Just bought an OBI100 after checking all the 5 star reviews, in hopes of phasing out the land line.
After 4+ hours of installation agony, still having multiple problems:
1) Can't dial in from 2 cell lines and a land line in my house. Get a "temporarily out of service" message. Two of these lines initially worked to dial in. My buddy can dial in normally from his cell, no problems. Go figure.
2) My GV number, selected by zip code, is actually located in Palm Springs, CA, 100 miles from my house in "San Diego area (per my GV log). Toll charges would apply from my next door neighbor to my GV number. Not even close to what GV represented, and now they want $10 to change the number.
Other relevant info:
Outbound works OK.
Downloaded and installed GV plug-in, and set up new GV account, as instructed.
Set up OBITalk account and supposedly successfully conected to GV as SP1.
Tried most/all of the remedies for can't-receive-calls, as per forum suggestions...Checked "forward to chat," etc, etc.
Basically, I need to start over with the install and GV number, or return this device to the retailer, if only to make a point. Although I'd prefer to make it work.
Anyone from OBI out there who'd like to help me make this thing work and avoid a one star review.
Oh yeah, I'm a EE, and spend most of my life on a computer writing test programs, so I think that this is a legit tangle, and not a brain damage error.
Thx in advance.
