No, the 9 digit OBi number on the bottom of your device has absolutely nothing to do with Google.
Thanks! Is the number that's on the bottom of my obi device the number that I use as the phone number? When I call it I receive a message that says that it is not a working number.
I guess you didn't understand what Geoff posted in his reply.
OBi devices are just little computers. To use one, you need to subscribe to some form of VoIP telephone service, either Google Voice, or a SIP VoIP service provider. The nine-digit OBi number on the label on the bottom of the box is not a telephone number. It is a unique network ID that allows OBi devices to communicate with each other.
If you want to use Google Voice ,then you need to set it up.

Thank you soooo much! :) I used the link that you provided and now I have a google phone number that works with my obi202! I love this and am thrilled to now call and cancel my home phone service! Thanks again!
Yes, if you follow my instructions.
If this is too technically challenging for you, then an OBi device may not be the best option for you -- they are not simple "plug it in and it works automatically" gadgets.
