OBi110 and Callwaiting CallID on Incoming Calls while on the line
Everton:
Is there any way to get the CallerID on a new incoming call when there is a call in progress? When I'm on the phone and a second call comes in, I hear the callwaiting beeps/tones to alert me of an incoming call, but I'm not getting a CallerID (number) of the incoming calls. Is there a setting I'm missing that can enable the CallerID? I'm using the OBi110 with GV on SP! and Anveo on SP2 and I'm using a VTech Cordless Phone. Current Software Version is: 1.3.0 (Build: 2744). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Frustrating as the default IS Call Waiting Caller ID Enable. Tried different caller-id boxes, too.
Everton:
Sent a support request to OBiSupport regarding the above issue and this was their response:
The OBi is sending out a Call Waiting CallerID. If you don't see it on your
handset, that means the handset is NOT capable of displaying Call waiting
CallerID. This function is supported by a limited number of handset,
please try to use a different cordless phone that has this capability.

Was not aware that only a limited number of Handsets are capable of "Call Waiting CallerID" It was my understanding that once a Handset can display CallerID, it should by extension, be able to do Call Waiting CallerID. Has anyone heard of this before and can anyone point me to some models of Cordless Phones which has this capability? Thx

Panasonic. Call Waiting Deluxe (aka Type II callerID with disposition options.)

The reply from Obi ignored the real problem.
The problem is not that caller-id doesn't work,
Call Waiting Caller-Id doesn't work, a totally different function.
If it works when the phone is On-hook, then the Obi is not sending compatible Off-hook signals.
