Using Google Voice for Long Distance and Local Carrier for Local Calls
tavie888:
Hello ianobi,
Thanks for your reply. I also appreciate your explanation on the difference in purposes between that of DigitMap and InboundCallRoute.
I wish Obihai improve their user manual accordingly and also add more practical examples on the use of "configuration rules", for lack of a better term.
Cheers!
:)

Thanks so much for the replies! Actually I did not erroneously put the exclamation mark there, I thought I had to because I was under the impression that the overlapping 1 xxx xxx xxxx and 1 8xx xxxx would rule each other out... as they say "never assume" lesson learned ;D
As for testing, I have a funny story to share, might as well do it here... This morning, our landline was out, we picked up the phone, got a Busy tone. So I plugged back the original setup, line to phone, same thing! Busy tone.
My husband FURIOUS, that is what happens when you monkey with things, why do you have to be such a geek, leave things alone, NOW you have done it....................... actually he didn't say any of those things (he is sweet) but I'm sure he thought all that ;D
Anyway, he tested all the wires as far as he could, tried different setups, NOTHING! Still no dial tone, just the busy signal.
So I FINALLY started a chat session with Telus, our provider... what was the case? They are having a major outage! :o It wasn't my fault at all ::) Anyway, I can't test things right now, we are waiting for things to get back to normal, and have our phone plugged in directly for the time being.
I'll let you know when I have been able to test things, in the meantime, thanks again for your help! :-*
PS Yes we do have a second SP which is FreePhoneLine, I am not sure yet what to use it for but probably not for international calls. I just added that as an example :)

Keep on geeking - your husband will appreciate the cost savings ;)
One thing to watch out for: If you cut and paste DigitMaps from here, then watch out for spaces creeping in; OBi really does not like spaces in its DigitMaps.

And sometimes when the digit map is on multiple lines it will only paste the first line. You may have to do it one line at a time to get it all in there. And as ianobi said, watch out for spaces or in call routes make sure the commas at in there.

Thanks so much for all your help! This is up and running now ;D
I'm sure I will have more questions :D
