Obihai is excited to announce official support for Google Voice. With a Google Voice account and a companion OBi device you can make and receive VoIP calls on a regular telephone. To get started, just login to the OBiTALK website, add your OBi device and select Google Voice as your service. You’ll then confirm your account with Google, and within minutes, you will be making and receiving calls from the comfort and convenience of your home phone. “With a Google Voice account configured on an OBi device, users will not only get all the great collaboration tools and app integration with Google Voice, they will also be able to enjoy many premium calling features, free calling within the U.S. and Canada and super-low cost international calling – all from the comfort of their home phone," said Jan Fandrianto, President and CEO of Obihai.

Very annoying to have scrambled to find and pay for a new provider earlier in the year to now find out that it was never going away.  Geez.

Just curious what does official support mean?  I know it means our Obi devices will keep working with Google Voice, but just curious what's happening behind the scenes: Google is officially endorsing the Obi devices and will keep XMPP running?  Or Obi devices are/will be upgraded to work with the new Hangouts protocol?  My Obi doesn't seem to be asking for a firmware update.
