SteveInWA:
Google Voice service is not available from China (by government restriction).  You'll have to try using some other service provider with your OBi.

I have US google voice number and account, I living in US, just go back China and bring the OBI 100, but my US GV can not connect to OBI 100, I guess the OBI 100 box is blocked by the router, my network is China Mobile.thanks for your reply.

SteveInWA:
That's correct:  you cannot connect to the Google Voice service while in China -- it is blocked by the Great Firewall of China.  It's not an OBi issue or a Google issue; it's a Chinese government issue.

It had nothing to do with GV.  It was simply that the Obi was unable to be reached from the server.  I discovered the "self troubleshooting" link and followed that.  It said

1) Dial ***6 and update firmware if available.  I did that and there was an update available, but updating did not solve the problem.

2) Dial ***1 to obtain the IP address of the Obi (it speaks the IPv4 into your ear).

2a) Use a browser to connect to this IP and you will get a web page.

WRONG!  You will be prompted for a login and password, which is not given by the troubleshooting guide.  I guessed a few times and got it: "admin" and "admin".  That got me in.

2b) Set the Obi's DNS to 4.2.2.2 (a public DNS server).

2c) Reboot.



I guess this VoIP stuff isn't exactly "just plug it in and go".  I mean, they could config the DNS in the factory for you, but they don't.  That means your DHCP has to serve the device a DNS that will work for it, and apparently that didn't happen.
