Accessing the call log remotely
ianobi:
The OBiTALK network is "transparent" as far as CallerID and Cname is concerned. The PSTN CallerID calling into the remote OBi will show as Peer Number in the US OBi. Then it can be used for call routing purposes or simply to display on the attached phone.

I read somewhere that the second OBI would show both the PSTN caller ID and the number of the sending OBI, but I am not sure if that's true.
The second OBi will only show the PSTN CallerID received by the first OBi. It will not show the number of the sending OBi.

If there is a PC or Mac or Linux box in that network, you could have TeamViewer loaded on it. Then from anywhere you can access the remote computer, go to a browser and access the Obi directly.
I am playing with a Remix Mini (a cheap android computer) that also can run TeamViewer.

Hi Ian,
Based on your suggestions I wanted to fork the PSTN call on the remote OBI in Europe to both my cell phone in the US and to my OBI in US. That way I thought I could receive the European call on my cell phone, and at the same time I expected to see the European caller ID in the call history of my US OBI. My US OBI is only used to let me see the caller ID of the European PSTN callers.
So, I connected OBI here in US and I set the European OBI like this:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : {PP(ob200xxxxxx),SP1(11234567890)}
where 200xxxxxx is my US OBI number and 11234567890 is my US cell phone number.
Now, when somebody in Europe makes the PSTN call to the European OBI, I receive the call on my US cell phone (as I wanted), but this call is not recorded in the call history of my US OBI. I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Thanks again,
Milos

I would expect your US OBi Call History to record the call as ringing, but not connected if answered by your US cell phone. I wonder what the European OBi Call History is showing?
Did you really want to make the calls from Europe direct to your US cell phone. You could use the OBiTALK network to route the call to the US for free, then connect it through your US OBi:
Use the European OBi to forward the call to the US OBi:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute :
{PP(ob200xxxxxx)}
Then use the US OBi to call its own phone and fork the call on to your US cell phone:
Voice Services > OBiTALK Service > InboundCallRoute:
{ph,sp1(11234567890)}
or {sp1(11234567890)} if you do not want the US OBi phone to ring.
This assumes that you have GV or a SIP provider configured on sp1 of the US OBi.
