Call Screening on Obi200
SteveInWA:
Some of the "legacy" features are being retired, or have already been retired, among them, the "Call options" of recording a call or transferring a call to another linked number. Groups & Circles is undecided right now. It's been the source of a lot of confusion and unintended behavior over the years, e.g. a user forgetting that they have set up the rules, or the system unintentionally ending up with one of the linked destinations being disabled. The feature in its current, legacy state, will probably go away, and perhaps they will (or won't) add something like it later.
The main reasons for some of the feature changes are: relatively little use, making ongoing support and regression testing not worth the cost, or features that were designed primarily to work with PSTN calling, which don't work across the new VoIP-centric platform.
Call screening changed recently with the new platform. It isn't documented at the moment, and it may change, depending on "hate mail" feedback, but my understanding is that all calls from numbers not in your Google Contacts will be screened with the "state your name" prompt, and all calls from numbers in your Contacts will not be screened. I haven't tested it lately, so this is just what I've been told, not what I have taken time to test and validate.

I would prefer to have call screening enabled for forwarding to a cell phone, but disabled when ringing on my Obi200.
Is X_SkipCallScreening set in the Calling Features section of the appropriate Voice Service on your OBi200? If not, try setting it. I was under the impression that this option causes the OBi to send a touchtone '1' automagically upon answering so as to explicitly bypass Call Screening.
(I wish Google would implement a similar function on their Android phones so that Call Screening could be bypassed there, too. It would make the roadways much safer. But it appears the one hand of Google has absolutely no idea what the other hand is doing.)

Adding the option to say accept call or send to voicemail would be nice.

Yes, X_SkipCallScreening is set to on, but it doesn't appear to be working.
I am on 3.2.2 (Build: 5859EX) if that makes any difference.
ProfTech:
Should be simple enough to test. Just uncheck the option and see if it acts any different when you receive a call.
