发帖数: 1792 | 1 THIS IMPORTANT SERVICE CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT IS BEING SENT TO ALL USERS OF
SIMON TELEPHONICS GOOGLE VOICE GATEWAY.
You may have read that in late April, Google announced that they will be
discontinuing XMPP Interop with Google Voice. See our news posting at
://simonics.com/2018/05/future-of-google-voice-gateway/>. Since that time,
we have worked on an updated Google Voice Gateway implementation that would
allow us to connect to Google using their new SIP-based protocol. From late
May to mid-June, we ran a beta test of this new software to find bugs and
determined that it would be suitable for production.
On Sunday, June 24, we attempted to put the new software into production. A
serious problem was uncovered at this point related to the large number of
accounts we are registering to Google Voice. On Tuesday, the system was
rolled back and we studied the problem. Unfortunately, what we found was a
very large increase of computing resources needed in order to support the
new platform at production scale. We attempted some optimizations, but the
problems are fundamental to the VoIP engine, and the resource requirements
to run the new platform are not sustainable.
With regrets, I am announcing the discontinuation of Google Voice Gateway at
the time when Google fully discontinues their XMPP interop. This was slated
to begin on June 18, so we expect that the remaining time is short--perhaps
another week. Thank you to all of you who have supported this service over
its 6+ year history.
Accounts should be working at this time using the Google Chat (XMPP)
connections. If you are not receiving calls, please see the post by me on
this forum thread:
3000170148/page/3>.
Users looking to continue service with Google Voice using regular phones
should consider the Obihai 2xx, 10xx, and 2xxx series phones, or use the new
Google Voice app for Android (wi-fi calling).
Again, thank you for a good run with the Google Voice Gateway.
Sincerely,
Bill Simon
