This is actually not too new. I have owned one of their devices for quite a while (a couple of years?) and found this recent press release somewhat surprising.

I originally bought the device because of its advertised Google Voice support. It is the only service I have used with the device. Earlier this year they announced that Google would discontinue XMPP support on May 15 and Google Voice would stop working. Almost 4 months later there has been no interruption in service and they are now re-announcing support. Strange...

No complaints from me though!

Hmm... that happened to me as well. I went ahead and switched to Phone Power (Obihai recommended) which was around $40 a year.

Turns out this is one of those times procrastination would have been a good thing.

Can I use GV on my softphone yet? Has anyone figured out how this is being done?

You can use it on your Android phone with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... - and I think FreeSWITCH has unofficial/hacky support for it (haven't tried) which would allow you to use it on like SIP supporting things

I think this confirms that "Google Voice is not dead" as many people have suspected.
