Google voice does not work with Obi100
Crow550:
On the Obi side:
Just make sure Google Chat is checked under Forwarding Phones in the G-Voice site settings. For getting calls in.
Then on the Obi use the new secure login and not the old method and wait 5 minutes for it to register and it should work just fine. ;)
You can also use Hangouts on your PC, Phone and Tablet to make & get calls and Voicemails along with SMS & MMS messaging. :)

SteveInWA and Crow550, thank you so much for great suggestions.
But unfortunately in gmail I do not see any "chat bubble". And when I click on my name on the top it takes me directly to google plus and there is nothing at the bottom! I converted to google plus because I wanted to use hangouts since it is pretty much the only application officially supported.
In google+ settings I do see the option to disable account, but then I will loose hangouts function correct?
SteveInWA:
Log into Gmail, not GV, nor Google+. Look on the left side of the page, midway down, for your avatar. This is either a generic head and shoulders icon, or a photo you may have uploaded to represent yourself. Click it. The Hangouts settings box should pop up. Look at the bottom of that box for the small link, "Revert to old chat". Click it. Now, you have old Chat again. Use it to make one outbound phone call. After you do that, you can click your avatar again, and click "Try the new Hangouts" to go back to using Hangouts.
This procedure will re-add the Chat forwarding destination to the Google Voice Settings-->phones tab.

See my attached screenshots. for the Hangouts settings box, and the little Chat/Hangouts talk balloon icon at the bottom left of the Gmail web page, that you may need to click once to toggle the avatar section on or off.

OK, I think I know what happens. In gmail, first I went to "try the new hangouts". Then at the left panel under my name, indeed "revert to old chat" appeared at the bottom. So I reverted it back to old chat, and this is where I'm now. In both cases, I went back to google voice settings and still cannot see how I can add gtalk. The only option is to "add a new phone" regardless whether it is a new or old chat.
SteveInWA:
I've explained this twice, and, by the way, it is explained countless times elsewhere in this forum.
After you temporarily revert to Chat, MAKE ONE OUTBOUND TELEPHONE CALL, using the Chat keyboard on Gmail. This will re-add the Chat forwarding destination to your Google Voice forwarding phones list.
