Crazy Ring patterns, Callerid always shows out of area for all calls?
Sandia505:
I recently ported my home number to my Google voice, I had a google voice number which I moved to SP2 and added my home number as SP1. My SP2 number is forwarded to my cell phones and my SP1 is primary phone. I also upgraded my 110 (which died) to a 200. I have set my local area code to 505.
2 things I dont understand and do not know how to fix:
1) Every call that comes into the SP1 number has a crazy ring pattern.
2) Every call that comes into the SP1 number show out of area (3 different callerid boxs made by different manufactures that used to work just fine on Century link)
Couple of comments, I never noticed "Out of Area" before when I was using the 110 and my original GV number. I also never noticed the crazy ring pattern. I have read that OBi changed the 200's calling name feature to sell their obextra features so the users would get the correct calling name info. ??? I guess if there is no way to get the correct caller name other then a subscription can I just set it to strictly provide the number?
Thanks,

GV doesn't supply name with caller ID. A generally accepted work around involves a free number from CallCentric which does send name with CID. https://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=3640.0
I'm new and am struggling with ring patterns on my OBI200, so can't help you on this one [yet...]

FireSQer,
Whats really strange about this is I didn't have a problem with either when I had my 110. I am half tempted to completely disassociate both SP's, do a factory reset on the 200 and try to build it back. I just am afraid I will make it worse. At least it now rings the phone and I can make calls on it :-[
What really surprises me is with all the experts that are on this forum (including the company that builds the OBI) that no answers have been posted! ???
Guess we will just have to keep our fingers crossed that the right person reads the post and knows the answers.

Ring patterns have been discussed many times on this forum. Each SP has a choice of ten different ring patterns. This post explains how to change them:

Change the following to be: Show Caller Number
Physical Interfaces -> Phone1 Port -> CidNoNameFormat:
You can only access this parameter from the local web GUI. (***1 from OBi phone to get ip address)
Default password for both User Name & Password is: admin
You must uncheck the box to the right of the field in order to edit the parm.
