forward gv calls
gqaa:
so can you give me any suggestions on how i can forward google voice to an international country?
because thats the reason i got the virtual (forwarding) number.

Don't use Google Voice. You're attempting to do something that it is not designed to do.
Use your Sonetel number instead, or get a number from a SIP VoIP service provider like Callcentric or voip.ms, which you can directly set up on your OBi device. You can have an OBi in say, France, provisioned with a US Callcentric number, and it will work just as if it was physically in the USA.

gqaa, if you want to forward calls with the Obi202/200, you can. The device is designed to do it and it does work.
Either in the ObiTalk portal or via the UI, take a look at the "Calling Features" section of your Google Voice "Voice Service" (most likely SP1). You can route your calls conditionally, specify the number of rings before it forwards, etc., and choose which SP it goes out on. Some of the features you can activate via star codes, although I don't see where you can set the ring count with those.

Your posts have repeatedly shown that you do not understand Google Voice's design, purpose, or operation. It is not a free SIP trunk provider. It is a cloud-based, integrated service, including its own call forwarding and message management components. It is not designed to be treated as a bare-bones DID.
A better home for you, would be on DSLReports.

You can save the shade. I understand perfectly what the intent of GV is. And its limitations. Which is why I pay for DIDs from other carriers, which have better online management capabilities. And why I'm a big fan of the Obi2nn and its processing and integration features.
The original poster was asking to do something using his Obi device. You refuse to allow the possibility, yet what he is trying to do, according to him, seemingly can't be done with GV alone.
The Obi device by itself is amazingly powerful, whether used with or without Google Voice. AND, the facilities we have for online/cloud processing of inbound calls are not limited to Google Voice. In fact, Google Voice in some ways is quite primitive compared to what's available from some commercial voip providers.
I use Google Voice's forwarding function to route it through Callcentric, where I use their Call Treatments facility for post-processing, and pass some things along to voip.ms for their IVR and Time Conditions. These are not things available through GV. And, the Obi2 series lets you integrate multiple carriers and provides extra features itself.
There's no reason for your hostility. Isn't this the Obihai forum? Should I be suggesting that perhaps you'd be happier over on the Google Voice forum? ( https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/voice )
