How Do I Set Up A Second GV Number For My Wife's Phone
Motoman:
Darn. The *72 was simple. So, How do I define a new star code?
Could also just change the configuration you listed below and remove the "ph" from SP1 and then put it back when I return to the USA

Obihai only left us one spare Star Code slot, so there's no room for an enable and disable pair. You'd have to modify *72 from it's current meaning so that you could cancel it with *73.

That's what I would do.

I tried to edit the *72 code in Star Code Var A, as show in the Admin Guide. I couldn't edit it. Am I doing something wrong? Also, when I loaded Obion on my wife's iPhone, and then logged into the Obi using my login, it assigned her the same softphone number as on my iPhone. Then I signed her up for a new ObiTalk account, but it is not linked to mine. Sorry to be so stupid . . . I am usually pretty tech savvy, but I don't know my way around VOIP . . . How do I get her softphone listed on my ObiTalk? Her cell phone is already in my "Circle of Trust"

If you're using the OBiTALK Web Portal, see OBi Expert Configuration (Introduction).

I don't believe there is any way (or need) to link her OBiON account to your OBi account. You have to manually edit the InboundCallRoute's to add the OBiON OBiTALK numbers for incoming calls to ring your cell phones.

I find the OBiTALK Web Portal much more complicated and cumbersome to use than simply configuring the OBi directly by logging into the IP address returned by dialing ***1. Consequently, I never use the OBiTALK Web Portal.
There's also a much better mechanism to use than Circle-of-Trust:
Single-Stage Dialing Through Any OBi Trunk
If you should decide to configure the OBi directly (you MUST use one method or the other, not both), you must also set:
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
ot the OBiTALK Web Portal will overwrite any changes you make directly.

Just so you know, RonR's view of the OBiTALK portal is probably a minority viewpoint. There is an ongoing thread on the pros and cons (in which RonR has been strangely silent) here:
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=2932.0
The one thing to remember about using the portal, is that if either of the checkboxes next to a setting are checked, you must uncheck them, submit the page, and then you can change the value. I think perhaps this is a safety measure to keep people from accidentally making unintentional changes.
