Tried setting up Google Voice. What's my phone number???
Despotes:
I'm having a frustrating time getting this to work. Obi 200 w/Google voice. I followed the tutorials to a T.
I tried using the 9 digit "Obi No." thinking that was my number, but I get the message, ..."cannot complete your call, please check your number and dial again"
Also, in my Dashboard there are 2 Speed dial settings. One is for a "soft phone" whatever that is and the other is my OBi200. Both have a Number/Address box. I tried calling both numbers, but again the same message.
?????????

I finally figured it out. Google voice wasn't completely set up. You'd never know it if you simply follow the Obi tutorial. Got my phone number. It works.
Final question: Can I get rid of my mobile "Forwarding" number(I provided Google) after setting this up? The reason I got the Obi 200 was to save money by eventually getting rid of my mobile phone and picking up a tracfone.
If I can't, is there another provider that doesn't require a permanent "forwarding" number after set up is completed? VOIP.ms?
Can I change my forwarding phone number if I cancel my cell and get a tracfone?

Get the tracphone and add it as a forwarding phone. Then you can get rid of the cell. I was using a straight talk phone for forwarding. Since most of my calls were with the OBi, I was only using the cell for about 15 minutes a month. The last month before I got the tracphone, my straight talk phone was not in service and it didn't affect google voice calls to the OBi.

Since you figured it out, could you post what the missing steps were so that others could benefit? Thanks.
