Title: Help transitioning Obi202 from GV to VOIPo
Post by: tazmo on March 03, 2014, 02:11:31 PM

Hi-

I've been using an obi110 on GV for a long time. I bought a obi202 when they first came out to have as a standby incase the obi110 died.

Now that GV is going away, I purchased a 2 year Voipo plan and am trying to configure the obi202 to connect to Voipo. I have not hooked up the grandstream unit they sent me.

I log into obitalk.com and set up my sp1 by choosing the voipo.com option. I plug in my voipo username and password. I then wait, but the service never gets out of the "service not configured" state.... ever.

I can log into my obi202 directly and see the details for sp1. I see my username and password (or the "*"'s) but I don't see anywhere *on the obi202* that mentions any voipo.com sip gateway or welcome.voipo.com servers (etc) or any mention of voipo.com servers anywhere.

Does configuring voipo.com work from obitalk.com?  It *is* listed as one of the voip providers supported by obitalk (obviously).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

Just wondering. Did you delete your Obi110 from ObiTalk. Might be a conflict. I'm new to this myself so it was first thing to come to mind.

Did you ever get your Obi working well with the VOIPo service?  Here are a few links to older postings that might help.  I am also planning to switch from GV to VOIPo ... please let me know if you have any tips on making it work well ... thanks...

I have Voipo running on Obi202 for a couple years now. Here is a post by Voipo's owner on the topic: http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php/5660-Obihai-VOIPo-Option

Note, you have to connect their Grandstream and be online in order to get SIP credentials. Here are my thoughts on this decision: http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php/34223-Credentials-require-Voipo-device-online

Hopefully, by now you are up and running. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Works fine for me

Just to clarify, once you get activated using the Grandstream you should be able to disconnect it and then use Obi.  Personally I've just kept my Grandstream connected as it works just fine for me.  I also have my VOIPo account programmed into my Obi as a backup or a travel adapter though.
