The route an Obie/Google Voice call takes
TheHoaryHound:
Hey Lateralg,
I'm wondering...did you ever get a straight answer to your original question, "The route an Obie/Google Voice call takes"?
I'd be very interested to see your flow chart, once you have it worked out.
My question relates to the route taken by a call when dialing from the Obion application on an Android phone. I'm wondering if the call is physically routed back through the Obi110 box at my home, before routing out via GV. If that's the case, then any call out from my wifi 8)android phone will be limited by the bandwidth (and power reliability) of my home internet connection.
It'd be great if there was a way for the Obion app on the android to directly access GV (or, Callcentric, whatever) without routing back to the box. Maybe there is a way, but I haven't yet figured it out (only have had the Obi110 for a few days).
Also...very cool that you're providing a seminar to "old folks" (like us)...that is, people old enough to remember stepper switches for POTS dialing. 8)
thanks, TheHoaryHound

RE: Route taken by a call when dialing from the Obion application on an Android phone.
Just a idea:
Quick way to test would be to remove power to OBi 110 /router... If call goes thru call routing is not dependent on OBi 110 being powered up.
RonR:
The only protocol that OBiON Apps speak is OBiTALK Service protocol. All calls from OBiON Apps must go through your OBi except for calls to other OBi's or OBiON Apps.
TheHoaryHound:
Would love to see a "BigObi-in-the-Cloud" to take connections from ObiOn soft phone endpoints, and then route to the user's stored VOIP accounts.
I wonder how much additional build out that would take, given the existing services already provided by Obihai. Maybe a lot?
Sure would be cool to see a service that combines Obi's "box in the house" together with a phone based CSipSimple feature such as direct to voip.

Make sure that the bypass works (you can access the landline when the OBi has no power)
Recent reports are that the OBi hardware revision currently being shipped does not contain the fail-safe relay. Consequently, any telephones connected to it are totally inoperative when the OBi has no power.
For my part, I didn't know this and wouldn't want to trust it in any case, so I bought an inexpensive CyberPower 425VA UPS (that looks like a glorified surge protector) and connected ALL my network and telephony stuff to it. The battery in it is pretty much useless for running a desktop computer, but it's more than enough backup juice to power the router, modem, Obi110, and cordless phone for quite a few hours I expect.
