ObiHai 212, Google Voice bridging to POTS, can't get it to work
drgeoff:
I looked at the Voice Bridge web pages a year ago in response to a question on another forum.
1. Their app must include a softphone. Both it and the Voice Bridge hardware unit are hardcoded to register with a server run by (or for) Invoxia. If they go out of business the system is dead.
2. Having a VoIP app running on the cellphone does add to its battery drain.
3. https://www.zoiper.com/en/support/home/article/205/Zoiper%20mobile%20PUSH#android is also worth a read. AIUI the issue discussed is applicable to any VoIP client running on a recent Android or iOS phone.

Thank you both for your responses. In regards to the Invoxia, I would rather not use it in conjunction with the OBI if I don't have to. Their softphone app does not work with Android 9.0 (as confirmed with Invoxia) and only works with older versions of Android. I have older phones the app worked on, but I would rather not carry two phones around for this purpose. Still, even on the working app, the issue is still with the country code.
I set up the Obi like drgeoff stated in post "Forking..." and it worked once. The delay on ringing of the phones was a little off (phone calling in rang two or three times before the receiving phone and cell phone rang). I tried playing around with the ring delay without much luck. Not sure what exactly the issue is, but I think I am going to try that setup at home first before I bring it into work just to take any complications with the PBX out of the equation.
In regards to the Auto Attendant feature, I setup as stated "Change the SP1 X_InboundCallRoute to aa. Set a PIN. Set the AA's PrimaryLine to Li." However, I change the SP1 X_InboundCallRoute to aa and set a PIN. I cannot see where the to set the PrimaryLine to Li. I see the PrimaryLine option, but in the drop-down menu, no Li. Any Ideas? Again thank you for all the help.

There should a Primary Line option "PSTN Line"
Edit:
There is another rule you can use to route calls to the AA. Change SP1 inbound route to:
{+1xxxxxxxxxx:aa},{ph}
Replace xxxxxxxxxx with your cell callerid. Now only you are routed to the AA, so you don't need a PIN. All other callers will bypass the AA and ring the OBi212 attached phone. You can test for more than 1 phone number. Are you OK with this 2 step process to make a call?
There is another method to route calls to your cell. It requires an app (softphone) on your cell and a free VOIP service. Don't know if this will improve the delay. Using GV you see the GV callerid, not the original callerid. You will see the original callerid with the softphone.

OK, thank you. Still getting a pretty good delay and it does not work all the time. What is the softphone setup? Thank you again.

Can this setup (PSTN to Google Voice) also be configured using a Obi202 plus a Obi110? (I have both and would rather not have to purchase an additional Obi212). I would route PSTN calls from the 110 to the 202 and then to GV? Can you provide tips on what additional fields to modify in ObiExpert? thanks.
