Call Home from Linked Physical Phone

(1/1)

Heath:
Using Obi100 at home with no POTS, and it's working great but for one issue.  I have to have a physical phone for google voice so I used my work number (cell already dedicated to its own google voice number).  If I want to call my wife at home on the Obi, how do I do it from my work phone?  As it stands, it goes straight to voicemail.

Stewart:
In GV Settings, Phones tab, click Edit for your work number, click Show advanced settings, under "Direct access to voicemail ...", select No.

Heath:
Dude, seriously.  Works great now.  I'm such a newb (I swear it didn't work before).

This service is f'ing awesome.  I was using teltub's gHome to interface with Google Voice, and the voice delay was unbearable.  I was told to use teltub's tHome (basically thier home-grown SIP service) because it would be faster, but I was still having over a second of voice delay, and they couldn't get their act together on providing e911.  On a whim, I decided to pick up an obi100.  It's ridiculously great.  The voice delay is minimal (no worse than my cell), and I setup sp2 for e911 through call-centric.  Done and done.  WAY BETTER than teltub's service.

Thanks, guys.
