I tried your suggestion... OBiTALK displays: "SP2 Google Voice Connected".

But, same as before a very short ring tone, then a fast busy.

My OBi200 has only been configured via OBiTALK for Callcentric and Google Voice, and the Simon GVGW settings... no other tweaking.

Do I need to do something with Google Chat... see SteveInWA's post http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460

Your symptom indicates that you don't have Google Chat added to your Google Voice account as a forwarding target.

See my instructions:  http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460

Thanks Steve,

I thought the problem was the Chat/Hangout thing, but had no clue on how fix it.

Your post had me stuck at...
"If you do not see the Google Chat forwarding destination, then open another browser tab, log into Gmail, not GV, and use Google Chat, not Google Hangouts to make one outbound phone call.  This will restore Chat to your list of forwarding targets."

I spent two days working on a major bathroom remodel and searching/clicking in Gmail to find "Google Chat".

I have have NO CLUE what "Google Chat" or "Google Hangouts" are.  I am old and just trying to lower my phone bill.

I guess it was my problem for not reading the next step in your post...
"If your Gmail account is using Google Hangouts, instead of Google Chat, then you need to temporarily revert back to Chat to make the phone call.  To do this..."

Any chance you can change the little black dots to numbers... steps 1 thru 12?

Anyway it is now working... CC does not show any outgoing activity... equals FREE. :-)

Now I am off to find out if the outgoing CallerID phone number can be spoofed to the CC incoming phone number.

THANKS,
Mike

Steve's old school. We're all lucky he didn't take out punctuations and capitalizations like Koine Greek! Even so, it's still the best instructions for the careful reader.

If "old school" means writing more than 160 characters and using actual words in the dictionary, then that's me.

Google Voice does not support caller ID spoofing.
