Google Chat not showing up
gderf:
Get a voice number means there is no number linked to that account. How many numbers and how many accounts do you have?
Yarrow:
I have 5 google accounts, one of which I have allowed my daughter to commandeer and which has no number. The other four have numbers, and I have described the status of each to you. The currently misbehaving one shows up in the obi dashboard as connected through google, and when I call it from a cell, the obi phone rings. If I don't pick up, I get the message that I recorded on GV. The email with the voicemail comes to the recovery email account rather than the regular email account associated with that number. So if this number has come unlinked, how is it that obihai hooked it up to the phone, such that it rings? Or is that just because it's forwarding there? But if the latter, then why does it appear as connected on the obi dashboard? And what can I do about it?
gderf:
I have no other ideas as to why you are seeing what you are seeing or how to solve it.
sdb-:
The account with no google voice number and the "Get a Voice number" means you lost that number. To verify, try to call that number from your cell or other independent line.
Calls can go out via chat without a GV number. (To the recipient they show up as some generic CID.)
I've heard of this happening. I don't recall any authoritative reason for why a number might be lost.
Perhaps if it did not have a regular phone number associated with the account?
Maybe no recent incoming calls?
If it has not been reassigned, perhaps "Get a Voice number" will allow you to select it again.

Actually, I goofed; it turns out that this was on a different Google account than the one I thought, so I had to transfer it to the one where it should have been (basically, I apparently got the number before the email, not vice versa, as I had supposed). Now it's working, and I'm on to the next problem, which is getting 911 service, obviously not from Google. Work in progress...
