This is on my personal system, to separate business calls from personal calls. Want to add 1-3 numbers at beginning of CID.
Give the following a try:
{(<:555>xx.):ph}

No joy. Phone didn't ring. But I did confirm with
{(<:555>xx.):ph},ph
that phone, port, etc are all correct. Doesn't seem to be matching correctly?
Did Obi remove this capability? Incoming is GV line (shouldn't matter?), going out over phone port2 on the Obi202. I haven't updated firmware in quite some time?

It does matter, GV prepends a “+”.
Try:
{(<+:555>xx.):ph}

Okay, that is a step closer. It rings in on that line now, but not CID changes.
On the Panasonic cordless CID is 1-aaa-bbb-cccc, where a=Area code, b=Exchange, c=last 4
On the Obi2182, CID is +1aaabbbcccc (I see the + and no dashes)
I have been checking the 2182, just in case the Panasonic cordless is funky with CID.
myobinameisinuse9987:
Ok, HOLD THE PHONE...
{(<+:=555>xx.):ph}
Yields 5551aaabbbcccc on the second screen, nothing on the first screen (too wide).
But, found another problem with the test setup.
This Panasonic phone and the Obi202 used have been in service for quite some time. (the 2182 is new to us just this week). Because of that, something I never checked, is my cell that is being used to call and test the CID changes was saved in the phone's directory/phonebook.
We've had this cordless phone for a decade I think. It had 4 items in its onboard phonebook. I forgot it even had one.
So, that means the above works (I added the = ), but it also means the other suggests are NOT EXCLUDED, they may work, I can't say with any certainty due to a defective test setup.
To anyone else looking to modify incoming callerID, be sure there isn't any store numbers, phonebook, directory, etc on your phone used for testing. At least on this Panasonic cordless, it will override any incoming CID.
Thank you to all who have helped me get this far!
