Obi 1062 Intercom
kayrjay:
Thank you ... I'd like to try that. I was told that I had to have support from my VOIP provider for this function, but perhaps not, since you are making calls over the OBITalk network, it looks like. Are you able to do barging without support for the "Busy Lamp Field"? See below ... and thanks again!
I asked the following of OBI:
I am trying to enable barging among my 4 1062s. I want to allow any of the 4 1062s to barge
into an active call on any of the others. None is a "manager" or "agent", as it is a residential
application.
They said:
You will need to configure a Line key with Busy Lamp Field function to monitor other phone, for
one phone to monitor other three, you will need to set up three different Busy Lamp Field keys.
Once the monitor is working, you can enable the X_BlfBargeIn, X_BlfCallPickup or
X_BlfDirectedCallPickup under SPx Service.
Most importantly, it requires your service provider to support it as well.
Unfortunately, my VOIP provider does not support the SIP SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY packets required for the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) feature.

When I try the *96 deal, I enter the other extension, which apparently does barge in, but it seems to put the incoming call on hold. That is, when I barge into a call that my wife is on in her office, she hears me and I hear her, but the call she was/is on is not part of our two-way conversation. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
kayrjay:
I think I know why this doesn't work ... I was trying to barge into a conversation between my wife and an incoming caller who was NOT using the OBITalk network. Since the incoming call was on a different VOIP service, I could not barge in.
Darn.
I wonder if there would be a way to forward calls from my VOIP provider to OBITalk so that all incoming calls seemed to come from an OBITalk phone? Then barging might work ... but no doubt I wouldn't have the functionality that the VOIP provider gives me ...
Oh well.

@kayrjay
Have you considered what I pointed you to in your other thread?
kayrjay:
I don't have the time right now to install a PBX. And it sounds more complicated than I want to deal with. But thanks for the suggestion.
