10 or 11 beeps/busy signal sound before dial tone
Stephen:
Hi,
A new Obi user and excited about all of the possibilities.
I was able to quickly get outbound GV calls going, but can't get incoming calls (checked all the tutorials I could find). Another post on this, but thought the following might be a clue...
After setting up GV, when picking up my home phone (connected to Obi), instead of getting an immediate dialtone I get a busy signal or long message waiting of 10 to 11 rapid fire beeps.
Seems this is an indication of something, or some action that might need to be taken, but I can't find an explanation for it.
Thank you for your help!

I suspect what your hearing is a 'stutter dialtone'. It indicates your have unread voicemail. Log into your Google Voice account and clear your Inbox.
You can also check your voicemail by dialing your own Google Voice number from the OBi.

Hi RonR,
Thank you for your reply.
My new GV was empty, and even after triple checking and deleting all test messages this problem persists.

Stephen:
quick update: there must be a time delay. After deleting all messages in Gv, about 10 minutes later then alert went away.
Stephen:
a bit frustrating, that if there are any messages in GV at all, then I get this busy signal alert, even though all of them have been viewed and marked as read.
Unless I delete everything all day long, i get this annoying busy signal.
Seems there should be a simple setting to not flag me if there are old messages sitting in my mail box.
