Further: accessing Obi's Auto Attendant from another phone?
azrobert:
Trusted Caller is an OBi function, so you can use any number. When you use Trusted Caller, OBiTalk will automatically configure your OBi. If you're interested, I can show you where to see the code and how to configure your device with OBi Expert. You have more flexibility when you manually configure. If you use a foreign number to call your GV number, won't you be charged for international call?
You can install Google Hangouts on your smart phone and make GV calls directly. If you have an Android, you also need the Hangouts Dialer. I never used Hangouts from a foreign country, but it should work.
Alternately, you can install an SIP softphone on your phone and connect to the Auto Attendant with an SIP call at no charge (except for data charges).

Step 1: Log into your OBiTALK account, and click "Trusted Callers" on the left side of the page.Step 2: Add the phone number(s) from which you want to call into your OBi and click the Save Changes button.Step 3: Using the "call from" phone number, call any of the telephone numbers configured on the SPx slots on your OBi. The OBi attached phone will ring once, and then you will hear the AA voice prompt, from which you can press 2 to make an outbound call, and then enter your PIN and # (be sure to set a PIN on OBiTALK!). The call will use your default SPx for outbound calls, or you can enter ** followed by the SPx number, to use one of your other SPx services to make the call.
Step 4: There is no step 4; that's all you need to do.

Thank you, SteveInWA, AzRobert, and Steve56. As it turns out then, the answer I was looking for in Reply #2 was "yes". Not having a 3rd phone around, I couldn't test any alternatives, but your combined expertise brought out the "yes". I'll give it a try when I can borrow a friend's phone, enter that number on my Trusted Caller List, and see if I can call in directly to the Obi Auto Attendant and bypass the GV answering system.

Just to confirm what azrobert said, I did this while in Italy on my iPhone. I had Hangouts installed already and made calls within Italy for about 3c/min I think.
