Making call from outside the USA thru GV with 2 Obis
Cruize:
Works fine here (Denmark). Normally Google just blocks creation of GV accounts outside of US, but if you first have one it is no problem.
jimates:
according to google, google voice service is not available outside the US. Some have reported being able to use google services even though it isn't suppose to work.
Plenty have reported no being able to access services such as google voice, google chat in gmail, etc.
So it is a YMMV, that is why we don't tell people it will work.

That is true, but yet I am almost 100% confident that it will work in most places using the OBi.
If I log into my Gmail account from outside the US I don't have the ability to use google voice unless I do a little trick ;D which doesn't involve any kind of proxy. Unfortunately if I post the little trick on a public website it will probably no longer be available.
So Google seems to try to avoid access to the webpart, but not the actual service.

Why use 2 OBis in the process?? Just connect directly to GV with the OBi outside of the US. Works perfectly and probably better than having the call go though 2 OBis first.

So giving your first statement, without including your "trick", was a waste. And makes everything else correct, using google voice outside the US is YMMV>
Cruize:
You don't need the trick to connect using an OBi. Only if you want to change Google Voice settings on the web.
Using 2 OBis is a waste :D
If you look in the post http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=269.0
