GV missed calls - when answered by home machine?
offroad:
The numbers look fine in Obi call history.
When I try to dial the same number from GV it says it will call me back and connect me.
The phone connected to my obi rings but when I answer the line just rings and rings just the same.
Never expected this, don't see how I can replace my home phone with Obi/GV now.
All my voice quality tests have been so good, called my brother in another state tonight, talked for an hour and it was just like a land line.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Could it be just a temporary GV issue?

Can you post the number you're calling. PM it to me if don't want to post it publicly.

Just noticed something weird, if I try to call an 800 number with the Obi110/GV it just rings and rings.
Am I supposed to key in something special for an 800/888/866 etc number?
Google Voice does not support Early Media.
For a quick workaround, call 1-646-810-9280 (or find a SIPBroker PSTN number closer to you). At the "Welcome to ..." prompt, dial e.g. *18005551212# (note leading * and trailing #). Be patient; it may take up to 30 seconds to connect.
If that works, you can set up your OBi to route TF calls through SIPBroker (or another free TF provider) automatically.
A better solution is to get an alternate provider for your OBi, primarily so you'll have real 911 service. You can then route TF calls through them.

Number sent via PM, I also tried another 800 and an 888 number I would need to dial on a regular basis and those just ring and ring as well.

The quick workaround worked and I could dial the 800 number and get connected.
How would I route calls through SIPBroker on the Obi and would I still have the wait?
If the OBi met my needs otherwise I'd planned on setting up Call Centric for 911 but would I then get charged by the minute by them when making 800 calls?
What does Early Media mean and why does this happen on what should be a free call from any phone?
Thanks
