# not working like it used to..any advice??
Raff:
A while back I asked how do I connect to my regular POTS line from an OBI 110, the answer was simple "hit the #" and dial. Also this worked if I was on my cordless phone and needed to use my corded (it's connected to the Obi) while on a call I'd just hit the # sign and I could hang up the cordless and be on the corded.
Today...I can make a call from the Obi phone using my POTS line by hitting the # sign and dialing but if I'm on a call on my cordless and hit the # sign on the obi phone I get the message "this service is not available"...what happened??

Every phone will work. Just pickup the one you want to switch to. No buttons to push...

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way on my system...My cordless phones will not allow any other cordless phone on the system to pick up if the line is in service..so what I do is go to my obi phone that is also connected to the regular line...hit the # to break into my regular POTS line...then hang up the cordless, because the corded is activated I done lose my call. Then pick up another cordless which will let me break into the corded line...it's weird but it worked before one of the upgrades.

My sister has an At&t cordless set that won't allow another handset to take the line without actually transferring the call to a particular handset.
I understand what you are saying. Since your cordless set would not let you barge in on the call. You would pick up the corded phone and press # to barge in. That put the call on the corded phone so you could hang up the cordless handset without loosing the call. Then you could go to another cordless handset and pickup the call.
I don't know why it would change after a fw update. My sister did not know there was a call transfer feature between the handsets of her system, have you tried using that feature so you could transfer the call between your handsets?
Raff:
I'll look into that transfer feature...I wonder if I need to set my obi to allow barging into a call...I'll definitely look...thanks for the advice.
