Well, I got a replacement OBi and it does seem that the old one must have gone bad some how.
I got it to work, uploaded my configuration, got GV to work on it, but I have one issue.
Under obitalk, it shows it's online and working, all green, however if I edit it in expert, I cannot get a status report of the device, it says something like cannot retrieve requested information from the device now, try again later.
When I go to the device status page locally I see the SP1 is working and connected, but on the OBi talk service it says Backing off. I have another obi that is just fine, it's just this one that says backing off. The GV line works fine, but I can't call from obi to obi for example, or from my iphone app to that particular obi.
