Switched from GV to PhonePower - intermittent "not configured"
adutchman:
This morning I tried to call me house but it went straight to voicemail and it was really important that I get through because nobody in the house was answering their cell phones.
Then just now, without changing anything, I tried calling the house number from my cell and the call when through. I also have a dial tone to make outgoing calls.
Perhaps things are working okay now, but I have my doubts.

FWIW, I've been experiencing the same thing with my phonepower account - once a week or so, it will simply stop working. My OBi is connected directly to the cable modem (no firewall or router), so the SIP-ALG settings do not apply. Also, (while trying to figure out what to do with the OBi in the post-GV world), I have three SIP accounts on my OBi 202 - I have never seen this type of random failure with the Anveo or Vestalink accounts.

Update:
Steps taken last night (4/25/2014)...
1) Rebooted router to make sure SIP ALG setting change took effect.
2) Completely reset OBi100 device by following instructions provided by PhonePower beginning with step # 2 - ReSetting your Obihai. Here is the link they provided http://www.phonepower.com/wiki/Obihai_Lite
Note that I did not press the reset button located on your Obihai phone adapter
3) Restarted OBi100 device.
As of 3:00 pm today (4/26/2014) everything is still working as it should be.

I, too, had these same problems. First off, I chose Phonepower voip. I was knocked off of the system twice. In both cases I had noticed that my config info was missing. The 1st time i manually replaced the info and went to the phone power site to sync the devices. The next morning no service. The second time I configured through Obitalk approved service providers section. I tabbed on the phone power followed the promps and placed phonepower in the sp1 and left googlevoice in the sp2 section. After the configs were done, I returned to the phonepower site to sync the devices. Earlier I had tried to remove GV to replace with CircleNet voip in sp2. It messed up everything so I reconfig to GV. Now, I have been on for 2 days with no probs.
I hope that this advice works for you as well it has for me.
Good Luck!!

I'm glad to have checked this forum on this matter, as I was attempting to do the setup of Phone Power (using an OBi 100 currently on GV, from the "Approved Providers" page). My problem is that the page will not let me select either the OBi device or the SP slot (from the pulldowns). No info is in the pulldown. And when I try and click the "Signup at PhonePower" button, it turns those previous fields red and says I haven't chosen anything. This isn't looking good, OBi! I really wanted to choose the OBi Lite offering from PhonePower.
Update 5/3/14: Turns out in order for my OBi device and all to display I had to be logged into OBi using my Google account, and not just my Yahoo mail account. After this things showed up correctly and I was able to sign up for the PhonePower deal. However, even though I'm keeping GV on SP1 until May 15, on SP 2 I can't get better than a "Registered" in the Dashboard for PhonePower. The Dashboard won't accept my PhonePower VoIP number with a "1" for country code. Says I have to limit it to 11 characters (which this is), but the Dashboard is appending the sip.phonepower.com into that field. Don't know what's up with this.
