The OBi100 and OBi110 are based on a more basic platform than the other OBi models. So (for now at least) WebRTC isn't supportable on these devices.
It used to be supported on the OBi1XX. What changed? I note some not so subtle marketing coercion effort to get users on board with the 4477 firmware which incorporates the Google two-step verification process. I hope this is not a case of planned obsolescence. My 110 units are working fine as they are, pre 4477.

If the "Call OBi" button is not working for you, there are alternate ways of making browser or softphone based calling using far the away obi. Here is one simple way you can use GTalk to make calls to your obi reliably. This gives callers the ability to make other calls using the voip services of the far away OBi. In other words it has all of the abilities of the OBI "Call button" without the limitations. Note that I have not tested this recently.
So what is unique about the OBion app vs using the Google Talk client?

This other method will require much more effort on your part as it needs you to preconfigure a portable app and perhaps need to port forward in your router. Using a portable app such as phonerlite portable ( http://phonerlite.de/download_en.htm ), you can preconfigure your ip address or dns name into the app and let them download it to their computer.
In any case all these methods require some basic knowledge of the OBi inbound call rules in order to direct the call to your phone. For some background on what to consider in crafting inbound call rules, have a look at the link I provided above.

Sir :
I think,.. it’s working after 1-2 trial and struggle this way and that way,… as I still did not try calling myself from outside,.. and probably I called over and over, perhaps when my phone was already in a answering mode of the previous attempt and such,…. But after 2-3 struggle attempts the button works.
The things you explained is very technical and I can not get even 0.001 % of what is been said,.. so on a layman pov,.. it’s even more tedious anyway.
But, thanks for yr advise and assisting.

Are you sure? I tried it at fairly regular intervals from when the feature was first available and it never worked to my 110. Always some message - can't remember if it said "not 100 series" or "200 series only" - that made it quite clear that my 110 was not supported.

It seems, two diff. things are being confused here .
1. Loging in, onto the obitalk website and making phone calls thro’ that webpage ( by mic/headsets ) using your device to call to other US phone numbers and even worldwide ( at a a charge, to a non-obi number ), from your device .
2. New feature which has just been added this month, about,……
Other of your world-wide friends, who does not have even the device and / or account and without even logging in, they can call you, to your device, via their Web browser for free.
I guess,..
the feature no. 1 was always there for a long time,.. including the old models,.
And the feature no. 2 is just added, this month,
and to new models only with that updated software installed, n' with the updated browsers of Mozilla, GC or Opera, and equipped PC with microphone /headsets/speakers/built-in mic ,.. etc.
