I followed the thread and changed the settings. I'm glad that the calls stopped. But I found all the incoming calls go to my google voice, not ring my phone anymore. Can you help me to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Go back to step 1 and change X_InboundCallRoute back to the default of ph. Submit and save your settings.
If that fixes things and you can receive calls again it probably means you got the syntax of your X_InboundCallRoute slightly wrong. After making the change, if you can still receive calls but aren't getting any SIP scanner calls you can just leave things as they are.
Using either step 1 or step 2 should stop the SIP scanner problem. You don't need both.

Thanks. I deleted the device and re-registered again. Now it's working.

Anyone else experiencing this or know what might be wrong?
You're getting hit by SIP scanners. Either of the following solutions should fix the problem:
1>Using OBi Expert, change Voice Services-->SPy Service-->X_InboundCallRoute to the following:
{>GV1XXXXXXXXXX:ph} (This is using your "SIP Login/prefix" as seen on your Simonics web page)
y=SP service number (SP1, SP2, SP3, or SP4 under Voice Services) being used for Simonics
XXXXXXXXXX=Google Voice number
2>Using OBi Expert, change Voice Services-->SPy Service-->X_UserAgentPort to a random number between 10000 and 65535, for example, 55120.
y=SP service number (SP1, SP2, SP3, or SP4 under Voice Services) being used for Simonics
Important: You must uncheck both boxes to the right of the field you are trying to edit. Make the change in the exact order shown below. You can't do Step 2 until you do Step 1 first.
Step 1: Uncheck box under OBiTALK Settings for the field you wish to edit
Step 2: Uncheck box under Device Default for the field you wish to edit
Step 3: Edit the field you wish to change
Step 4: Submit and save your settings
Hi. I registered in this forum just to say thank you to Taoman. Your instructions were just what I needed. I used the second solution and now I don't get phone calls every 5 minutes!
Newbie questions, can the SOBs scan ALL the ports to find the random one I chose?
What was the purpose of the scan, getting into the computer?
I answered the phone, am I screwed?
Thanks again!

Some routers do not do NAT properly. When you connect your device to our SIP gateway they then open SIP from the whole world back to you Obi.
You can get a better router or change your Obi's SIP listening port so that there is not an obvious path for the SIP scanners to get to your network.
Search forums for "ghost calls" or "SIP scanners"
Hi Bill. First, thank you for the gateway. I'm a subscriber (OBI100) and won't buy a new OBi just on principle, I was promised life time service and life time service I'll have!
Now to the point, I have no idea what a NAT is or does. I assume is not the little antenna they give you? don't laugh, a lot of us only know you "plug the router to the Internets" I've never even heard of SIP scanners, maybe a warning in your page could help other people in my situation?
One more thing, I need to change my 2008 router. I like the TP-Link Archer-C50 - AC1200, It's cheap and has good recommendations. Can you and anybody else here with knowledge of this things recommend It for VOIP?
Thank you!
