specific configuration with 2 GV numbers - possible ?

(1/1)

vtsnaab:
Hi Folks.
I recently got a 2nd GV number so I don't have to give out the one which rings on my OBi110.
I know the OBi will handle 2 numbers, and my query goes beyond that - I hope this is possible:

The #1 number will always remain the incoming, ringing numberThe #2 number is to be used for ALL outgoing callsThe #2 number NEVER rings, always goes directly to VM, preferably after just 1 ring...
This way the ONLY folks having my ringing number are those I wish to have it and my caller ID always shows the non-ringing number so that any random incoming calls do not disturb me if I'm asleep, but they can leave a VM which I'll get later.

If this is possible, how do I go about setting it up, please ?

Thanks !

PS: I tried searching to see if there is already mention of this, but was unable to describe it well enough to get my answer, so I am asking...I hope that's OK.

This will happen by default.

The #2 number is to be used for ALL outgoing calls


Set this trunk (SP1 or SP2) as your PrimaryLine:

Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : (SP1 Service/SP2 Service)

Accomplish this on your Google Voice account settings.  Set the Ring Schedule on the Google Chat phone to Never Ring on Weekdays plus Never Ring on Weekends.

EXCELLENT!
Thank You RonR - and may I ask a stupid question too ?

Does 'PrimaryLine' = outgoing exclusively ?

The rest makes perfect sense to me and I'm now ready to set up my 2nd number, which is great.

Your help is hugely appreciated !!!

Edit:
All set up now - just right too.

Yes, PrimaryLine affects outgoing calls only.  By default, incoming calls on any trunk ring the PHONE Port.
