Call from Obihai 202 to my mobile number always busy - why?
GPz1100:
^^If that were the case, calls would be blocked from hangouts too. Your flip doesn't know the call is coming from gv by way of obi, or hangouts or where ever.
You know how they say a reboot fixes most issues... A factory reset is worth a shot at this point IMO.

Very busy today and not had a chance to catch up and do resets. But I noticed one thing - when I use the plastic phone attached to the Obihai in my GV account to call an unrelated mobile phone and the call goes through, the unrelated mobile shows as incoming caller ID the absurdly long name I stupidly put on the GV number - "Google voice 1st to be #### later" (where ### are the last four digits of the number I wish to port).
Maybe that long name is the problem? Can I change it? I don't see where.
drgeoff:
Google Voice does NOT send Caller Name, only either the Caller Number of the number of the GV account (see screenshot). So where is the name coming from?
GPz1100:
Probably coming from a contact defined in the phone's contact list.
glnz6:
GPz1100 - That long name is not in the unrelated recipient phone's contact list at all. I must have typed it as I started setting everything up - maybe in the set-up for the GMail account that I first created before I did anything else?
But, again, if I call from Hangout from the GV number to the Vz prepaid flip phone (that now has the number I want to port), the call goes through and the Vz prepaid flip phone shows me only the GV calling number and NOT "Google voice 1st to be #### later".
More to do.
