In bound callroute question. Bridging incoming calls to home number.
larrybob:
I would like to bridge all incoming calls to my home number.
i have tried this for SP1 inboundCallroute :
{sp1(14152222222)} this would be my home number.
It does not work, my call just goes to the Google voice answer service after 4 rings. Is it possible to have incoming calls get bridged in this manner?
Thanks , Larry

Your post does not have enough information to be useful. Where is the OBi (if not at your home)? What service is on SP1 (GV, other)? When you set SP1 InboundCallRoute to {ph}, does the phone connected to your OBi ring? Are you calling from a number associated with your GV account or OBi in any way? If so, please explain. Is the number 14152222222 associated with your GV account or OBi in any way? If so, please explain. What, if anything, appears in Call History, after a failing bridged call attempt?

Stewart. thanks for the reply.
My actual in bound call route rule for sp1 (Google voice ) is {sp1(14154871880)} if I add {ph} as A second rule it rings the phone.
Let me explain what my goal is. I think it is better we start from scratch.
I have an extra OBi 100 and I want to dedicate it, to only calling one cell phone number in Brazil.
I have been using a company ,Local Phone, on my cell phone to do this. They give me a local San Francisco number, which bridges to a number I assigned on their web site of a cell phone in Brazil. Their cost per minute it 19.5 cents.
I have found a betamax voip company which will give me a rate of 4 cents/ minute for this same call.
My first thought was to have the obi route only calls from my cell phone to this number in Brazil, and have the rest ring the phone or go to the AA. Then, I thought even this is not needed. All incoming calls on SP1 could be routed( as I would be, the only one calling in on Sp1.)
To test this, I thought I would create a rule so that all calls coming in on sp1 (Google voice, would be routed out to my house number ( I happen to be using ooma as my house number, ).I read that GV can handle an incoming and out going call with one account. I thought i could test this by calling my Google voice number on my cell phone, and see if this rang my house phone. If this test worked, Then, I would get a voip service for Sp2 and use this to bridge the call to Brazil.
I do not understand why the inbound call route rule i am testing does not do what i thought it would do.
Thanks Larry

Something doesn't compute. An InboundCallRoute of:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {sp1(14154871880)},{ph}
would never get to the ph rule.

I don't know why you are having trouble doing this through the OBi (Call History may give a clue), but IMO you should just use an Easyvoip (or whatever) access number. You'll get better quality and easier setup (though they do charge an extra $.003/min.) See http://www.easyvoip.com/geo . Click the "more info" link to see how to set up the contact in your cell phone, so the call is completely automatic.
