Using Google Voice voicemail with VoIP providers

<< < (4/4)

Ah.  I've already abandoned direct OBi connection to Chat, so I forgot about that.  It's a special case:  when calling from Chat, it thinks you're calling from a genuine Chat session (not an OBi), so it assumes you are logged in via your Google credentials, and you want to hear your VM immediately.  The website configuration setting to change this is invalid, since OBi use was never anticipated nor authorized.  The same goes for a spoofed caller ID -- you're fooling GV into an unsupported scenario.  Just be glad it goes to VM; otherwise, it would get a busy signal, since it would appear as a loop (a phone number calling itself).

BTW, I tried to get Google to change this some time ago, but they decided that they weren't going to fix something that wasn't broken from their standpoint.

I'm confident that correctly-implemented spoofing works correctly with Google Voice. 


Just set up a new CallWithUs VoIP account and spoofed my outgoing with my GV number. Same thing happened. When spoofing with my GV number Google Voice absolutely will not pick up. I tried this with a basic softphone (MicroSip) and also on my Obi 110 with the same results.

I then spoofed a different number (can't believe CWU let's you get away with that. Reminds me of SipGate days) and Google Voice answered and everything worked normally. I'm just sayin'.............
