Hi all, new user here and just got my Obi100 set up at my house, using Google voice. So far it's been great and I'm very impressed with the call quality (I'll be porting the home number soon and bidding goodbye to "regular" phone service!).
I'd like to have the ability to make calls between my home phone (attached to the Obi) and my laptop computer (attached to wifi at whatever hotel room I happen to be in) so that my wife and I can keep in touch (I travel overseas often). Any suggestions on the best way to do this? After some forum research, I figured the best way would be to set up ObiON on my computer for use with X-lite. I haven't had any luck getting X-lite to work (and have tried all kinds of "fixes" found on numerous internet forums, to no avail so far). Before I waste countless more hours trying to figure it out, I thought I'd ask if anyone has a "better" way of accomplishing this communication method? Am I on the right track here? If need be, I'll bury my head in the interweb again and keep on trying with ObiON/X-lite.
Thanks all!
PS - I DO have another Google voice number available to me already - would I need to use it in this case? I don't think so, as from my understanding the Obi can place calls between 2 "soft" phones (i.e. my home handset and my computer).
PS - If anyone is curious, the message I get when trying to sign in to X-lite is "account failed to enable".
