I would recommend posting in this thread instead for FPL issues: merged-freephoneline-ca-free-local-soft ... ip-821229/
I do recommend using the Obitalk portal for initial setup until newcomers get things working the way they want to, especially if they plan on using Google Voice. After you're comfortable and setup properly, stop using the portal.
1)The easiest way to setup a VoIP account on an Obihai ATA is to visit http://www.obitalk.com/obinet/
2)Then create an account/register.
3)Then add your Obihai ATA to the portal.
4)Then click the SP# (for FPL use SP1) you wish to configure.
5)Then scroll down the page and select the "next" button for "Obitalk Compatible Service Provider" (you will have to pay for a VoIP service, unless you have a Google Voice phone number).
6)Click "Accept" on the 911 pop up window.
7)Select "freephoneline" from the list.
8)If you're using Freephoneline for 911 service, then ensure "Use This Service for Emergency 911 Calls" is selected.
9)Fill in Username and Password (provided by FPL after logging in at https://www.freephoneline.ca/showSipSettings; SIP Usename and SIP password).
10) Click "save"
correctI was reviewing your post and saw that it seems that one can go thru obitalk or IP address but not both.
They only charge $10 USD for updating firmware via the Obitalk web portal outside of your warranty period (and if you to email or call them for technical support outside of the warranty period). That's it. There's two other ways of updating firmware.Since obitalk.com seems to ask for $10 (eventually outside of my warranty period) I would want perhaps to start to do manually.
You can still use the web portal to do whatever you want, after updating firmware, outside of the warranty period.
