I'm ready now...my workaround for when GV & Obi get divorced.

Hi Odysseus-forum.
I am in a mad rush to get out the door here - and might be able to figure out some of those things once I've returned (tomorrow ??) - but then again maybe not (I'm just an old guy and not the brightest light on the porch !!).

Others on this forum are far more informed and even quite expert at this stuff; I am merely a user who likes to understand what he is using a little bit - whereas others here are really very amazing experts at different aspects of VOIP.

Just a small warning as I see you are just starting to post here...:
Some folks here are a bit snarky to 'mere users' - but then others (Gigcass comes to mind) are super helpful and really willing to 'tolerate' those who are MUCH lower on the food chain (such as myself).

Suggestion:
Post a new thread asking about softphone settings and also perhaps another thread specifically on getting your Obi box to connect with PBXes.org, because that is the ultimate point of what this info will lead to - that is, as long as it will work a'tall ?!?

Best Wishes !!!

Odysseus-forum:
Thank you very much. Will do.

If I might request, when your time permits, please do check back on this thread and the new one that I will start. If I don't seem to be getting it sorted, you further thoughts would be appreciated.

GV for incoming, and Obi for outgoing?
I would be interested in what you might add to clarify some of my confusion and any suggestions that you might make.

One question I have is why you started on the process in your #2 post above? Is the selection of pbxes and ipkall something that must be done regardless of the service provider, or was there some particular solution you were seeking and what was that?

Thanks

Astute question. No, it is not needed and, IMHO, adds an additional level of complexity that is unneeded. Not saying it won't work that way or that it wouldn't potentially add some features but for the average Obi owner looking to replace Google/XMPP it certainly is unnecessary and just adds complexity and another potential point of failure.

When I saw that info, my thought was as originally stated...:

I'm imagining that these settings could be used minus XMPP to get a GV number working on an Obi box too...and I may yet try it.

But I hadn't the time to try it out myself as yet, that's all.
