GV MWI and Text Message snip on Caller ID?

[CoalMinerRetired]

It has not been asked in a while, and I've been intermittently (but mostly) absent, so here goes:

For an OBi202, or OBI2xxx in general:

- Do we know of any plans for OBI to make the GV MWI light and stutter dial tone work with GV, like they used to?

- Do we know of any plans to make the first few characters of a received GV text message appear in a handset's Caller ID, like it used to work?

I think that capability went away with the implementation of the OAuth2 authentication protocol for GV. I would think if that was even a possibility they would have included it in their OBiEXTRAS add-on product. Since they didn't, I would think the chances are slim to none.

Whoa. I've never even heard of this let alone seen it. Could you elaborate on how this "used to work?" Would the OBi connected phone actually ring when the text came in or would it just appear with no other kind of notification?

That is very old firmware.  The text message feature is no longer supported.
