Good evening.

My Gizmo5 connections went dark at approximately 2130 EDT last evening.

R.I.P. Gizmo5. We loved you while you lived.

Good evening, Nugrl.

Hi Lisa! I sent you a link to another post I think you should read

I've completed my review of the thread to which you sent me a link as well as my initial recommendation for a configuration to try and resolve the intermittent performance problems you've reported with ...

Good morning, Nugrl.

Please confirm the basics of your network architecture for me. I'm guessing that you have a Comcast-supplied cable modem/router going into the Ethernet WAN port on your E3000, is that correct?
**Yes, that is correct. It is a Comcast-supplied cable modem Arris WBM760 ...

Nugrl:

Okay, a couple of things. Why would you need to reserve a DHCP address if you're segmenting the NetTalk Duo box into its own DMZ network?

Also, I encountered an issue with reserving IP addresses within a DHCP range on the E3000. You may want to consider abandoning reserving a DHCP ...

lcompton

Nugrl:

One more thing I just noticed...

Reserved the IP address of the NT Duo - click on DHCP Reservation on the Basic Setup page of the router, and I manually added the Client. Entered the client name Nettalk, and reserved the IP address for the Nettalk using the NT Duo's MAC address.

DMZ ...

@lcompton Hi Lisa! I am glad to hear your E3000 is working out for you. I have read so many others had no problems with it either, that is what prompted me to buy that one. I guess its just Murphy's Law with me... :oops: I would like to try the Obi. I guess if I were to get one, I would go ...

Good evening, nugrl.

<snip!>I even went out and bought a new router, got the Linksys E3000, because I thought perhaps after all the crap I have had to put up with, that maybe it was the router.

For what it's worth, I upgraded to the Linksys E3000 last summer. It has performed flawlessly for me ...

I'm not positive, but it appears that GoogleVoice may now be free into the foreseeable future. It appears that they have dropped the "free through 2011" line in their cost topic:

Obihai is calling this a maintenance release of 1.2. Unfortunately, Obihai is not disclosing what changes were made in this maintenance release . :(

Okay, here's what appears to be fixed with this maintenance release (build 2102) .

I've upgraded my two OBi110's and they appear to ...

lcompton

Good morning, Joe.

WOW way cool. Did you update?? I hate to do a firmeware update without knowing what it was for. If I do not have the problem(s) the update is supposed to fix, I usually pass on the update.

Yes, I did update my OBi110's.

EDIT: I just checked on my phone if I needed an update ...

Good evening.

Obihai cut a maintenance release of the firmware for the OBi110 on 1 April 2011. You can download version 1.2.0 build 2102 here .

Good afternoon, nailgunner.

I haven't done any testing with magicJack in ages, but I'm pretty confident that you're going to find the inbound ANI of calls forwarded from magicJack to Google Voice will display so you will have correct caller ID information. :)

I just did a quick test and had ...

Joe:

Lisa I am sure there are some people here who would be willing to buy your 110's and if not here maybe locally on Craigslist or even on Ebay..

Disposing of the OBi110's is more trouble than it's worth. I'd have to buy the OBi100's first so I wouldn't have any down-time (Gizmo5 is supposed ...

lcompton

Good afternoon, Joe.

I went for a OBi100 since I don't need the FXS port ( thanks Lisa :)

Happy to help! :)

I wish I could trade in my OBi110's for a pair of OBi100's. :(

Good luck with the setup!

It should be be here tomorrow. I will forward my MJ calls to the OBi ( GV#). I just hope the ...

Good evening, synchron:

Sipsorcery has this neat feature where all calls, whether or not they are completed or unanswered, are logged as a Full SIP transaction and sent to the email of your choice. Whether this can be done with XMPP, I don't know and I guess I will need to investigate. I'm not ...

Good evening, Joe.

WOW so maybe then the OBi100 is the latest Obama cash for VOIP scheme huh?? :)

Thank you for the info now I just need a kick in the butt to spend money I don't have right now.. BUT it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempting...

You're starting to sound like a whiner. First, you want ...

Joe:

Hey Lisa is the OBi100 the EXACT same thing as the OBi110, just sans telco port?? Only 44 bucks on Amazon BUT unless someone tells me it works JUST as well as the 110 ( because they tried it) I am not ready to pull the trigger on it.

The OBi100 is the nanny-state version of the OBi110. When ...

Good afternoon, synchron.

Lisa, I'm convinced that Google will not catch on and block the Obi anytime soon. <snip (I hope it didn't hurt!)>

From your lips to my ears. I certainly hope you're right. I'm enjoying my awesomely neat free telephone service that just got better without Gizmo5 holding ...

Good evening, sabresfan.

The $3.50 or so a month doesn't bother me for 911 and taxes. I was thinking about getting the Obi but already have an ata and a couple of ways to make GV calls for free. My TK outgoing caller id shows as my GV number (got this back when they would change this for users), I ...

Ooma Telo's on sale today http://www.woot.com/ I picked one up. Altogether it cost $145 with shipping. I figured I needed a new toy to play around with. Once I get it up and running I will put my MJ, TK and Telo to the test and compare them. Currently both MJ and TK give ...

That's nice. But, it has nothing what-so-ever to do with the problem I'm experiencing with my Verizon Wireless telephone being unable to leave a message at one of my Google Voice numbers.

OK. I AM able to leave voicemail on GV from my Verizon phone. I thought perhaps it might be because ...

lcompton

Dennis:

@lcompton: I also have a Verizon cellphone. What I did was not use GV to check email directly via the cellphone but GV is set to ring the cell. Instead I set the phone (on Verizon's system) to forward to the GV number after 4 rings.

When my GV number is called both my Obi110 and Verizon ...

Good afternoon.

I tested three-way conference calling this afternoon with the OBi110 and Google Voice. It functions like a dream. Here are the steps:
Call your first party,
Press Flash once and listen for dial tone,
Call your second party, and
Press Flash again and enjoy your chat with both ...

Good afternoon!

Preliminary testing indicates that the message waiting indicator functions, but listening to new voicemail on Google Voice did not clear the message waiting indicator on the OBi-attached telephones. This requires further investigation, but it very well could be a bug in the ...

lcompton

Good morning.

Okay, the new firmware is loaded and here's what I'm seeing:

If you want the message waiting indicator to function, the firmware alone won't make that happen. You'll need to enable two settings in the service profiles associated with the Google Voice accounts. The settings are ...

lcompton

Good morning!

I've been continuing my experiments and research on the OBi110 and I discovered some interesting things:

First, the OBi-attached telephone can directly dial and access Google Voice mail without the need for a PIN. This is interesting to me because it seems to work regardless of how ...

Dennis:

This is very nice. Where is the 911 mapping in the dial plan? I'm not seeing it.

The outbound call routing is done in the phone port DigiMap under 'Physical Interfaces'. From what I read in the config manual, 911 is by default routed to the line port. The dial plan I posted allows 911 ...

On a sad note, you just know Google is going to kill this solution. It's just too easy and functions too well to be free. If we were in an office together (and weren't busy killing each other) I'd start an OBi110<->Google Voice demise pool. Five dollars per square and you get to pick the ...

I noticed that Amazon's price for the OBi110 has jumped from $50 to $85 and that is the Amazon price not a third party. Glad I got mine when they were $50 but still great device even at $85.
