Obihai 1062 voicemail on device??

(1/3) > >>

MWJeff:
My set-up is GV to Obitalk with (1) Obi200 and (2) Obi1062's. I have the GV accounts set to take VM. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to establish a VM box on the 1062 devices.

If I receive a call and answer it on the Obihai1062, I can transfer it to the Obi200. If Obi200 does not answer, it is picked up by the voicemail answering machine on the Vtech unit that is attached. If the Obi200 transfers is back to the Obihai1062, but if the extension doesn't answer then it just fails. There doesnt seem to be a answering machine on the unit itself.

Is there some other way to have a voicemail box on the Obihai1062?

Thanks!

MWJeff:
Specifically I get a call Failed 900 after approx 60 secs with no answer. The same thing happens unrelated to GV. If I am at one Obi1062 and call the other, I cannot leave a message on that unit. Seems like a pretty basic function that should exist..

OBi ATAs and OBiphones do not have voicemail.  That needs to be provided by your analogue phone on an ATA or by your ITSP or PBX.

MWJeff:
Thanks for that info! I dont think I have any of those. Are there any common free or low cost providers for this sort of thing? Like you indicated, my analog phone connected to my Obi200 has it built in. I guess I would need to figure out how to make that happen for each of my 1062's.

Or is there some way to route it back to GV voicemail in the expert settings? Prefer to have each phone have their own voicemail, but if it could at least be routed back to GV - that would be better than the call just ending.

MWJeff:
I see that CallCentric might be what I am needing. Signed up for an account with IP Freedom and Voicemail. Just not sure what to do next. I ultimately just want to have it (or something) be a voicemail box for the Obi1062 phone. The rest of my set-up is exactly how I want it. I just need to figure out how to configure CallCentric as a voicemail solution for my 2 Obi1062's.
