers and microphone.
I then installed a fresh copy of PIAF / Incredible PBX with support for GV using (I believe) the same method as the the OBI110. I fed it my Google Apps domain credentials and was soon making and receiving calls with my GV number with no issues using a PAP2T an an analog phone.
I found it interesting that PIAF / Incredible warns to only use a @gmail.com account. I didn't expect my Google Apps domain account to work, but was pleased that it did.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but all of this indicates to me that the OBI110 firmware is hard coded to use only a @gmail.com accounts.
I hope a future firmware upgrade will allow me to use my GV / Google Apps account as it would make this great device even better.

Thank you for the additional testing, and I wish I had the extra hardware to use your solution, but I wish harder that I could use the Obi100 that I bought to do the same. I'm hoping somebody's reading this to put a fix in the works.
OBi-Guru:
Obihai listens to you, and would like to invite users wishing to use a non-gmail account with GV to test out a beta firmware.
Please send email to support@obihai.com with your OBi number (200 xxx xxx), and you'd need to add your device on OBiTALK portal.

Obihai you are awesome. Emailed my info and hope to get in on this beta and to provide my feedback. Thanks!
