SOLVED: Half the time I place a call on PSTN I get SPRINT recording?
HowardZ:
Hi,
I am having fun playing with my Obi110.
I currently have the following problem.
I pick up the handset on my telephone and make a phone call - it is going over my PSTN plain old telephone copper wires. Half the time the call goes through, but the other half of the time I get a recording from Spring long distance.
Sprint is my long distance company here (in the USA).
I figure something is wrong with some default parameter in the Obi110?
Any ideas?
P.S. I am not trying to make any long distance calls. Just regular 10 digital local calling, and half the time I make such a call via the OBi110 I get a recording from Spring and not the number I am calling.

HowardZ,
Welcome.
You can check the call history to see what the OBi sees you dialing. Perhaps you can spot something unusual there. Look here:
Status
System Status
Call Status
Call History <- here
HowardZ:
good idea.
I cleared the call history, and placed 4 calls to my Verizon cell phone.
The first 3 calls went through, and the 4th went to a SPRINT recording.
Then I looked in the call history, and there are only 3 calls.
So, this call that goes awry does not make it into the call history.
I was wondering if some delays or tone timing might be causing it?
BTW, I do have call-waiting service on the PSTN.
Howard

You are pressing the flash hook, #, Prefixing the call with **8 or unintentionally making the call over a 3way call forcing the OBi to let go of the call handling to the POTS line?

I have the PHONE Port: PrimaryLine set to PSTN Line, to keep things as transparent as possible for my wife.
I just pick up the telephone handset and dial a number - and it works at least half of the time.
Maybe I should cancel the call-waiting?
We never use it. It's a waste of money. And maybe it is causing this problem?
