Google Voice - non gmail.com domain
davestein:
As I got to the end of this thread, I thought there was a promise of an answer, but the documents referred to tell me that as a former Grand Central customer without a gmail account attached to my Google Voice account that I am unable to use the OBi service to use my Google Voice number on this account.
Is there a workaround in progress? Is there anything I can do on the Google account end to get this working? I'm not ready to give up this google voice number nor move it to a Gmail account for this number.
Thanks in advance for any help.
OBi-Guru:
@davestein: you don't need to give up your GV number from the original GrandCentral. You do need to create a gmail account that would link up to your original non-gmail GV account.

Google has modified the apps account to consolidate - mine @domain account seems to work out of the box with my obi100 now.

Same here, I tried my OBi100 with my Google Apps account and it worked just fine. Though we still did register a new Google Voice account and number for use with the OBi. My thought there is that a dedicated Gmail account is less likely to have any sort of status conflict since multiple users won't be logged into the Gmail account at the same time. I read some people saying that the OBi didn't always ring and I theorized that perhaps Gmail was confused as to which logged in user to present the call to, if you're in a Gmail account at the same time the OBi device is.
