Porting number to Google voice?? OBi-100...?

[Mushkie10]

Hey all, So I bought the OBi-100, transferred my home phone to a ATT Go Phone, after a week tried to transfer it to GV, I'm getting a message that GV doesn't currently support my area, but that's BS because my cellphone (same area) they would transfer. Any Ideas? Comments? Anybody else ran into the same wall?

Also ppl happy with the Obi-100 connected to GV? (I connected it in the meanwhile, using the number GV assigned me)
1.The caller ID is some random number?
2. It takes a second after people pick up for my end to start...
3. I cant punch in extensions??? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out here....

That's good to know, as I just ported my # to ATT Go Phone, so at least there is a fall back option if GV doesn't work out for me

or port to page plus...search the forums here there is a post on how to do it. Also any issues you have with the obi- the forums on their site are very helpful. Are you sure you have it set to chat only? I have the obi for about a year with almost no problems.
