went to obitalk and clicked the provider link, put in the area code for 7-digit calling, and that was it. I'm able to make phone calls, but I have no idea if it's going out as my google voice number or my Phone Power phone number.
On my google voice settings, I'm shown my google voice phone number, and links to CHANGE/PORT, DELETE, or TRANSFER. Am I supposed to click on one of those and put in the phone power number? HELP and THANKS!
I honestly can't tell if this is a serious post or not.
You said you are able to make phone calls. Why don't you call your cell phone and look at the number that is being displayed? Or whomever you call, why don't you ask them what number is being displayed when you call them?????
And when you're in Google Voice settings and you see links to "CHANGE/PORT, DELETE, or TRANSFER" what do you see when you scroll down a little bit????
completely serious... yes was able to call cell phone, but no number displayed. However, I did get a google voice mail alert for that call, and I have got voice mails from others. So I presume it is working. Unfortunately, now my uniden phone set won't connect to the obitalk. I think it's a battery issue in the master unit, but will not know for sure until I replace battery.
re what I see when I scroll down from CHANGE/PORT, DELETE, or TRANSFER: I see a box to check to forward calls to Google Chat, which I have unselected. Below that, there is a section to verify cell phone (which I have not done) and below that ADD ANOTHER PHONE.
My only nagging doubt is, because google voice has not yet lifted the support for my model obhai, am I still using the old system? I don't think so, because I unselected google chat, which is how the old system connected, if I remember correctly.
thanks for the help...

OK, got my second email next day 4pm EST - 17 hours later, and it auto-updated my OBI at that time.
No audio for first 20 second of any call so far. I'm sure it's not too hard to fix, but I don't have time too look into now - that's why I signed up Thursday night when I had time.
I think I'll just switch my OBI back to GV in the meantime since that still works great :)
Finally was at home and had time to switch back to GV. When I signed up with PhonePower, I was hoping all my custom digit maps would remain in place, and they would just replace GV with PhonePower. I think that was basically the case, but...
I had FPL on SP1 as my primary line, with 911 service (I live in Canada), and GV on SP2. I specifically did not select to use PhonePower as my primary line when signing up through OBI ASP. When my PhonePower automatically replaced GV some time on Friday (when I wasn't home and with no notice), they made PhonePower the primary line (so my *98 FPL voicemail stopped working), and also removed the 911 calling from FPL!!!!!!!! I suppose PhonePower has 911 support for Canada, but I doubt it would have worked with my digit maps and call routes. Luckily, no one in my family needed to call 911 over the last couple of days.
The easy configuration of ASPs was a nice idea, but perhaps not as well thought out as it should have been. 911 calling should be tested in any case with any change, but that's hard to do when you're not the one deciding when the configuration change will happen.

I switched off google voice an onto phonepowers $59.99 a year unlimited plan. They or obihai automatically replaced my google voice jibberish with phonepower jibberish. I went to phonepower and setup an account and paid and the phone was working as soon as I finished. The only thin I had to do was log into google voice and add my new phonepower number as the default forwarding number. google called it, i entered a code and my old number rang my new number. phonepower even set it up to use my google voice number as my caller id. the whole thing took maybe 10 minutes. most of which was entering address etc. call quality seems better actually
My experience was exactly the same -- almost couldn't believe how smooth and easy it was.
