When Obi/GV has the last outage after some change that GV made I started using my smartphone with GV Wifi calling and a Bluetooth headset. However, the Obi is a fully functional SIP gateway that you can use with other providers, like Callcentric, but they are not free. Worst case would be that you have to configure the Obi from scratch.Īs far as GV working on the Obi long term: Polycom does not seem to be interested in continuing the Obi products or keeping up with GV changes. I have no idea what is required to change the Obi for a new GV number/Gmail address. You might have to reconfig if you change the GV number/Gmail address. That is just a setting in the GV app or account. Ringing your cellphone with the GV app or by GV forwarding to the native cell number has noting to do with the Obi. That is the part that I am worried about messing up, since I don't know how that part is set up. It also rings on my cell phone, which is typically more convenient for me to answer. Right now, if someone calls my home phone (the Google Voice number), it rings on a cordless phone by my router. There is also an option on the device configuration screen to replace Google Account credentials. I am not sure of the order that these things need to be done or the procedure to do them, however.Īdditional information: When I log into obitalk, there is an option to edit profile, which allows users to change the login email address. I assume that I would have to unassociate the obi200 with the old Gmail account and remove the obi200 as a device from Google Voice first and then reassociate them after I moved the Google Voice number to the new Gmail account. I just don't know what I need to do to get the obi200 to work with the new Gmail account once the Google Voice number is moved there. I do know how to transfer a Google Voice number to a different Gmail account. Since I don't know what else this person associated my email account with and since Credit Karma wouldn't reassign that Gmail address to my account even though I can send/receive messages from it, I have decided to change my Gmail address. I am not sure how my Gmail account became associated with someone else's Credit Karma account online. I also have access to the obitalk account. I have access to the original Gmail account that the Google Voice number is registered with. So you do or do not have access to the original gmail account the number is currently registered with?
I don't want to start the transfer process unless I know how to finish it. I just don't know what I need to do next if I do that. I would like to continue using the Obi200 for as long as possible, so I don't want to mess this up.Ĭan anyone walk me through what needs to be done? I can transfer the google voice number to another gmail account, which I already created. In Google Voice settings, the Obi device is currently associated with my Google Voice account.Īlso, I do know that the Obi200 is end of life, and that it may not work starting in December 2023.
How does changing the email address associated with the Google Voice number affect the Obi200? I don't remember how I associated the device with my google voice account, since that happened a long time ago. I know that I can transfer my Google voice number to the new gmail account. I have now set up a new gmail account due to someone else using my email address. Years ago I purchased an Obi200 and paid to port my home number into Google Voice.
