Yes, we all were. What problem is it giving you? Just go to 'Add another phone' and put in the phone number that vestalink created for you.

Is your Vesta Link number properly set up? (Try calling it and see if it rings). If not, redo the Vesta Link set up process until it is.

I suspect I know what the problem is.

If you copy/pasted your number from Vesta Link you are putting in  (123) 456-7890

Try putting it in as:   +11234567890

log out, incognito, refresh obi, double check that you are forwarding to the correct number. Check that not forwarding to Google chat etc

After trying so many times.

Good to know.

I just set up the 30 day trial will see how that works.

I set up with Google voice that all incoming calls should be fwd to obivoice, and I spoofed my outgoing number.

Nice feature with ObiVoice - they have working called ID (That Google Voice did not support) Caller ID works even if the call is fwded from my Google Voice number!
did this work out well for you?
