Call Screening w/Google Voice & Google Chat...Once again
Stu-be:
Similar but different: I have OBI 100 and GV for my home line. I "Press 1" and the other person's call always comes through. HOWEVER, I have one friend who also has an OBi 100 with a GV home-line set-up exactly like mine. When she calls and I "Press 1" it ignores my pressing and keeps requesting that I "Press 1". I can "Press 1" until I am blue in the face. Eventually, her calls always go into GV voicemail. This is the only situation where this is happening is where we are both using OBi set-ups. Any idea what would cause this?

So yeah... I've got the exact same problem as WayneB with one small exception. When I set up a second GV account on SP2, I tested the line by calling from my cell phone. After 2 rings, picked up the GV phone and received the Google Voice caller announcement which surprised me as my SP1 line never did. Went to GV settings and found that the call screening option was active. Unchecked it because I thought I had read somewhere that you needed to for proper Obi100 setup (my mistake). So, test again and GV phone pick up receives incoming call immediately as it should. Later read that I could indeed use GV call screening without Obil100 conflict. Back to GV to check call screening again and... well here I am with the same situation as WayneB... when I pick up, dead silence until I press 1 to accept or press 2 to send to vm/monitor. Also... checking and unchecking X_SkipCallScreening in all cases worked as expected.

richardinmilpitas,
Welcome.
Back in the day, we had to enable the following setting for the OBi to auto-magically press 1 for you:
Voice Services->SPX Service->Calling Features->X_SkipCallScreening
