Multiple Google Accounts?
penguinjeff:
I'm new to OBitalk.
I just setup one on Friday. It works good. Much, much clearer than magicjack.
But I have to use it a little differently then I used my magicjack.
I use to have my cell number ring the magicjack a few times then stop ringing the magicjack.
My cell number is on Google so I can not use my other account's google number because I can not have a google number forward to another google number.
I set my Obitalk 200 SP1 up with my alternate google voice number (a second account I have for my computer to text me with).
I just now set my Obitalk 200 SP2 to my Cell number but am not sure what this will do or if this is what I even want. I'm looking for what the SP2, SP3, SP... are for and how they can be used. Maybe some kind of rule set I can use with them?
lrosenman:
on my 202, I have the following:
SP1: My google Account
SP2: Vitelity (for old house land line DID)
SP3: Wifes Google Account
SP4: Asterisk Extension (does my CNAM (Caller-ID Name) Lookup)
and all of them ring BOTH phone ports (actually, the 2 GV account hook through Asterisk, and get a CID Prefix for which one is being called).
What exactly are you trying to do?
penguinjeff:
I think I figured out how to set a different ring tone for my cell number vs the home number if it works at all. I'll try it when I get home. I'll call from my wife's phone to my phone and if it rings the phone plugged into the OBi200 then it works. I don't know if the ring tones will differ; I may need a different phone for that.
Now I'm curious if I can use a star code for using my second service provider to make outgoing calls.
If dialing my cell phone works and has a different ringtone I'll attach my wife's to it as well. Then I'd want another star code to use her number outbound.
Irosenman:
Sounds like you have the 202? I only have one phone port unless does the 200 have the second line (shaking from excitement looking immediately after this post)
Do you need the Asterisk to do the Caller id?
I have a linux server what would I need (hardware wise) to setup asterisks and how do you figure what number was dialed.
In the past you had to buy a special card to use Asterisk, as such I never got really that into it.
If I can set it up with what I have I'd like to see how you did it. I'm guessing you can do it all through ip now a days.
How do you setup the Obi device to forward caller info to the Asterisk. (which I guess you have looking up the info and sending it to the phone?)
What did you need to do on the Obi side of things.
I'm guessing somehow you point the obi using SIP of some sort at an internal ip only you can see?
lrosenman:
Yes, I have a 202.
I use a setup from MichiganTelephone (no longer on the Net, since Obi started charging for stuff).
I'll pull my config when I get home and post for you.
The asterisk server just is doing SIP (it's running on a RaspberryPI 2, using pbxinaflash.com's incrediblepbx / Asterisk 13).
The info is passed via the SIP headers.
penguinjeff:
Nice, nice. :-) If I had the 202 I'd buy phones that supported two lines and use a splitter (like so http://www.showmecables.com/product/telephone-splitter-rj11-jack-to-dual-rj11-l1-l2.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2979&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2979&gclid=CM7g3IiQkcoCFQ8yaQodoroACQ) to combine the lines then you could answer them on that specific line and have an open line. Hell I might just do this as I would know what line was dialed a lot easier. Hmm
