Well.....you tell me. Check out this blog post:

Edit: I just noticed the blog post is from 2020 so it may be outdated.
Edit2: OP returned OBi300 to Amazon and got a Grandstream HT801.
I don't know what they were seeing back then. I don't have a 300 model, so I have never tried to use it with the OBiTALK portal. I do have a Poly VVX 450 with the "OBi Edition" firmware. I was able to add it to the OBiTALK portal, but a lot of the settings were missing. It never could be provisioned with consumer GV. I still use that phone now, but with Callcentric. It was the first VoIP hardware to be approved and enabled for Google Voice for Workspace.
It's all moot anyhow, since that was then, and this is...well, now, with the consumer OBiTALK situation approaching.
At this point, there is no reason for anyone to add a current-production Poly product to the consumer OBiTALK portal. The devices should either be provisioned by the service provider (remotely via
PDMS ) or individually via the device's embedded webpage menus.
