I used the links posted on this forum to setup and configure my OBi with my GoogleVoice account and all went fairly well. The phone worked for a night.
The next day my husband went to plug in the bluray player to allow it to update. He says nothing happened to the OBi or near it, but my guess is that he either moved the ethernet or bumped the connection to the OBi and (or this spontaneously happened, regardless...) now the connection no longer works. I've tried reconfiguring, I've unplugged and left it for 5 minutes to sit, then replugged and reconfigured. This temporarily worked but it was always back to the same behavior.
If I pick up the handset, I get a dial tone for 1-3 seconds, it varies. Then the phone goes to a very LOUD static. Can't dial or do anything during that or to get rid of it. After I tried unplugging the OBi for 5 minutes and replugging and reconfiguring it worked for a couple of minutes but went back to the static. I called my cell from the set up phone, it rang twice on my cell phone and then DURING the call (I hadn't picked up the cell yet) it went to static. I tried calling from my cell phone to the set up phone, stated my name to the GoogleVoice, it rang through to the set up phone immediately. But, when I picked up the handset to answer it was immediate static! Once my cell connected, I could hear the static on that end as well. Call was connected but obviously useless.
Help! Any ideas? Thanks!
