renamed Google Primary email - chat unavailable
jf_nyc:
gderf - excellent advice. I'll create a new blah777@gmail.com directly, then in that new account I'll activate google voice. Assuming I do then have access to Google chat, I'll be all set. I've done some searching, and it looks like it's straightforward to transfer a phone number from one google voice account to another google voice account.
I'll report back once I see how it goes.

I suggest you create a new from scratch Gmail account that you will use just for your OBi and nothing else. Then see if you can make a PC call from that account. If so, make that call. Then reconfigure your OBi and new GV account for the new ID.

gderf - your advice is spot on!
I created a brand new Google account, using a gmail address instead of a non-gmail address. I activated gmail and then google voice. I then transferred my phone # from my old google voice account to the new one. I then went into the (new) gmail, and my google chat worked!!! I placed a call from gmail. I then went back to my Obihai dashboard, and added this new "clean" google account. All is now working. I can both place and receive Google Voice accounts via my Obihai box.
Thank you for the advice.
