SOLVED: No dial tone on BT phone with Obi 200
drgeoff:
1. OBis require a DTMF phone. Pulse dialling (aka loop disconnect) is not supported. It is yonks since pulse only phones were made. Check if the Dialtron has a pulse/tone switch. I would question how you dialled the *s using a pulse only phone.
2. If all else fails with the DECT Freestyle 750s get an adaptor between US and UK. Ebay or Amazon etc. EG serach 402136000383 on ebay UK. But surely you used something equivalent to connect the Dialtron to the OBi?
Later edit.
3. Is you problem with the Freestyles that unlike bog standard phones it is not sufficient to just press the number keys? Like all DECT phones there is an additional button that must be pressed - the one to the left immediately below the Phonebook key. Try pressing that before dialling numbers. Does that get you dial tone?

Thanks for the fast help.
Problem solved ;D
What you said made me realise that I wasn't using the cable supplied with the Freestyle 750 (RJ11-BT).
I had used a RJ11-RJ11 cable since that's fitted into both devices directly.
When I put in the originally supplied RJ11-BT cable and put the BT socket into an adapter (as you described) to turn it into a RJ11 to go into the Obi, I got a dial tone!
The **9 echo test worked.
That wasn't the end of the difficulties though.
The **5 setup just said the number has been sent to the server and then failed.
**6 firmware update would not work
I had to use **1 to get the IP address, login with admin admin, then set DNS1 to a public DNS 4.2.2.2 as described at http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=6354.msg40247#msg40247
I then eventually worked out how to setup Siggate successfully.
Now I am receiving occasional one ring calls from 'External number'. I guess these are the ghost calls I've seen mentioned? I find the guidance on stopping them very confusing and lacking detail on exactly what to do where. Screenshots of what to do in the Obi interface would really help.
Thanks again drgeoff
I've renamed the thread to reflect the problem and add "solved", I hope that is ok?

To deal with the SIP scanner calls see http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=4067.msg90149#msg90149. Though that mentions Google Voice it is more widely applicable. Make the change using the 200's onboard web server or through Expert Mode on the portal depending on whichever method you have chosen to do all your configuration.
And disable all the SPs you are not using.
