Auto Attendant on your OBi110
OBi-Guru:
Once you reach the OBi Auto Attendant (AA), you can press 1 to "continue this call", i.e. to ring the OBi phone (FXS).
Or press 2 to "make a new call", i.e. dial a new number, let's say 1-800-xxx-xxxx (US number) or 011-44-xxxx .. (int'l call to UK). Make sure to press the # key at the end of the dialing.
You can always "barge-in" your dialing of 1 or 2, the AA menu will comply accordingly.
For an expert user, this AA can be added to your "Inbound CallRoute" parameter, e.g. {aa, ph}
For ease of use, go signup at ObiTALK page, so you can manage your own device easily, especially to invoke the AA and other things.
droo:
Is there a way to bypass the AA? (instead of typing someone's number, pressing 2, then dialing the real number)
Say I want to reach the UK using the cheapest possible route in the trust circle, is there a shortcut for this?
OBi-Guru:
Yes, you can speed-dial from AutoAttendant. Do make sure that speed-dial is defined accordingly in the OBi device that does the attendant.
However, least cost routing among the many OBi is not possible from ObiTALK (yet). But if you're an expert user, and you belong to many circles of trusts, say - one of your circles is actually in the UK - then put the outbound routing rules of "country code 44" to the UK OBi - so the call will be local.
The routing rules inside the OBi are one of the most powerful --- it is like a traffic cop that routes your call to the appropriate destination.
Traveler:
i setup a obi device with GV as primary for outgoing US/Canada calls. then i add all my overseas friends' obitalk (which they've configured with their own obi device and connecting their own cordless phone) account in my CoT. now they freely pickup their cordless phone, dial my obi number and make a 2 stage USA/Canada call.
now when they want to call me instead, how can they make the phone connected to my obi ring instead of selecting 1 to continue the call. to sum it up, what do they need to do to make a 1 stage call to my obi number (direct call by passing the AA) yet keep the option to make 2 stage calls to other USA/Canada numbers?
jimates:
with their Obi numbers in your COT their calls will go directly to the AA every time.
