Today I reset my OBi110. But I found that I cannot add it to the OBiTalk site afterwards. I dialed **5 6014 from the telephone handset as instructed on the "Add an OBi Device" page, and I heard the automated response. But this page just stayed there and eventually it timed out, with error saying failure in adding my device.
I tried **9-222-222-222. But I heard - "There is no service available to complete your call."
If it is indeed caused by the OBiTalk site issue, then I think OBIHAI need to bring the Google Voice set-up capability to the local web-admin interface as soon as it can. Cloud computing does have its own share of vulnerability even many ardent supporters are not willing to admit it.
I ended up begrudgingly set up
voip.ms locally for the moment. But
voip.ms is way more expensive than Google voice. It charges US dollars even it is based in Canada. It even charges tax on top of it. North America calling is not free either. Calls to China take a long time to ring. In contrast, in calls to China via Google Voice, I can hear the ring immediately. Small companies really cannot compete again large companies. Also I really don't really care about the Caller ID stuff. I don't really care about what will show up on the recipient's phone screen when I call them. So I can live with Google Voice on that matter.
