The only thing I didn't add is the SP2(12345678910) as it showed I was in the SP2Service.


Call forwarding numbers must specify the trunk you wish to be used for the forwarding, and must be in TK (trunk) format [SP1(...), SP2(...), PP(...), or LI(...)].  Forwarding involves making a new outgoing call and bridging the incoming call to the outgoing call.

Yay! It worked! Adding SP2(number) did the trick! Thank you RonR and earthtoobi! :)


I'm trying to understand the motivation in doing it the way you have elected to forward ALL calls to your cell.  I'm not sure who your VOIP provider is, but isn't a much better practice to do the Unconditional call forwarding at the provider level, without the OBi device being involved?  Or it doesn't matter?

Didn't know that! Bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks!

I am setting up this obi100 for a relative who specifically asked for it to be this way. Yes, I could have set it up so the calls are forwarded directly from the Voip provider but this worked and I learned something along the way.  :)
