Using Google Voice Call Screening
MySpoonsTooBig:
Replying to my own post...
I forwarded to GV for a while, and the PSTN->Callcentric->GV->Obi route just added way too much latency. The call quality was fine, but it was like using a walkie talkie. I finally gave up and just wait 4 rings before sending it through Callcentric to GV. At that point, GV goes straight to voicemail... I have my Callcentric number set that way on GV.
I'd love to hear a way to filter my PSTN line through GV if anyone has a method that works :)
Stewart:
Please describe what kind of filtering you'd like to do.
One possibility is to have a small whitelist in the OBi itself, routing e.g. a dozen frequent contacts directly to the Phone port (and GV or other provider's filtering/voicemail after a delay).
If your landline has call forwarding, perhaps leave it permanently forwarded to a VoIP provider. Or, you might want to port the number to a reputable provider, getting lifeline service with another number for reliable 911 access and as a backup.
I don't know why your in.callentric.com forwarding wasn't working, but you might try setting X_DnsSrvAutoPrefix, or sending to 1777xxxxxxx@in.callcentric.com:5070
What city are you in? If you're in the West, Callcentric is not the best choice, latency wise, because they proxy all traffic through their New York servers.
