Does new Google Voice integration still use Google Chat?

(1/2) > >>

I had my Obi100 working with Google voice for a couple of years using the forward call to google chat to Obitalk configuration process.

I always wished I could have Google Voice work with the Obi100 AND answer calls on my computer. 

I configured my Obi100 for the new Google Voice integration today and was very happy it did not seem to involve Google chat.  But I still cannot receive calls on my computer.

Is the Google Chat phone still used to send calls to the Obi100? 

Or should I be able to use both the Obi100 and receive calls on my computer via Google Voice / Gmail Talk?

gderf:
Google voice still uses Chat. I can answer calls on my PC using Google Talk, my OBi, and my cell phone, but apparently not Gmail.

pdx_obi_user:
So if I deselect forward calls to Google Chat will it stop forwarding calls to my Obi100?

I will look into Google Talk, I thought the only option I had for receiving calls was through Gmail Chat.

Thanks

pdx_obi_user:
Thank you. 

Google Talk works awesome.  I now have all the functionality I have been looking for.

When I disabled call forwarding to Google Chat it appears that it stops forwarding the calls to my Obi device.

gderf:
Yes, disabling Google Chat as a forward will not ring your OBi, unless another forward is configured to do so. Even with Chat disabled as a forward, you can still make outgoing GV calls.
