Could I recommend that somewhere in the "create a google voice account" section that you include this tidbit (preferably in bold) that shows up later on in the instructions? It’s kind of critical to find out about this before you create an account.

Username is your Google Voice account name without @gmail.com. NOTE: You must use a Gmail.com address in the current version of this module!

I created a google voice account with a non gmail.com address and now have to wait up to 5 days for the number to transfer since I scored a very specific number I don’t want to lose. Here’s the link to transfer numbers in the event someone else runs into this:

I tried the code change for having GV take the voice message if no answer.
Doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Inbound call to the GV number forwarding to PIAF rings the extension, and PIAF takes the message. I am sure I am missing something. Ideas?

Hi, Ward,
I just installed this version of Incredible PBX (I have been using ARM and router Asterisk for some time before I come back to it for experiment Skype.) Everything works fine except I didn’t hear anything (no rings, no waiting announcement) before the other side start speaking. Is this normal? Can I add some sound so I know it is still connecting? Thanks.

[WM: Head to the forum for the fix.]

I only want to use the dial out features of google voice. I have a SIP account to receive calls. My SPA3102 has gateway setup where I could configure 4 GWs and dial out. My old asterisk (tomato router) extensions were dialing out fine using the GW (no register) but I can not get it to work with this setup. Any thoughts? (I get the engaged tone when I dial. If I register and dial normally every thing works. But the I want the phone to register with my SIP provider). [WM: You might want to try out the upcoming Version 2. :-) ]

Ward,

Is this enough of a system to power IncrediblePBX?

[WM: For home or SOHO use, absolutely.]

Would you please consider adding les.net as builtin provider to future incredible?

[WM: Absolutely. les.net is a terrific provider.]

Is it possible to have the incrediblepbx setup without GV Account?. Where I live, we don’t have GV. Thank You.

[WM: Sure. Just make up any credentials you like and adjust the outbound route to utilize any hosting provider you like. Several including Vitelity and VoIP.ms are already included. Just plug in your credentials.]

I have opted for PIAF-Bronze for a production system. Will the Incredible PBX 1.8 script work??

wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblepbx18.x

Can I run Asterisk 1.4.41 taking into account the differences in Google Voice set up?

Or, is there a separate Incredible PBX script for PIAF-Bronze?

[WM: It’s no longer recommended or supported because of the dual-call requirement in Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6.2, but the incrediblepbx.x script is still available for download from IncrediblePBX.com.]

On the "$269 Dual-Core Atom PC", it doesn’t have a CD drive. Can you install from a USB thumb drive (how big?) or do you have to have an External USB CD drive?

I do have the same problem like Don.
"I’m following the instructions but keep getting “GLIBCXX_3.4.9 not found errors”. "

I haven´t found a solution for this. Can someone help us out?

For stability, PBX in a Flash has been backrevved to Asterisk 1.8.3.3 for new PIAF-Purple installs. See this thread for the steps to load Asterisk 1.8.4 if you really want to be a pioneer and don't own or use Cisco 79XX phones.

Does GV support multiple channels or just a single channel?

[WM: As many as you like. 🙂 ]

Ward — Thanks for the great work. Very nice.
That said, I’m running to trouble installing skype. I’m following the instructions but keep getting "GLIBCXX_3.4.9 not found errors". Anyone else have this problem?

A bug has been reported in Asterisk 1.8.4 that prevents Cisco phones from registering. The PIAF Dev Team has released a fix for those with Cisco phones. Other phones do not appear to be affected.

PIAF 1.7.5.6.1 contains Asterisk 1.8.3.3? You mention 1.8.4? Is there a newer PIAF?

[WM: PIAF ISOs and payloads are separate. The ISO only installs CentOS 5.6. Then you get a choice of payloads featuring 4 different flavors of Asterisk. The Purple payload is almost always the latest and greatest version of Asterisk 1.8. As of yesterday, that means new PIAF-Purple installs will load Asterisk 1.8.4. For earlier installs, you can run update-source to bring your Asterisk release current.]
