GV missed calls - when answered by home machine?
offroad:
Testing my new Obi110 and would like to use my own answering machine.
The machine picks up on 4 rings which beats GV to the call but then the phone reports a missed call which I believe is coming from GV even though my machine answered it. Any way around this?
Also, can I call my Obi110 from a telephone and have it dial another number for me?
Or is this only possible from Obi to Obi?

It sounds like you have an answering machine that is separate from your phone and they're both connected to the OBi PHONE Port. When your answering machine takes the call, your phone simply sees the ringing stop as if it was a missed call.

If you're wanting to call into your Google Voice number and have the Auto Attendant answer so you can make an outgoing call, set:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {12341234567:aa},{ph}
where 12341234567 is the CallerID of the phone you wish routed to the Auto Attendant. If you want all incoming calls answered by the Auto Attendant, use instead:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {aa}

I'm using a cordless phone with an integrated answering machine and yes its connected to the OBi Phone Port.
The answering machine is set to pickup the call before GV gets it. After leaving a message on the machine the phone displays a missed call which must be coming from GV. Is there any way if I always want the integrated machine to record messages to stop getting the missed call indication on the phone since its already recorded by the machine?

Do you have Google Voice set to place missed calls in your inbox? If so, I believe the OBi would signal VMWI to your phone.

Under GV Settings-Calls:
Missed Calls
Place missed calls in the inbox
Send missed calls to my email:
These are both unchecked.
