Google Voice back as Approved Service Provider!?
Wilbour:
We we seem to be back to normal. I had to manually update my firmware. The obi said there was no update required but the Obiha portal said I could not configure GV without the update. After the manual update it was still not connected. Don't get me wrong, the unit still worked as it was intended. I forced a factory reset ***8. Then I had to re-register it but then the GV configurer worked. I just had to do some adjustments like the # key to force a barge in. Trust me, it took less time to re-learn this time.
MrBi11:
Do all new obihai devices use the new OATH method?
If not, which use the old?
Does firmware update of my OBI100 load the new OATH?
(that seems implied by posts, but i cant find obitalk.com coming out and saying so.)
BTW I used the lazy persons approach to moving providers, just waited for it to stop working, which never happened.
My home phones are my second phone, so if they stop working i dont care much. I dont see a need to pay for 2 phone services since my cell is primary.
OT- i could never get a good fax over obi100. Is this changed in newer OBI models? Firmware update?
Does GV or hangouts have any (public) plans to support fax?
(SteveinWA, thanks for the valuable and helpful posts.)

My understanding is that all the OBi devices which support GV use the new OATH method. Possibly a device which was configured using the old method and has never been 'disturbed' will continue to work unless/until GV is reconfigured on it. Maybe someone else can confirm or refute that.

All OBi 100, 110, 200 and 202 ATAs running current firmware, and all OBi IP phones, use OAUTH 2.0 authentication to access users' Google Voice accounts. You can refer to the firmware section of this forum to check version and build levels and, if necessary, upgrade to the latest version.

The OAUTH 2.0 support was added via a firmware update for OBi 100, 110, 200 and 202 models.

OBi 200 and 202 models added support the T.38 fax over IP protocol, which is also supported over the Google Voice IP carrier network, and which provides improved reliability for faxing over VoIP service providers that support it. Google has not announced any plans to provide a fax mailbox service, nor would I expect them to expend any resources doing so.
