PSTN and VOIP Account
Wilbour:
Thanks Ron, I totally misunderstood what the 110 could do. I was under the impression that once the telco line was connected it would allow ALL the PSTN phones to act like the one connected to the PHONE jack of the 110. So if I want a phone to ring in another part of the house I should invest in a cordless system and plug that into the PHONE jack of the 110. Not sure why I thought it could do more. Guess I was not paying close attention.
Thanks for your advice!
RonR:
The alternative is to isolate your incoming PSTN Line from your house phone wiring and connect it only to the OBi's LINE Port. Then connect the OBi's PHONE Port to your house phone wiring. All of your house phones will then be on the OBI's PHONE Port and can use all of the services of the OBi AND the PSTN Line.
Wilbour:
My solution is to rewire the main phone on the first level to run off the obi. My power bar has a built-in splitter near the 110 so that gives me two phones, one on each level. Those are the phones we use mostly for making long distance calls anyway.
RonR:
Just make sure your PSTN Line is NOT connected to anything that gets connected to the OBi PHONE Port.
Stewart:
From a phone connected only to your PSTN line, you can make a GV call by dialing your GV number. At the main menu, press 2 to make a call. This is most useful if your PSTN service has unlimited local calling and your GV number is local to you. (Your PSTN number should be one of the forwarding numbers on the GV account, but you can of course set GV to not actually forward there.)
