Google Chat missing from your phone list

[Edge]

Hello OBi!

I had been troubleshooting a ringing issue and removed Google Voice service from my Obi110.  With no change in the problem I removed "Google Chat" from my phone list in Google Voice, thinking somehow me re-adding it via the OBitalk wizard and Google sign in would add the Google Chat as a phone back.  WRONG.  Struggled for a couple of days trying different things to get Google Chat back.

This may have been posted elsewhere, I'm new to the forums here, but the link below had the fix.  Hope it may help some of you one day!

In essence it shows you how to revert to old chat and force a call request/action which makes G chat show back up.
