Is PhonePower still an approved service provider?
tbaggott:
Thank you jentzd. I have put the info in from your configuration suggestion into my OBI. (192.168.1.5) not OBI web portal (expert). After i did what jentzd suggested, It started 2 times and came back a little different from jentzd configuration. Here are the differences.
In the Service Providers section:
Under ITSP Profile x General:
Digitmap=(*xx|1xxxxxxxxxx|<1540>[2-9]xxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*]@@.)
Could be just my setup?
Under ITSP Profile x SIP:
RegistrarServer = (blank)
RegistrarServerPort = 5060
RegistrationPeriod = 60
All other info stayed the same as jentzd info.
Thank you, My OBI now works again, at least for the last 2 hours. YEA!!

Turns out it wasn't just the 3600 in registration period (that was my guess). A few more settings are needed that I would have never guessed.
In the Service Providers section:
Under ITSP Profile x General:
1) Name = PhonePower
2) DTMFMethod = Auto
3) X_UseFixedDurationRFC2833DTMF = not checked
4) DigitMap = (**|[3469]11|0|00|1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|*21|*50xxxx|*51xxxx|*52xxxx|*53xxxx|*54|*6[013569]|*6[27]xx.|*77|*[789]2xx.|*73|*74[0-1][0-9]*xxxxxxxxxx|*75[0-1][0-9]|*8[137]|90xxxx|*93|*96|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@.)
Under ITSP Profile x SIP:
ProxyServer = sip.phonepower.com
ProxyServerPort = 0
RegistrarServer = sip.phonepower.com
RegistrarServerPort = 12060
UserAgentDomain = sip.phonepower.com
OutboundProxy = sip.phonepower.com
OutboundProxyPort = 0
RegistrationPeriod = 3600
X_RegistrationMargin = 0.1
In the Voice Services section:
Under SPx Service:
Enable = checked
X_AcceptSipFromRegistrarOnly = checked
X_NoRegNoCall = checked
X_KeepAliveEnable = checked
X_KeepAliveExpires = 30
X_KeepAliveServer = sip.phonepower.com
DirectoryNumber = (your phone number)
AuthUserName = (your phone number)
AuthPassword = (your sip password)
So, now that the ASP method is gone, I was selecting the list of service providers and selecting phone power. The tech told me not to do that. Essentially you can select generic service provider, fill in a few items from this list, but then go into expert mode and fill in the rest of the items. Not easy!!
But at least there is a way forward.
Also the tech said SPs still in ASP registered mode will eventually stop working Sad I did not ask about the concurrent calls issue, since we will be going from 4 to 2, but I will - eventually.. unless someone beats me to it.

FYI PhonePower auto-renewed my account over night for 59.99 again for the period ending 11/20/18. I do think it would be nice to get a notice before and after the renewal, which I might call them about, but for those wondering about PP renewing here's your answer. ;D

Found that on the phone power sip credentials page
The minimum registration interval is at least 1 hour. Any duration shorter than 1 hour can result in intermittent or complete loss of service.
When Obi device registers, it registers as 60 seconds by default. Setting is RegistrationPeriod under ITSP Profile A SIP (etc)
Going to try changing this to be 3600.
Will report results
I have been finding my phone not working when everything looked normal in OBiTALK and my OBi200. I don't use the phone a lot, so I don't it's down until I try to make a call. After several times over a couple of month of power cycling my system to get it back up, I called today and got a very helpful tech at PP. The very first thing we changed was the device register to 3600. He said the constant checking from OBi at 60 caused their server to block access. He also took me through a complete setup, bypassing configuring from my dashboard. Now, I'm setup as if I am using one their OBi301's I think. He sent a new digitmap to me that I'm waiting to receive (email delayed) to complete the setup. As a OBi customer at the discount rate I've never gotten a tech that was so thorough in getting my phone working. I definitely saved the cofig file.
I noticed after the changes it was taking longer to connect calls and later I found MWI was broken. I did get the digitmap and inserted, but later in response to an email from me wonder where the email with that change was PP support said I don't need to change the digitmap and gave me instructions for setting up PP the way we normally do on SP1, with these changes:
A) Locate ITSP PROVISIONING
B) You need to edit the first three parameters.. to make them editable, uncheck the box to the left of the
parameter and you will see the check move to the box to the left of it.. Uncheck that box as well and you'll
be able to make changes.
C) Edit as follows: (See STEP 5 SCREENSHOT FOR A,B)
(*A) METHOD: Change to "PERIODICALLY"
(*B) INTERVAL: Set to 30 (this will allow you to make changes and Update to the device without restarting it)
D) Press submit at the bottom and your device will update.. next reboot it to refresh
the changes in the device and it should show "REGISTERED" in the Dashboard status window.
After reverting to the above setup MWI immediately worked. The instructions say change three parameters, but only gave two changes. I've emailed them to find out what the third change is.
All this was pretty frustrating and had me again cursing VOIP. Oh for a good ole POTS line and free long distance.

After spending almost literally the whole weekend futzing with getting PP to register and hold register, I just followed your hybrid setup the tech recommended and added PP as a generic. The most credible tech I've dealt with over the past week said I needed to no longer use OBiTALK and I should log into the IP. I got that working once and then lost register and could never get any changes to stick after a boot. I eventually discovered yesterday my OBi works perfectly when connected to one of my switches, but just would not connect when connected directly to my router, as it always has been. After that I could move it back to the direct patch and it worked, which is bizarre. Currently waiting to see if your setup causes PP to maintain register.
12/11 Update The setup proposed by jetzd has held register for the better part of 24 hours. The issue with my LAN is hard for me to understand, but after moving my OBi200 to connect on a switch port, rather than directly to my router I was able to set up my OBi with Simonics GVGW and PhonePower. After observing this setup for several hours I and then moved my OBi back to a port on my router. I did connect it to a different router port, just because.
Why my OBi could not connect to the web from the router, but could from a switch downstream from that very same router is beyond my knowledge base, but discovering that bug more or less ended two days of hair pulling frustration.
