What about 911?? Your Obi can call a Local Emergency Number when you dial 911
ruel:
thanks. understood. i think. but that two-second pause scenario could be a problem if someone is somewhat incapacitated and having problems punching in 9-1-1 quickly. i can imagine that happening if someone had a stroke or some other sudden medical health problem but was still somewhat able to coherently dial 9-1-1 but really really really slowly. i'm guessing that's what was being talked about in that other discussion that you mentioned. oh, without my knowing anymore about how this is implemented on the OBi, my guess is this speed dial is not even operational on the OBi if you haven't set it up in the first place on the OBi (and therefore not a problem)?? lol, probably just TMI as far as i'm concerned.
i would probably be more concerned about this if my parents were here and something like that happened and if i wasn't around. geez, if my parents were here, i would probably not be using this OBi and instead would be using the Ooma to avoid these configuration issues and other tech-head problems. lol
oh, related to this with the 911 and the 411, i've put in the 411 rule in the OutboundCallRoute as described by you for calling BING-411. i didn't put in the 411 in the DigitMap and therefore got the delay before it connects. i'm thinking that's not too big of a deal to leave out unless if i get annoyed with the delay, because as far as i'm concerned the less changes that i make then the less chance of me screwing things up. lol. anyways, i was thinking about putting in something like a 111 rule for calling out to my parents' phone number, and a 222 rule for someone else's phone number, etc. i mention this because a recent problem that i have within the last few years, i would assume others have this problem also, is that people have been switching phone numbers, or going only with cell numbers, or switching to some sort of voip service, and therefore the landline numbers that i've long since have had memorized for years are no longer good. i could always pull up the number in the directory on the phone, but i'm thinking something like a 111 or 222 or 333 would be good to implement on my OBi. this is probably nothing new and that people must have already done this on their OBi's and because it's similar to punching in an extension number to call another phone in an office. sorry if this is like old news to other people reading this. lol
oh, have to ask this newbie question: if i upgrade the firmware, will these 911 and 411 settings be lost? or are the settings saved somewhere on the OBi and away from wherever any new firmware is installed? i haven't bothered to upgrade the firmware, except for the first time when i first set up my OBi last month, but if i were to update the firmware, i would like to know if settings don't just go away.

ruel,
upgrading the firmware will not affect your changes.

Do you think he's been waiting almost 11 months for that answer? ;D

Maybe. I read every post that comes on the board. Perhaps not every day and at times it has been months between.
