ObiEXTRAs - Information, Issues, Solutions?
#=================================================#
I've worked with Obihai Tech Support on some of the issues after activating the TRIAL of ObiExtras. I would advise you to not activate the feature on an OBi device at this time unless you have a "SPARE" OBi device that you don't use for regular phone service.
I swapped the one I'm testing from my "Primary" OBi for phone service to a "Clone" that is for backup and testing only. During testing, I've seen what appears to be reboots several times, device not responding and I keep loosing access to the test OBi202's local web admin interface. The previous stated issues have become less frequent with time and appear to have been resolved
ObiEXTRAs - Information, Issues, Solutions?
#=================================================#
2015-12-27 - Update: There are now Solutions to Three OBiEXTRAs issues.
I have no idea what issues Obihai Technical Support is still working on as they haven't contacted me for several days.

ObiEXTRAs features that I'm testing:
1) Import Google Contacts <: "Reports" as successful, appears to work now.
2) Caller ID/Name (from Google Contacts) <: Only works with calls received on an SP port configured to receive Google Voice Calls via Google Chat.
3) Caller ID/Name (from Google Contacts) <: Does NOT work for Google Voice calls forwarded to other Service Providers such as
voip.ms, etc.
4) Caller ID/Name (from Google Contacts) <: Does NOT work for Google Voice Contacts that have an entry that includes "iNums".
5) OBi Voice Command via * <: Working better now.
6) Business 411 via ** <: Working better now.
7)
Lack of "Documentation" is still a major issue to implementing OBiEXTRAs.
My recommendation is that for now, don't activate OBiEXTRAs unless you have:
1) A spare OBi200 or OBi202.
2) You have "Premium Technical Support" active for the device.
3) A lot of time to wait for a solution to the issues.
