Anyone got RingPlus working on their OBi?
Taoman:
I was aware of RingPlus on the cellular side of things. I didn't know R+ also supports SIP connectivity (FluidCall) which got me curious. I have read on the R+ support forums that some people have connected their OBi successfully.
I have been able to register with R+ with no problem. I can also receive incoming calls just fine. However, I cannot get outgoing calls to actually ring the called party's phone. When I try and make an outgoing call it connects immediately and I hear the R+ radio ads as I should. The called party's phone is supposed to ring while the caller hears the radio ads but this isn't happening (although it does work when using cell phone). I get a SIP error code of 480 (Temporarily Unavailable). I get the same results with both my OBi and PhonerLite. I can register and receive calls just fine but outbound calls never complete.
Has anyone got this working successfully?
Note: If anyone wants to try this (and you have a spare Sprint,Boost,Virgin compatible phone) you can sign up for the Truly Free 2 plan which is truly free and gives you 125 minutes/month.

Thanks for the guide. Actually, outgoing calls just magically started working for me a couple days ago. I'm actually rather impressed with the sip call quality. And I finally changed my radio station to classical so now I just hear classical music on outgoing calls........much nicer.
I got in on the members+ deal and the eternity plan. Unlimited incoming/outgoing for life (no doubt the "life" of RingPlus). Just wish I could get a plan that included tethering on my cell. My neighborhood semi-regularly gets power outages that last 2 or 3 days after a wind storm and tethering would come in handy.

I was looking around on the Rinplus website today because I am about to upgrade my phone and I clicked a link. I then saw I had a sip username/password. Of course I had to plug those into my Obi. A few minutes later and I made a call. I don't know how I will use this exactly but I plan to mess around with it and see if it's useful.
Now I have all kinds of other questions that I will need to answer. like for instance can I forward sip calls directly to my sip address? I'm going to have to do a lot of playing around to see just what is possible. Since I already have this hooked to my Obi I will also have to test out NomoRobo. This should be fun.

You can call a ringplus sip address directly. I will not list this under the good or bad category just yet. There is definitely some possibility of abuse from robo sip dialers but I have not experienced anything like that(no strange numbers have called me). This does at least allow us to forward calls using the OBI directly to a Ringplus cellphone for free. It also allows us to link a free Inum to our phones although that system is really dying out so far as I can tell.
The most useful thing about the ability to ring the SIP address directly (that I can think of right now) is that friends an family members abroad can call you for free using a sip phone. That will ring the cellphone directly with no special software or setup on your part.
Format XXXxxxXXXX= your 10 digit ringplus number.
