Use GV to call out

(1/2) > >>

FusionStudio:
Is there a way to use the Call link within the GV page to make outgoing calls and have it connect to the obitalk phone? Can't figure it out!

SteveInWA:
You can't do that directly.

However:  you can add an actual VoIP telephone number to your OBi, add it to Google Voice as a forwarding phone number, and then forward inbound calls to the VoIP number instead of to Google Chat.

This will add the telephone number to your drop-down list of choices when setting up a bridged call using Google Voice with the red CALL button.

FusionStudio:
Thanks so much for the reply. So - the only number I have is the GoogleVoice number - so - I guess I can't do use the call links within google voice to connect to the landline phone that is connected to the obitalk device. is that right?

SteveInWA:
Yes, you can use the phone connected to the OBi.  But, you need a forwarding phone number.  Get a free inbound telephone number from Callcentric.  Add that number as SP2 on your OBi.  Add it as a forwarding phone number on Google Voice.  Remove the check mark next to Google Chat.  Now, inbound calls will route through Callcentric and ring on your OBi-attached phone.  The Callcentric number will appear as a calling target number when you instruct Google Voice to call your phone.

FusionStudio:
thanks a ton steve. damn this is confusing! the only free number i see with callcentric for receiving calls says coverage is only in parts of ny state... is that the one I want?!
