Receiving incoming calls on Obi110

I'm not a Google Voice expert, but I believe you can use it in most countries, although calling for free only works within North America.
It is tricky but not impossible to configure Google Voice in countries outside USA (and Canada?) But once configured it can be used anywhere (except where blocked by administrations). Calls to N. American numbers are free regardless of where the calling GV terminal is located.

Thanks ianobi and drgeoff.
Sounds like GV is too much trouble to worry about without any real gain.
Ianobi, your info re the use of Obi Expert or the web browser probably explains why all my settings seemed to change without me doing it, like the DigitMaps, so I will disable that feature as I am getting quite familiar with the browser interface now. I will play around with the impedance as that sounds like a likely solution.

Hi ianobi,
I disabled the Obi Expert from the interface and unchecked the 4 boxes relating to port detect properties as you first suggested, and changed all my DigitMaps to those for Australia. The phone now works for incoming and outgoing calls as I want it to, but the sound quality is not really good so I will play around with the Impedance.
Thanks for your help, and I have 2 more questions.
How do I speed up the time between the phone ringing on the other connection and the one thru the Obi, and are there any other simple things you can suggest to tweak the system?
drgeoff:
1. Ringing delay. Have a look at Physical Interfaces, Line Port, RingDelay. Check that the Australian xml has changed that from the US default of 4000 (milliseconds) to 400.
2. Regarding call quality from the PSTN line through the OBi. Can you temporarily disconnect anything else that is also on that line so that the Obi is the only device on it? Does the call quality improve and to an acceptable level?
Greybear:
The ringdelay has been changed to 400 but there is still a couple of seconds delay, about 2 o3 rings. It is a problem that I can live with so I will reduce that and see what happens. If I can’t change it I will not lose any sleep over it.
I changed the impedance to 270+(750||150 nF) and 275+etc and that seemed to improve the sound quality to an acceptable level, so I will not worry about changing that.
Thanks again
