Title: GV - phone to call out with only shows hangouts
Post by: wadewood on February 25, 2015, 07:28:53 AM
Calls made to my GV number ring my phone attached to my OBi just fine, but when I'm at my computer in GV and try to make a call the only options on phone to call with are my cell phone or Hangouts.  I used to make a calls that would ring the phone attached to the OBi.

I've uninstalled Hangouts.  I changed settings in gmail to use the old chat.  In GV settings, I do have the check mark to use Google Chat.  On OBi setup website, I've gone through the Google authentication setup. 

Any suggestions of how to fix?

Get a free DID from Callcentric or IPComms.
The Callcentric DID will cost $1.50/mo for E911.
Register the DID on your OBi.
Setup the DID as a forwarding number in GV.
Select the new number when initiating a call in GV.

I'm mad at a free service for removing that, but this works.  Thanks for the reply and the tip.
