New Obi202 Installation
drgeoff:
Are you sure the factory reset happened? Which method did you use?
AndrewA:
Hi. I used the paperclip method. I held it down until the light went Red, and then released it. At that point the system reset itself.

I cannot reconcile that with the instructions in the FAQ:
1. With a paper clip (or similar) depress the reset pin located at the bottom of the OBi.
2. While keeping the reset pin depressed, plug-in the power cord.
First, the Power LED will turn red, then become sold green.
Keep depressing the reset pin while this is occurring.
3. After 10 seconds, the Power LED will start to flash green (slowly).
You may now release the reset pin.
4. Within 5 seconds, the Power LED will start to flash green rapidly for about 3 seconds.
5. Next the Power LED will change to red briefly indicating the OBi is now rebooting.

I followed this method, and it still does this. I have even changed the settings within my router to fix this.

Even without the factory reset OBi202 being plugged in to your router you should be able to dial the complete **9 222 222 222 before getting a tone.
If you cannot, then either the 202 is faulty or is not configured to defaults or see edit below*. A factory reset should return it to defaults. However if someone has previously had this unit, registered it on the portal and used the portal to configure it to a non-standard use of the **9 prefix and then returned it to Amazon, that non-standard setting will be downloaded back into the OBi every time it boots if it has an internet connection back to Obihai's server. What happens if you do the reset and dial **9 222 222 222 without connecting the 202 to your router?
Have you any suspicion that this might have been a returned unit? For example was the lead on the PSU not neatly wound up and secured with a wire-twist with no sign of having been undone and retwisted.
Used or faulty, it looks like you need to get back to Amazon.
*Edit: Any possibility that the phone you are using is faulty and not sending the correct digit tones? Can you try with another phone? Make sure the phone is plugged directly into the 202's PHONE port and not via any house wiring.
