Why can't I forward an incoming call to a number that doesn't 'supe'?
david2:
I'm not sure if this a Google Voice issue or a limitation with the OBi202 itself.
I've been experimenting with the Call Forward (No Answer) feature.
My configuration is as follows:
CallForwardOnNoAnswerEnable: <checked>
CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber: SP4(1NXXXXXXXX)
CallForwardOnNoAnswerRingCount: 1
CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber is set to forward to a telephone number that is disconnected (telco msg). I've noticed that if I set the CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber to this disconnected number, or any other number that doesn't supervise (a reorder, a number that is always busy, etc.), the incoming call on the OBi202 won't get bridged with this forwarding number - even though the forwarding number "answers". Is there any way to get around this?
SteveInWA:
WTF would you want to forward to a disconnected number?
david2:
I have a few reasons. I have one number that gets a ton of robo calls. I mainly use this number as an outgoing line. I would like to dump all incoming calls to either a disconnected number or an always busy number, but I can't get either of those to work because these types of numbers don't supervise.
On a traditional landline network, this can be forced by dialing the forwarding code twice.
SteveInWA:
Is the problematic number (that is getting the robocalls) an inbound Google Voice number? If so, just go to the old, "Legacy" Google Voice website settings page, and remove the check mark to the left of Google Chat. Voila, no more inbound calls.
david2:
Tried that. Snag: calls still go to Google's voicemail. I don't want that either. I want the incoming calls to reach a dead-end. I don't want my GV inbox filling up with voicemails and/or missed calls.
