Title: Need help with OBI2182 and Google
Post by: michaeljtodd on November 15, 2021, 04:27:28 PM
Looking for a nice friendly person who might be able to help me with the OBI2182. I've read the manual. I am still lost and could use some help with many issues.  Anyone have some time to chat on the phone and help me out?

I have done that before, and I'm sorry, but it becomes a time-sink-hole.  Getting the phone simply set up to use Google Voice is easy, but mastering the nuances of OBi settings is not.

You'd have to first have a good understanding of how Google Voice works (nevermind on an OBi).

Some people are misled into thinking that Google Voice is just a "free telephone company", and it is certainly not that. 

If you want to ask some basic questions and you are already comfortable using Google Voice on its website (https://voice.google.com/ (https://voice.google.com/)) and on an Android or iPhone, then I can help you.

Sorry the "troll" is you SteveInWA. Do not come to OR. You would have to cross a bridge and one of your cousins may be under there.

WAIT I just saw the troll under the Interstate bridge. He was on the WASHINGTON side, not the Oregon side. He said his name was Steve. We have slugs in Oregon but no trolls
