Using Google Voice to only make calls, not receive them. (OBi config only)
sfruski:
I've searching a bit and can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.
Setup:
OBi100
SIP1: Google Voice account
SIP2: SIP to physical number.
Goal:
SIP1: Make calls.
SIP2: Receive calls.
Further Information:
I have GrooveIP setup on my android phone, which I use as my primary phone.
Making and receiving calls from the OBi100 works correctly. My calls go out over Google Voice. A received call is forwarded from Google Voice to the SIP physical number.
However I would like to have the OBi sign into Google Voice only to make a call. This would allow my GrooveIP account to stop being signed out. The setting might be as simple as turning off a "keep alive", but I want to know the exact setting before I start playing with it.
Is this possible, and how?
Thanks for the help.

I can't come up with a specific solution but Obi might have a solution to your problem on the Obi202 test firmware. They are calling it "Google Voice Multi-Ring". Perhaps it will move to the other Obi devices after they are done testing it.
In my understanding of the way the current Obi works it will stay connected to Google chat all of the time if you use Google Voice. You can stop forwarding calls to Google Chat in the Google Voice interface but that does not stop the Obi from connecting to Google chat. You can confirm this by checking your Google chat status. You can also verify this by checking the Obi interface.
Because it uses xmpp to connect to Google Voice many of the SIP settings probably don't apply.
I recommend you start a feature request to along the lines of:
Connect to Google Voice for outgoing calls only.

sfruski,
Welcome.
1) Remove the default seting of "ph" at the end of this section:
SP1=GV
Voice Services->SP1 Service->X_InboundCallRoute = leave blank
All incoming calls don't have anywhere to go.
or
2) In the GV setting (web page), don't define any forwarding to Google CHAT.

So I'm going to piggy-back on this question... Mine is only slightly different.
I'm trying to get my father hooked up with an obi110 but alas, GV doesn't serve his local area. So, I need to do something like CallCentric for receiving calls and GV for making calls, to keep the price down. He'd like to port his current landline number.
I assume the following:
1. it can be done... looking at list, I can select primary outgoing as SP1 (GV)
2. E911, if dialed, WON'T go out on SP1 if SP2 has the "911" box checked
3. He can have GV send his 'receiving' number as CID number
Is there anything that I'm missing?

What do you mean "alas, GV doesn't serve his local area"? Where does he live?
1)
2)You dial 911, not E911. 911 calls will go out on the line that you setup for 911 calls. If it's GV, you won't get E911 service. If it's Callcentric and you setup E911 for Callcentric, it will get E911 service. You can setup your 911 calls to go out on SP1 or SP2.
3)Nope. If you make Calls on GV, you send the GV number. No ifs, ands or buts.
