Required $10/year upgrade to update Google Voice Config?

I have no idea what router you have so here is the generic that I used when I set mine up.

Once you find out your router model, you can do a google search for port forwarding on that specific model and apply those general rules.

Once you're done, make absolutely sure you remove your port forwarding.

Otherwise, expect your OBi to be hacked and used to place calls to expensive international destinations.  This may not be of concern with a free service, but is good practice.

I was able to fix the problem device remotely with some very careful hand-holding.

Now, I am curious about my own local device. It has not given me any trouble either last month or this month with losing connection on me and it still works fine as I type this, but it has version 2872 and I don't want to mess with it if I don't absolutely have to.

I do get the "warning" on my device page, but it shows "connected" so I can make calls.

1. Should I leave it alone until it chokes like most recent complaints or should I make it a priority to load 2886 even before it quits? Don't want to open a new can of worms.

2. Is there a reason my 2872 is not quitting, or is it just a matter of time and it hasn't hit me yet?

The only can of worms that will open is the one that will cause your device to stop working.  Just follow the instructions and get it over with.

I had the same issue everyone else had where my ObiTalk device configured with GV stopped working this morning and it said I needed to log into Obitalk to fix it.  I went to this part of the Obi site that has the latest firmware for their devices and I downloaded it and installed it and the device rebooted and now my home phone is working again.  I have the Obi200.

But to the larger point, they sold the device saying you only had to pay once and not reoccurring charges.  I don't expect to have to pay for support once a year either to get my device to work.  in this particular case, you can download the latest firmware yourself and install it without having to pay for extended support so please do don't that until you've tried this first.

 Can someone dumb this down for me?
My obi200/202 has run seamlessly since '12. It stopped working a few months ago. I tried to fix it when it went down 2 months ago by updating the firm ware. It has been unplugged for the last month and i am trying to get it running this week.
What number do i call to get the firm #?  I have looked at my dash board and can not find the #
When i call ***6 , It says "software update not available"


I so much need to get this resolved but am too cheap to spend 10 bucks

You've posted five years' worth of clueless questions.

Why should we continue to hand-hold with you if you can't take some time to read and figure things out, or pay the $10 for support?  Be considerate of what other people's time is worth.

Read and follow the instructions linked below, but instead of downloading the firmware file mentioned in the linked post, substitute this file:  http://fw.obihai.com/OBi202-3-1-0-5285.fw
