Unable to dial in from my forwarded phone - google voice
CoreyT:
So, I have an interesting problem.
I'm an IT professional so I know my way around a computer and understand the logic behind how obihai works. But my issue is that I setup my obihai100 to work with googlevoice and I can make calls OUT just fine and my wife can call the home phone from her personal cell phone. However when I try from my cell phone ( the one attached to the account ) It can't make the connection for some reason.
It USED to go straight to voicemail, but I found out how to change that in the FAQ, but ever since I made that change it just says cannot connect at this time. So obviously my next step was to change the setting back. This didn't fix the issue, it still says that it can't make the connection, but my wife's phone can still call the google voice number just fine.
When I call from my Cell phone:
Female Voice: "We're sorry, your call did not go through. Please try again."
CoreyT:
Google voice advanced settings are as follows: ( for my forwarded cell phone)
Voicemail Access: set to NO
Ring schedule: Always ring weekdays and weekends.
Also I completely uncheck My cell phone as a forwarding phone... so Only google chat is selected as a "Forwards calls to:"
jimates:
The female voice is from google. If you can't call your google voice number from your cell phone (forwarding phone or not) that is a google issue.
have you tried deleting your cell phone from the account and then attempt a call?
CoreyT:
I tried, but because my cell is the only real (non-voip) number associated with the account, google won't let me. The obvious fix to that would be to assign a different number to google voice, but I've been trying to avoid that since it requires the activation and my wife doesn't want google voice associated with her phone.
jimates:
you can add her phone and check to see if you can call from it
delete your phone
add your phone back in, and check to see if things work
delete her phone
