Google Voice Question
rodan:
I understand Google Voice is no longer supported with my Obi100 device after May 15th.
My question: will Google Voice still be around for the other features? What I mean is, say I chose to
switch my voip from GV to PhonePower.
Ok, I have the option of porting my GV phone number to PhonePower, or, leaving it alone, and, when PhonePower service starts, with the phone number they assign me,...whenever someone dials my GV number, it will be forwarded to Phonepower? And the phone connected to my Obi100 would ring ? Would this be correct?
And, when I dial out, the phone I'm dialing, would see my old GV phone number on their caller ID?
This would be how I would like it.
I'm a bit confused as to whether GV will still be around, for this and other features.
My main concern, is , I do not want to lose my Google Voice phone number. I want it to stay active.
If Google Voice is to be no more, will I lose my GV phone number, if I do not port it to Phonepower, after May 15th?
rodan:
As of now, I understand what is to occur, May 15th, with Google Voice & Obi:
If I want to keep my present Google Voice phone number ( which was formerly my landline telephone number with AT& T ), I do have to port it, somewhere.
If I do not, after May 15th ( actually, earlier, as some companies need anywhere from 3 - 10 days to port ) port this number, I lose it, forever.
This is how I understand what will happen, May 15th, on this subject of porting.
Am I correct?

You do NOT have to port your GV number. I did however but that was my choice. You can set up your GV number to forward calls to others such as Circlenet, Future 9, Vestalink, etc.. or to one of the Obi partners. If you want to port anyway, I'd do so now before 15th. If not, sit tight and study your options.

If Google Voice is no longer, after May 15th, I don't understand how a call can be forwarded from the GV phone number to other voip.

Google Voice is NOT going away, just the ability to use XMPP which the OBi devices use to establish 2-way calls via Google Chat. You will still have the ability to forward your GV number to another number.
