Call Screening on Obi200

(1/3) > >>

I noticed yesterday that Call Screening is now happening on inbound calls through my Obi200.


I wonder if Google will ever allow us to disable call screening to Obitalks.

Can't you just go here and turn call screening off?*

*Note: I believe call screening works differently if you have joined the GV app WiFi beta. In that case, I "think" unknown callers (not in your Google Contacts) will be call screened. I'm not in the beta so I can't confirm this.

I would prefer to have call screening enabled for forwarding to a cell phone, but disabled when ringing on my Obi200.

Not possible, AFAIK. The closest method I could think of would be to use groups.*
Turn Call Screening on.
Put your Google Contacts into a group.
Under Groups & Circles, turn Call Screening off for that group.
This way only unknown callers will be subject to Call Screening.

*Groups are currently only available in the Legacy version of the GV web interface. Unknown whether groups will ever be supported in the new GV gui interface.

Steve, do you have any info on this? I'm guessing we're getting close to the Legacy version disappearing.
