Verify number from GV on remote Obi
(1/1)
tome:
I have an existing (working) Obi at a remote location. I want to add a new forwarding number to the associated GV account. Google wants to ring the phone there to have me enter two digit verification code. I am trying to think of an easy way to have this call forwarded to either my other (local) Obi, or a my cell phone so I can verify the number.
I tried setting CallForwardUnconditionalNumber and CallForwardUnconditionalEnable in the SP1 Service options but this didn't work. I tried using a cell phone number as well as putting in the local Obi # (prefixed with **9) but neither worked. Not sure why, but is there another way to do what I want?
EDIT: I realized it was SP2 that would be ringing, not SP1. But still adding CallForwardUnconditional* didn't cause the incoming call to be forwarded (for some reason)....

tome:
Attached is the call status when GV tries to call for verification. The incoming call (on SP2) has the Peer Number of my main GV account number (see attachment: Number changed to AAABBBCCCC). Not sure if that matters...

The call was only routed to the Phone port, so recheck the forwarding settings; perhaps they were not saved.
However, I wouldn't push my luck to get DTMF through that path. Just temporarily disable SP2 and set up a softphone or other device at your present location to register to that account. You should then get the verification call directly.

Good idea, thanks. I disabled Callcentric on the Obi and set it up on X-Lite on my computer, verified the number and put everything back.
