Help! Setting up Google Voice on new OBi
lrosenman:
calls to your Google Voice number should now ring the phone(s) attached to your Obi.
As well, calls from the phone(s) on the Obi should go out via Google Voice, assuming that's the SP you have set up.

Your the man! I don't get it but it works know. Wish I could change my UN handle now.
Thank you so much.
lrosenman:
You are welcome. The way the Obi works is as a CHAT client to Google Voice, so therefore to send calls from the Google Voice number, it needs the chat phone enabled as a forwarding destination.

Sorry for delay had to shovel snow before cars came home. Great. During OBi setup I had GV Forward to my old land line # as default from when I did a Google test call. Not sure if that was a problem for smooth/problem free setup. I'm using OBi to ring old land line that is now disconnected from utility. The house phone has a digital answering machine which is mostly the reason for the house phone. If you would like to offer any other advice I'm all ears. Thanks again.

Hi. I'm a newbie also.
I read through these messages, and I think I'm having the same issue, in setting up GV. I can't make or receive calls yet with the GV/OBI200.
In reading the posts, it seems that I have to 'revert' to google chat to make a call, so that my GV connects to my Obi200 correctly. In GV, I can't figure out how to revert to google chat to make that call.
In GV, I can't find how/where to forward calls to my GV number via chat. Frustrated :/
