As a box that was designed to use GV, that exact function is no more, BUT:
As an ATA it remains quite usable for a very low expense.

Example from our house:
We have an Obi2xx and an Obi110, both working fine right now.
The 2xx is doing its native GV thing;
The 110 is connected via a very cheap ITSP that allows it to get & make calls while still taking incoming GV calls & keeping the nifty GV features active for that number.

It is very doable, and this costs us well under $2/month.
Not 100% free as GV was for the same box, but loads less than any cellular, landline or VOIP option that is open to us.
(YMMV, of course.)

You can use the OBi110 as a 2nd phone port for the OBi200 to make and receive GV calls by routing calls to/from the OBi200 via SIP. You can use your current GV account or add a 2nd to the OBi200.
