OBITalk.com Consumer Portal Closure Notification

[pete_c]

Noticed an email from OBITalk today. I am currently using my OBI box with Google Voice. It is working fine.

Good question. I have an Obi200 I think it is. Got it back when I was fooling with google voice calls and they shut down the earlier models. But I am just using the older Obi devices with a VOIP pay service. The lines don't get much use but it's only something like $1.50 per month. For other than google voice you should be able to configure directly to the device. Not sure but thinking any reconfiguration or setup of GV you may be out of luck. Would be interested to know.
