Google Voice with GVSip vs. OBi
azrobert:
You can use the Hangouts app on your Android for GV. The Android version has a separate Hangouts dialer.
GVsip did not receive inbound calls when the same GV account was defined on Raspbx. I don't know what will happen if the same account is defined on an OBi.

Thank Azrobert - you are always wonderfully helpful here !!
I really prefer to avoid Hangouts altogether - I've a pet peeve with the world being squished into 'social networking' garbage and all that stuff just presses my Big Red Button.
That is why I wonder about using GV via SIP.
In the past there was a GV Full Integration app that worked very well - but I got a newer $20 toy phone with Android 4 and it won't work with that.
Thanks !!

Have you used the Android hangouts app? Like I said above, the Android version has a separate dialer and it looks similar to any other softphone. I think you need the main Hangouts app installed, but you don't have to look at it.

If you use less than 1,000 minutes a month (Which most residential customers do) GVsip is the cheaper alternative because its free. Also the main purpose of GVsip is to enhance Google Voice. GVsip + OBi's enables speech recognition voice dialing from your address book, inbound caller ID, e911, MWI support, and much more.
I am looking for some feedback to improve the service, has anyone tried the service yet?

I know it is silly and perhaps some might even say petty of me - but I feel very strongly that too many folks are becoming addicted to 'social media' in place of genuine human contact - and for me, any usage of ANYTHING labeled 'social media' seems to be supportive of communication via proxy.
As a result, I have avoided anything a'tall to do with any part of 'hangouts' the same as I've never been, nor will ever be part of the FB (fecesbook) phenomena.
I do thank you sincerely for being so very helpful.
