max number of simultaneous sessions / rings / devices?
jentzd:
Well, STUN didn't help. Tried it with a self verified public stun server, couldnt get passed 6 devices working at once.
X_PublicIPAddress didn't help. I'd think having this would be a bigger help than STUN.
Going to skip KeepAlive for now.
A bit hesitant to use simonics for 2 reasons: - would have to give simonics my gv password, not familiar with simonics enough to know if they will be around 24/7.
next im going to try using a master obi device to convert to sip, and then have other phones use sip.
ive changed incoming call route before, and forwarded, etc, but it does not show which line the call is being forwarded..

You don't give Simonics your GV password any more than you give Obihai your password. OAuth 2 (token based) authentication is used. You simply have to be logged into your Google account when registering.
Simonics is very reliable and has been around for years.
Not sure Simonics would be appropriate for an office setting, however. There is an initial 2-second delay on incoming GV calls before the caller can hear you. I use Simonics for outgoing calls (via Voice Gateway) but not incoming calls because of this issue.

If anybody read my last post here, it would not resolve the problem, so I removed it. I must of had too much to drink last night.

So: you have a business office. You have eight OBi 1000 series IP phones. You need it to all just work, reliably. You need customer support if something goes wrong.
Google Voice is not the solution for your use case. It's not a free telephone company. It has no direct customer support. Acquiring multiple Google Voice phone numbers via multiple Google Accounts is a violation of Google's Acceptable Use Policy. Any (or all) of your Google Voice inbound phone numbers could be suspended by Google at any time, at their sole discretion, with very little recourse, and with the possibility that you could permanently lose the use of those numbers.

Instead, use a business-appropriate SIP VoIP Internet Telephone Service Provider. There are plenty from which to choose, depending on your DIY skills vs. wanting a more managed solution. The OBiTALK web portal has pre-built configuration templates for many of them.
Many of us here on this forum use Callcentric, voip.ms, or PhonePower. Nextiva and Dialpad are examples of more cloud-managed providers. Some of them will even port your number(s) in for free. These ITSPs have customer user portals or "dashboards", which usually allow you to assign multiple extensions, add, change or remove extensions at any time, set up forwarding, hunt groups and/or simultaneous ringing, and include voicemail. You can accomplish the large majority of configuration tasks on the ITSP's portal, without any need to get into the guts of OBi expert mode configuration.
Lavarock7:
Steve is correct. I too suggest a regular Voip provider.
I am most familiar with Voip.Ms but many have the ability for "extensions" or "sub-accounts" or "ring groups", etc
Visit a few providrs and look at their capabilities. You may find a better solution .
