Call forward to mutiple numbers?
RonR:
joshhighley,
I'm assuming you're using Google Voice on SP1. ALL calls placed via Google Voice will show the Google Voice number at the receiving end. This is a restriction that Google Voice imposes, not the OBi. Even if SP1 is a VoIP provider, most don't let you set the CallerID on outbound calls. The OBi sends the info, but the service provider ignores it.

joshhighley,
I was able to get Caller name pass using Voip.MS service provider, by enabling X_SpoofCallerID under
Voice Services->SP1 or 2 Service.
Using GV to forward call, I get the GV CID number as the Caller ID. The ability to send the CID name or number might be a SP related issue. Voip.MS passed the calling party Caller Name with the CID number I setup in my account with them, so I get both calling party Caller Name and my own configurable CID number on the call. I set it up this way: {ph,SPx(1514577XXXX)}
This is the CDR of Voip.ms:
Date CallerID Destination Description
3/29/2011 16:32 "PIQXXX J" '514324XXXX' 514316XXXX Inbound DID
3/29/2011 16:32 "PIQXXX J" '514232XXXX' 1514577XXXX Canada - 514 Quebec
Caller calling = 514232XXXX
CF number = 1514577XXXX
CID of calling party = 514324XXXX
DID Voip.MS =514316XXXX
Summary: This is what showed on the phone as CID
Caller Name = PIQXXX J
Caller ID number = 514232XXXX <---This is a number I configured in the Voip.MS config to show as the CID number. It is the number people call me on. I did not want people to see a number that they did not recognize. It over rides the Voip.MS DID number of 514316XXXX, which is actual number making the call. I know it is a bit confusing.
Simultaneous ring actually starts ringing after the second ring. Phone attached to OBi rings first, then all the phones ring on the second ring. This feature might be used to ring the phone at the office and another one in the home. Similar to the Wizard on the OBi portal.

I got it to work using the info on pages 114 & 115 in the admin guide. It was a simple edit, I just had to figure out how to separate the terminals.
Voice Service > SP1 > InboundCallRoute = {ph,pp(200xxxxxx)}
Phones on Obi # 1 rings one time before the phones on Obi #2 start ringing. Caller id on Obi #2 shows as Obi #1 number/Device Display Name.
Is there a way to pass the caller id from the incoming call through to Obi #2.
original question
Possible for Simultaneous Ring on both my Obi110's?
all incoming calls on Obi #1 sp1, forked to Obi #2 via Obitalk. Default settings on Obi #2 should ring the phone port already.
I have an Obi110 with multi handset cordless phones for our main home use. Google Voice set up on sp1.
I have a 2nd Obi110 with multi handset cordless phones for my kids. 2 Goolge Voice accounts set up.
I want calls coming in on my sp1 to ring simultaneous to the kid's Obi phone port so that they will be able to answer all incoming calls on both Obis.
I could fork the calls to their GV numbers but that would also make their forwarding phones ring, which I don't want. I only want their home phones to ring, which are connected to the phone port of their Obi.
I figure forwarding the calls through Obitalk might work, as the default settings on their end would not need any changes.
Total info for config purposes
Obi #1 has 2 GV accounts but I only want to fork the calls coming in on sp1
Obi #2 has 2 GV accounts but the forked calls should ring the phone port by default.
I have a netTalk duo split and connected to both Line Ports for 911 purposes.

When I fork the call to my second Obi, is there a way to pass the caller id from the incoming call through to Obi #2, instead of it showing the Obi #1 name/number.

jimates,
Hi
obi-support2 mentions something about passing the CID number.

OBi passes both, name and number, from the original call, if X_SpoofCallerID is yes.
ITSP however might not take it, and may reject the call all together. That's why
this is option depending on your ITSP.
However, using the SP2(xyz > abc) syntax in an InboundCallRoute, it can only spoof the number; we currently don't have a syntax for spoofing a name this way.
Also, even when we spoof it, the ITSP can selectively take the name or number part as they please and present the call to the final destination.
You have more control if the "ITSP" is a PBX (like Asterisk) for example. I do not expect this option to be very useful for a general commercial ITSP.
