Is it true that outgoing calls will continue to work after Google shuts off GV?

Is it true that outgoing calls will continue to work after Google shuts off GV?  (or just incoming?) 

I thought I read something like that somewhere in this forum... but can't remember what it said exactly.

Thanks!

Inbound calls will still work as long as you forward your GV number to another phone number. For outbound, you will have to find another provider. CircleNet is perfect for that.

Well,.... the best bet would be,..

instead of buying any service and paying 36+ dollars a year, and onwards the same,..
rather buy an another obi110 ( when ring.to service is free and active ) from e-bay auction
at a seller auction price of around 25-28 dollars

Google has not mentioned anything about shutting off GV.

The only thing that is supposedly changing is Obi direct access to GV via XMPP.

Google Voice is still the same as it ever was.

Also, outbound calls will still work if you use the GV web portal. So that's not going away either.

My experience thus far has been that I can make outgoing calls with no problem. Frankly, if I had to choose, I would have wished for the outgoing to be what stopped.

I found out by accident the other day, however, that the calls are still coming in, they simply don't ring.

I have my Google Voice number forwarded to my cell phone, but I also still have it forwarded to Google Chat (as used for the Obi110). A call with a client yesterday was dropped due to my cellphone's poor reception, so I picked up the phone connected to my Obi110 to call her back, and she was on the line.

To confirm, when she called again later in the day, when my cellphone rang I picked up the non-ringing phone connected to my Obi110 and answered her with no problem.

If your phone on the OBi isn't ringing something is wrong with your OBi, its configuration, or your phone.
