Title: How to Connect to Google Voice Account without using GMail
Post by: cballew on February 21, 2015, 03:47:49 PM
Does anybody have a solution on configuring an OBi device (e.g. OBi100) to use Google Voice without using an GMail address?

OBi's FAQ states:
Can I use a non-@Gmail account Username with Google Voice on the OBi?
Yes, you can use non-gmail account (such as your Google Apps account) and your Google Voice account can be configured on the OBi.

When setting up I always get a Backing Off (0s): Authentication Error

SteveInWA posted instructions http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460  (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.msg56460#msg56460) but his instructions don't work when not using a GMail account as indicated in these two topics: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9304.0 (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9304.0) and http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8786.0 (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8786.0)

Any ideas or a link to something I've missed?

Hi:

My instructions are the current, and only procedure that applies to using Google Voice on OBi devices.  Just get yerself a Gmail account, and transfer your number into that account.
