1 week with obi200. Just works whenever it wants to?
PropDad:
Just bought an obi200 1 week ago. I have followed the instructions and set it up with Google Voice. I have tested and it works with inbound and outbound calls.... well, when it wants to. The first thing is that I have an answering machine at home. If I have it set to 4 rings, the machine will answer but it hears dial tone. The calling party hears the phone continue to ring afterwards and then eventually goes to Google Voice voicemail. Also from time to time you may or may not be able to call the home phone, as well as make outbound calls. Does this thing not consistently work the same all the time?

GV voicemail will pick up a call if it is not answered within about 25 seconds. That time cannot be changed nor the voicemail turned off. If you want your own answering machine to operate it needs to do so before GV's voicemail.

I understand that and I am fine with that. What I don't understand about it is why does the caller still have a ringing sound (voicemail has not answered yet) when my answering machine has answered the call?
Also, not sure why we cannot make calls sometimes. got a "the number you dialed has not received a response from the service provider" yesterday. Rebooted the device and then it works. It's like sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. We don't know until we are trying to use it. :/

Where I am, in New York City, Google was having massive troubles yesterday afternoon. Haven't seen this before.
Phone calls were not connecting. Graphic files were not uploading to Send A Message. Google search was painfully slow, or outright failed. Google News wouldn't update. Meanwhile, other services and providers were working pretty well, with only slight degradation, although I got minor complaints regarding voice quality on Voip.ms and Circlenet, but at least I was getting through. I don't think the problem was my ISP, or nothing would have been working.
I suspect a localized transient infrastructure problem, or maybe an attack. It abated a few hours later.

I am getting similar occurrences, but my network config needs some work.
I may have too many routers.
Has your router been setup to port forward the proper ports used by the OBI?
