How to get/setup a Google Voice US number (Thanks, ahoroba)
To get/setup a Google Voice US number, you need to access your Google account from a US internet address (Google checks your IP address so mask your Canadian IP address using programs like Hola etc), and you must also have access to a US phone number to receive the verification code (call or SMS) from Google. These are one-time steps; once you get your Google Voice US number, you can use it anywhere in the world. There are various tricks you could use from Canada to trick Google into giving you a Google Voice US number (US proxies, an amerifriend, phone forwarding services, etc.). I remember getting my first Google Voice US number several years ago by crossing the border for 20 minutes into US at Niagara Falls, using a McDonald's free WIFI and waiting for the verification call at a public payphone!!!
On obitalk.com, you will find instructions on how to configure Google Voice VOIP service on your OBI device, with or without having your own Google Voice US number. Without your own Google Voice US number, Google Voice will still allow you to place free outgoing calls to US/Canada, but the recipient of your call will see a random Caller ID assigned from Google's bank of reusable numbers (California area codes mostly).
