Forward one Obihai (both inbound and outbound) to another.

Since you have SIP configured on each OBi, these easiest solution is to route the OBiTALK Service to the Auto Attendant in the normal way and forward your LINE Port calls to the other OBi's PHONE Port via SIP:


Nice. This does ring the other phone (and call waiting even works), but it doesn't transfer the caller ID from the original caller. This might be a limitation of using a SP trunk if I'm reading the documentation correctly :-\

OBi will not spoof caller ID on a VGx.  I've heard that this is for marketing reasons; if so, it won't be fixed.

If you don't need spoofing for Flowroute, you could move it to a VGx and use SP2 for calling the other OBi.  Otherwise, would Flowroute allow for a free call to the other OBi (e.g. SIP URI or iNum)?  If not, you might move Callcentric to a VGx, getting incoming via SIP URI direct to the OBi.

For reference, I ended up using OBiTALK for just forwarding the calls, with no access to the AA. Then, I set up the Callcentric->Callcentric route for AA access. This way I retain caller ID and still can get to the AA.

(The alternative of forwarding using the Callcentric accounts has a funny caveat; if account #2 is on a call and the first OBi forwards its LINE call to it, the caller gets sent to account #2's voicemail and the first phone doesn't get a chance to ring.)

Assuming that you don't actually want to access the AA, but are just using that as a way to get to the remote device's LINE port, perhaps this thread by RonR will work for you: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=1103.0

In my case, a remote OBi is registered as a sub-PBX to a free PBXes account.  Calls from our IP phones to designated (in PBXes) destinations go out the OBi's LINE port, with no need for two-stage dialing.  Incoming calls are forked (by PBXes) to multiple IP phones; you can answer from any and they all show the caller ID.
