Switched to OBI202 and OBILine - How to route incoming landline calls to GV

(1/3) > >>

darinf:
Like everyone else, our OBI110's stopped working.
I purchased an OBI202 and an OBILINE adapter since we still have a landline.

Before, with the OBI110, I could forward incoming landline calls to forward after 4 rings to a GV number via SP2. This way I received voicemail on the GV account.

Now, with the OBI202 and OBILINE, is there a way to route the incoming landline calls to GV voicemail?

Before I could enter forwarding numbers in OBI Expert on the "Physical Interfaces/LINE" section. But now in OBI Expert, I can't change any values. I am also not sure what interface the OBILINE is.

Is there any way to use GV voicemail for a landline?
Could I use the OBI110 device to do that even if it doesn't receive GV calls now?

Thanks in advance.

So sorry about all the posts!!!

Every time I submitted my post, I got the error, "Couldn't get mail server response codes.", so I assumed my posts were not being posted.
So, I kept trying different things and always got the error.

Now there are a BUNCH of duplicate posts!

Mods: please delete all the duplicate threads.

Sorry!

You do it on the 202 plus OBiLINE in exactly the same way you did it on the 110.  You have probably forgotten that in Expert mode you need to untick both boxes a the end of a line to make it editable.

I'm not sure where OBiLINE will appear.  If it isn't immediately obvious on the left side list, click on Physical Interfaces. Might be called LINE Port.

You can use the OBi110 to forward incoming calls on a POTS line to your GV number if you have another Service Provider on the 110.  Not free like GV is.

Thanks for your help.
Especially about unchecking both boxes at the end of each line in Obi Expert. (I feel like an idiot for not figuring that out!)

I will try my previous configuration in ObiExpert assuming the OBLINE is in fact the "LINE" device listed in OBI Expert.

Are you saying I didn't need to buy the OBILINE device? I can use my OBI110 instead?
How do I do that?
If I get an incoming call on the landline on the OBI110, then how do I forward that to a GV number?
Can I do that without the OBI110 working with GV or do I need to pay for another service just to forward from the landline to GV?

Thanks again for your help!

1.  Yes, LINE is the OBiLINE.

2.  Yes, pay for another Service Provider is what I meant.

3.  You did not need the OBiLINE.  Using the OBi202 and OBi110 together could have done what you want though the initial configuration is more complex.
