Google Voice back as Approved Service Provider!?
lezleeann:
I am not disabling 2-step. That's what keeps my Google account secure. Have you confirmed that Obi will no longer work with Google Voice for people using 2-step security? If so, I won't be using it. They previously supported it so I am hoping there is way now also.
BigJim_McD:
I have two Google Voice accounts each with it's own phone number. Both of the accounts are setup to use 2-Step security. I did not have to make any changes in how I use 2-Step security on my gmail accounts associated with my Google Voice phone numbers.
After the changes in the way OBi devices configure, we no longer have to use a password during the procedure when adding or reconfiguring a Google Voice account onto a Service Provider port {sp1, sp2, sp3 or sp4}. If you have more than one Google (email) account, logout of your google account, then log back in with the Google account associated with the Google Voice phone number that you want to add or update. Then access OBiTalk, select or add your OBi device. Select the "SP" port that you want to configure. Select the options you want, then "Save" the configuration and you will be prompted to select your Google account.
SteveInWA has posted some of the best information on how to configure (or recondigure) Google Voice on OBi devices after the recent changes on OBiTalk to improve security.

I have an OBi100 that was configured for use with Google Voice back in January, and continued to work even after May 15th.
After reading the announcement regarding Google Voice, I found this very informative thread regarding the change in authentication protocols.
I decided to take the advice of those who suggested deleting the "old" GV setup, and then adding it back again to use the new, more secure GV authentication method.
I logged into GV, then opened another browser tab and logged into OBiTalk. From the dashboard for my device, I deleted GV from SP1, then clicked the button "Google Voice Setup". That brought up a dialog box saying that "This device needs to be upgraded to continue. Click OK to upgrade device, or CANCEL to go back". I clicked OK, which brought me to another page "Update in progress...". After about 90 seconds, I was returned to the dashboard with an error message at the top, "Failed to update device 123456789. Please try again later.", and no GV in SP1.
I've checked the OBi100 directly through it's web admin page, and it shows the software version as 1.3.0, Build 2824, which is the most current version I see listed on the website.
Dose anyone know what's going on, and how I can get GV back? Thanks.

It sounds like the automatic firmware upgrade did not complete on your OBi. Seems to be happening for a lot of people with 1xx series OBi devices.
Here is one thing you could try although you do so at your own risk.
Download the update to your computer from here:
http://fw.obihai.com/OBi110-1-3-0-2872.fw
Install the firmware manually from the web interface directly on your OBi under System Management>Device Update
If that is successful, log into the Google account associated with the GV number you wish to use
In another browser tab, login to Obitalk and try adding Google Voice back to SP1
Note: I just downloaded version 2872 and upgraded my OBi110 manually without any issues. However, I don't have Google Voice configured on that device and have no plans to so I can't say if that part would be successful but it was a breeze on my OBi200.
