Caller ID Name

<< < (2/2)

dealyanodeal:
just a thought....maybe obi should provide  this if it let us maintain a caller id list on obitalk.Users can maintain a contact list on obitalk with names and number. As all incoming calls are parsed through obi so while parsing they can get the callr name if it is in the contact list and forwrd it to to phone.  will only work for numbers in contact list but better than nothing.
will be a nice feature.

dealyanodeal,

Hi,

I think only OBi to OBi calls might go throught the OBi servers at the beginning of the call. I don't think SIP calls to the OBi unit ever go through the OBi server. That really limits the usefulness caller lookup in the OBi server. Only othe OBi callers will show CID name.

I called the phone attached to my OBi unit using the OBi app. The phone shows Obi as the Caller name, and the 9 digit ObiAPP number as the Caller number.

RonR:
The only thing the OBiTALK portal/server/whatever should get involved with is things like configuration assistance.  Any features the OBi has should be on the OBi itself.  If (heaven forbid) anything ever happens to Obihai and the OBi relies on their servers for anything other than configuration assistance, you could end up with a unit that's severely crippled or even totally non-functional.  I fear OBi-to-OBi features are already at risk (it's hard to know how much so with no protocol details available).  If all advertised features reside in the OBi itself, you may have to break down and read the manual, but at least your OBi will still be fully functional in Obihai's absence.

on an incoming call,wondering if atleast google/xmpp chat client in Obi can match the number against name in its own google contacts and provide the name on the phone display.
CC has a similar feature: if the number is there in my CC address book, it will pass the name accordingly.
