Not sure what happened but the Obi started working, the power light turned solid green. This is with the OBI connected to the internet port thru my Ethernet switch as I originally configured. When I dial **9 222222222 I get the welcome to the OBiTalk network message.
Do you have a OBI number I could call you on as a test. My OBi number 500 172 138
Now I am trying to connect my Google Voice number to the OBi. More grief. I Go to the "add OBI device, dial the number it indicates, get the message "number sent to the server". Then it sits doing nothing until it times out. Tries several times with the same result.
The echo test number is an Obi number. If that works no need to test another one.
Failure of the **5 nnnn procedure is currently, and has been for months, a very common occurrence. Obihai are aware but for whatever reason seem unable to fix it. Their advice is to keep trying and many posters report eventual success though it can take many, many attempts.
I suggest you approach GV configuration in two stages. Do not tick the "I want to use .... Google Voice ..." box. Just work on getting your OBi added to your dashboard at
obitalk.com. Once that is achieved, your GV account can be linked as a second step.
Fortunately once your GV number is working with your OBi, the flakey Obihai servers are not involved in making or receiving GV calls.
