GV configuration: 'Authentication error'
mdsteve:
New question before I start to reconfigure.
Am I also going to need to start over at the OBiTALK Portal with a new account based on this Gmail address?

No, your OBiTALK account can be totally independent. Mine is, for example, and I have a couple of different Google accounts configured on OBi devices. During the OBiTALK portal setup of a Google Voice service provider on an OBi device, it will display the Google accounts that you're logged into on your browser, and it will ask you which one you want to use. The next steps to authenticate your OBi device to the correct Google account will exchange the secure access token used by the OBi device to access the chat service on your Google account. None of this actually stores your Google password on the device.

Success!
Bit of a pain in the tuchus to set up a separate Google account and yet another email account (that's 3, and counting) when I already had a working GV that just wasn't linked to Gmail.
I try to keep life simple.....never mind, I'll get over it. ;)
Thank you for the patience and help.
