And I want to be able to do this on a single voip line. In this setup, voip.ms and google voice are used for outgoing calls (termination) only.


Apparently by a single VoIP line, you mean a single telephone set connected to the OBi.  The answer is yes.

Well, considering I've just ordered an OBi202, any configuration information you can provide me would be appreciated.


After I cut the grass, I'll see if I can come up with a starting point for you.

So I want to be able to get cheap long distance access via the OBi202 without using my data plan (and not using wifi). And I want people to be able to call my Fongo voip phone number without getting the voice attendant (if possible) and still being able to leave voice mail.


To be able to make and receive calls through the OBi using your smartphone, your smartphone must communicate somehow with the OBi.  That can be wifi, your data plan, or calling into the OBi using your minutes plan.

The OBi is not involved in any way with voicemail.

Yes, sorry. I mean to say a single telephone line.

There's no rush, but thank you. I probably won't receive the OBi202 until late next week.

Yeah, I am not terribly interested in those options since I can access my Fongo and voip.ms accounts via a sip program on my smartphone anyway.

This is what I am interested in.

I understand the ATA device does not provide the voicemail service. But presumably I have to dial in
using the same phone number I have voice mail service setup on. So how do people (family, friends, etc.) call my Fongo voip phone number without getting the voice attendant--and still have the opportunity to leave voice mail without the voice attendant picking up or activating? Is it possible to trigger the voice attendant through specific incoming phone numbers only? Or is there another solution?
