Google Voice Setup on OBi100 SP1 "Connected" but not working
cluckercreek:
That would be yes that the Obi1xx can only have 1 GV number. The Obi2xx series can have 4 GV numbers.

My steps are outlined in my post, but I will try again in case it is not clear. In order to add Google Chat back into the Google Voice setting, I downloaded and logged into Google talk Beta.
I did that.

Once logged into the email account with my GV number, I then did a call from the Google Talk app.
I didn't see anything on the little talk window to click to call from that app, nor to log into the email acct w/my GV number.

I went back to GV setting and bam it was sitting there.
I did log into gmail, but the only hint of calling from gmail was with Hangouts. I didn't want to use that but saw no way to get the old chat interface and no way to make any call from the little talk window, so I did use hangouts. I called some of my own phones and it showed the calls coming from my GV number. I went back to GV setting and no bam and no Chat sitting there.

Maybe others have a more simple approach and honestly, I am unsure if it would work with those converted to Hangouts with different steps, but my account was converted and it did not show up again until I loaded the Google Talk app and made the call.
My frustration probably shows here, but don't think I blame you, hp. I just want to make GV work on my Obi 110 again as before. Now I can't call out because it rings a little and then makes fast busy and I can only get a ring on the house phones because I have PhonePower on SP2 and GV forwards to that. >:( :-[

Log into Gmail, not Google Voice, on a laptop or desktop computer, not a mobile device. On your main Gmail inbox page, look on the left side of the page for your avatar. This is either a generic head and shoulders icon, or your photo or GIF that you uploaded to represent yourself. If you don't see your avatar at all, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Gmail page, and click the small grey "chat balloon" to toggle it on or off.
Click your avatar to open up Hangouts options. Look down at the bottom of the white options box for the small link "Revert to old Chat" and click it. See my attached screenshot.
After you have reverted to old chat, click the telephone handset icon to pop up the Chat dialer to make a call. This should re-install the Chat forwarding destination to Google Voice.
After you confirm that it did so, you can reverse the procedure in Gmail by clicking "Try the new Hangouts". Your Chat "phone" will not go away.

Thank you Steve! You removed every possible foolish error and hence I got to Old Chat, called my mobile (GrooVe ip), answered it, called myself back, answered with the SP1 phone and, to borrow a term, bam--both problems were fixed. Now to enjoy the Obi-GV nostalgia :)
When my new Obi 202 arrives I will have enough SPs for GV, PP, CC and Ringto on one box. I'm giddy.

Yes! Thank you Steve... that was the recipe. THe old Google Talk beta would not allow me to login and was not needed. No reason to install that.
