I'm not the one with a reading comprehension problem; I described exactly how to do this last year, here:
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460
All you needed to do was what you described, make the one phone call using Chat. This has been thoroughly discussed on this forum.
You can then switch your Google account to use Hangouts, and happily use Hangouts clients on a laptop/desktop computer, or on a mobile Android or iOS device. This has no effect whatsoever on the operation of your OBi device, which will concurrently work fine using XMPP, while the Hangouts clients will also continue to work independently.
Thousands of OBi customers, myself included, are doing just that.
You might should know that you are arguing with likely the most knowledgeable user in the forum when it comes Google Voice. If SteveInWA discusses Google Voice you can rest assured he is giving you the straight poop.

I almost posted the same thing but decided to let SteveInWA defend himself at that point. If someone is more knowledgeable on Google Voice in this forum then they have been keeping there mouth shut. There aren't that many people more knowledgeable(excluding Google employees) even on the official Google Voice forums.
I unofficially declare this topic dead!

I've used the "revert to old chat" method discussed in this thread in the past and it did work. However, today my Google Chat forwarded phone in Google Voice disappeared and nothing I do brings it back. Anyone else having trouble with this? My Obi won't ring now and I'm wondering if Google did something new with Hangouts and that caused this problem. Thanks.
cluckercreek:
Mine has disappeared as well. I checked the settings of course in Gmail and nothing there had changed. I guess it is gone now.
Taoman:
Mine is gone also. If this is system wide then I'm guessing there are a lot of phones connected to Obihai ATAs that are not ringing tonight.
I wonder if this is a glitch or permanent..........
