Using OBi 100 with Google Voice in South America

(1/4) > >>

Reuven:
I have 2 OBi devices - OBi 110 and OBi 100. I use both with two different Google Voice numbers.

We are traveling to South America soon. I would like to take with me the OBi 100 and use it there (hooking up the unit to relative's router).

My questions are:

Would it work unmodified to make and receive phone calls?

Would I need to change any settings ahead of time or after arrival?

Anything else I should be aware of?

In the past I used to get MajicJack for that purpose, but I would rather avoid spending money if I can use my OBi device.

Thanks for your help,
Reuven

As long as "South America" truly means South America, and not Mexico, it should work fine.  Google Chat/Hangouts will generally not work in Mexico, thanks to their government's ties to Carlos Slim's telecom empire.

Reuven:
We are going to Colombia. In my book Mexico is North America...

SteveInWA:
Right... That's why I was just confirming your planned destination.  Some people are intellectually and geographically challenged, so one never knows.  Happy travels!

Steve...is there a compilation or list of countries that GV and the OBi will not work in?
