Move my OBI with Google talk to Germany

You could get a free callcentric number to maintain a US forwarding number for use with Google Voice.

Google voice with obi will work in Germany and other European countries without any problems once set up in the U.S. My mother used to use GV on Obi 100 for extended period of time overseas, however we moved away from GV recently. She can call me on my i-num even from her cell phone for free and for other us calls she can use Localphone for 0.5c/min. GV is not worth the hassle.

I wish Inum had more support. It would be an excellent service if more phone companies supported it.

Unfortunately, I-num is near death and not very reliable. However, for communication with friends/family where you are both customers of the same i-num provider- for example you are both Localphone customers-
the i-num call gets connected internally even if the system is down.

I haven't had issues personally aside from my above gripe. Internet telephony is still working it's way in to mainstream. Inum may die but so is the traditional telephone. It's a nice middle ground to connect the two. I have a sneaking suspicion whatever we end up with will eventually look more like an email address. I'm also a fan of ITAD (freenum.org).
