This is all documented, in detail, here:...

What I was trying to find out was what the problem was with the Obi tutorial, and what the OP did to resolve it, not necessarily looking for a complete set of steps to make it work. However, now that you have posted your link in this thread, anyone who lands here looking for a solution will find your post in order to be able to make it work, so thanks.
Despotes:
It was the basic Obi tutorial that I found incomplete. I had to fish around and find a more in depth set of instructions on thoroughly setting up Google Voice.
Steve's on it.
Still not sure what "Soft phone" is.
SteveInWA:
The "soft phone" is incredibly poorly documented.
It is a OBi number assigned for your use (if you wish) with OBi's "Obion" VoIP client software. It can't be deleted off of the dashboard, so you can just ignore it. They had Obion apps for iPhone, Android and PC. They work poorly, if at all, and are in need of maintenance. Their main benefit was to call into your OBi over VoIP from your smartphone, and access Your OBi's "auto-attendant", which would then allow you to bridge out to a new call, or call some other OBi.
If you are just interested in using your OBi with Google Voice, the Obion apps aren't necessary, since you can also make and receive calls using your Google Voice phone number, by installing the Google Hangouts apps for iOS or Android, or using the Hangouts web app with the Google Chrome Browser.
