obi 202 setup
drgeoff:
Google Chat box must be ticked or your Obi will not receive the calls to that GV number.
MattLS:
That worked! Cant wait to play with this to see what all I can do with it.
I had forgot to mention that I had tried checking this box before but maybe it takes a few minutes to switch over.
Anyway it works now. So now to switch over the second number and say goodbye to my old SP!
Thank you!

Now waiting for 2nd number to port over to second GV account.
I have my 1st GV account (SP1 on the obi) set to outgoing/incoming phone 2, but I notice rings out as this number on line 1 and line 2. I assume this will correct itself once the 2nd number is ported and working? I already have SP2 setup and connected, just waiting on the porting to GV.
Many thanks for everyones help getting this setup. Its been fun and I've learned a few things. So far service is great. Way better than the Comcast I was paying way too much for...
When I purchased my obi I also bought a blue tooth dongle thing which plugs into usb the back of the obi. Can someone please give me a description of what this does? I already have the phone forwarded to my cell. So I am guessing that with an app I could make and receive calls without forwarding to my cell? any other features to the blue tooth?
Also how about the LAN port on the obi? Should this be active?

I don't understand what you mean, but no, the ring behavior is set on the OBiTALK portal, and will follow those settings. It is not going to magically fix itself when you set up the second number. If your phone(s) is/are not ringing as set on the portal, then you may have some sort of telephone cord/jack issue between the OBi and your phone(s). Log into the portal, look at the device's settings page, and ensure that you've selected the correct phones to ring.

As Robert already mentioned, the OBi Bluetooth dongle is used to attach either a cell phone (or a BT headset on the OBi IP phones). If you attach a cell phone via BT, then you can use it as another service provider, to make or answer cell phone calls from the OBi.

The LAN port on the OBi is controlled by the OBi's built-in router. It's used if you wish to connect other network devices downstream from the OBi (e.g. a computer or "internet of things" product). The OBi uses Quality of Service (QoS) technology to give itself priority over the downstream devices. However, the router performance of the OBi is limited, and I wouldn't recommend using its LAN port for your primary computing needs.
MattLS:
I made a mistake- it works fine since adding a SP2. Apparently if you don't have 2 SP's connected it just assigns the 1 SP to both phone 1 and phone 2 because before when I dialed out on either line it came up as the same number. At any rate it seems to be good now.
