I too, after much time being happy enough with the Obihai 202, am now ready to toss it in the blender and hit puree. Ever since they have figured out a way to try to extort more money from people.
I am in my late 80's and have to have my son work on it.
It has Build 5264, and we're trying to put in Build 5285, so far it hasn't done the update. And even though there is an update, dialing ***6 says there is no update available.
However, while it is updating I can make an outgoing call, but then it reverts to the same thing, a dial tone, dial a number, and then a dial tone again. Almost like it looks up to see if you've paid the extortion fee, and if not you don't get your call put through. On the ObiTalk Dashboard it shows the phone connected.
Hours and hours have been spent trying to fix something that was fine for months and months.
Help PLEASE.
Thank you.
p.s.: Apparently it absolutely refuses to install that update.
Yes it can be frustrating but there is no extortion.
You have not said that you are trying to use Google Voice but your mention of "Connected" on the Dashboard suggests that you are. Go through the procedure documented by SteveInWA. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460

We might disagree a bit on the extortion, but I can't see why something that works fine for months suddenly stops working, with an update available that can't be installed, at a company that says "well, if you cough up some money you won't have to search and be frustrated by what a reputable company provides access to."
But, somehow it is working again, and yes thank you and thank you to SteveInWA whose help is still providing people benefit.
p.s.: And here it is a few hours later, not working again. Now I can't make outgoing calls, just dead silence on the line. And remember, this was working fine earlier in the day, as it was extensively checked, and now, it is not working, and nothing has been done to the account, the Obihai 202, or the phone.

Here is the link to the latest Obi20x firmware: http://fw.obihai.com/OBi202-3-1-1-5463EX.fw
I wonder why OBiTalk does not post it.
restamp:
This evening I updated my OBi202 to the 5463EX firmware. Since this device is out of warranty, I expected I'd have to download the .fw file and apply it manually. In fact, I'd already downloaded the firmware file. But on a lark I clicked on the orange triangle just to see what it would do and lo-and-behold it pushed the latest load down to the 202 just fine.
Has OBi changed their policy?
SteveInWA:
I posted elsewhere that that I had the same experience: a couple of my out-of-support devices got the yellow triangle and thus, the easy update. However, dialing ***6 didn't offer the update. So, who knows.
