Turning off voicemail in Google Voice

<< < (2/2)

I’m sure I’ll be criticized for this suggestion. I think GV transfers calls to VM after the 5th ring. What you need to do is after 4 rings forward the inbound call somewhere that will answer the call then transfer the call back to your OBi to continue ringing your phone. GV will not send answered calls to VM.

Callcentric has a free IP Freedom account that has an IVR function. Register your OBi to your Callcentric account. Route calls to your Callcentric account after 4 rings (the OBi has this function). Define a Callcentric Call Treatment to transfer all calls to the IVR. The IVR will route the call back to your OBi.

I did some very basic testing. I defined an IVR:
IVR Name: BypassVM
Timeout: 1 Second
Announcement: “We are redirecting your call”
Did not define any key presses
Last Route: Single Forward
Send to: My extension

I called Callcentric directly, not GV.
I heard the IVR message then my extension started ringing.
I’m assuming this will stop GV sending the call to VM.

Edit:
If you're interested, I'll do additional testing to make sure this will work correctly. I'll also be available to help with the setup.

Are you talking about using CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber? If so, what value are you using for the "Directory number" to route it to Callcentric?

Assuming SP4 is defined as non-GV SIP.
CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber: sp4(1777xxxxxxx@in.callcentric.com;ui=$1)
