Dialing Obi Number from another SIP account

(1/3) > >>

yfh_obi:
I have Obi 200 that comes with a 6 digits obi number.  I can call any obi number from my Obi 200 by dialing **9xxx-xxx.  If I want to dial an obi number using a SIP software or another SIP adapter what will be the full address I should use (I guess it is called URI).  In other words the syntax for dialing any sip number will be xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.  For obi what should I write after the @ to reach the Obi number from another non-obi sip account?

Thanks
Y

You are mistaken about at least the following two things:

1. OBi numbers that you can dial with the **9 prefix are 9 digits not 6.

2. You cannot reach an OBi device using its 9 digit number from a SIP device.

It is often possible to use a SIP client to call an OBi device if you know its IP address and it is reachable. Typically this will require port forwarding if the OBi has a non-routeable IP address behind a NAT router.

Thank you for the correction.  I meant the 9 digits obi number.  Is it possible to mask the Obi number with a DID?   I have another question.  Is the basic service for Obi (not Google voice) is standard SIP or a different protocol is used?

I don't understand what "mask the Obi number with a DID" means.

OBi devices support 3 protocols:

SIP

Obitalk. No published details. Believed to be proprietary but based on SIP. The previously offered Obion client for PC appeared to be some sort of 'wrapper' around a required 3rd party SIP client. At a guess the call set up is different but the audio transmission is much the same.

XMPP as used by GV.

You can use the SIP protocol to call an OBi with another device. You might have audio problems if the device is outside the local network. What type of device do you want to use?
