Google Chat not showing up
gderf:
Yer welcome. But did it work?
Yarrow:
No; It routed the call through the cell phone that I have listed, which it won't yet let me delete, and Google Chat still didn't show up.
gderf:
I don't think you understand what it is you have to do to get this to work. Or you aren't clearly saying you have tried what I suggested.
You have to log in to Gmail, https://mail.google.com (not Google Voice) with your Gmail username and password.
Once logged into Gmail from a machine that has speakers & microphone (or headset) you have to place a phone call to someone from within Gmail. It doesn't matter who you call. There is no call forwarding or routing involved with this. When you click on handset icon in the lower left part of the screen, a dial pad will appear.
Have you done exactly this yet?
sdb-:
To add one item to gderf's excellent instruction, from gmail chat you do not call your gvoice number.
From gmail you must call some other number (like your cell phone, a friend, a time of day or weather forecast number, etc.).
Yarrow:
Previously, I did this from Google Voice, but now I have done it from Gmail with much the same result. There was no handset, but a space into which to type the number. I entered my cell number and called. It was direct, as you described, but GoogleChat did not appear afterwards as a forwarding option. I made a second call from Gmail, and GoogleChat still did not appear as a forwarding option. When I then tried to call my GV number from my cell, it rang on the computer, but not on the phone connected to obihai.
