make obi100 ring on my cell??
Lina:
Again,
GV for Canadians doesn't allow those options unless you have a U.S. # which will then allow you to use GV full fledge options.
My concern about this is:
what happens when GV is no longer free?....yet another config?!

None of what I listed, except for switching GV from showing the caller's number or GV's number, is related to GV. The rest of it is your cell company.
As far as what to do when it's not free, we ported our home number to GV a year ago, and if I ever have to port it again I will. Again, I have no idea about number porting in Canada, Australia, or Greece... ;)

I have come to the conclusion that the Obi100 is just like any other ATA adapter other than the use of GV, but if you live in Canada like I do where GV isn't available for your cell, then the like I said...
the obi is just another adapter!
I'm so peeved! The main reason I got the obi was for the one number accessibility, only to learn later that GV isn't available here. :(
Sure I can make my obi # ring on my cell # - but that just incurs charges on my cell carrier #, so what's the difference?!
I thought if I had an unlimited incoming calling plan with my carrier then I could simply make outgoing calls using the Obion, but that app sucks!!
ughhhh! what a waste of time! >:(

Doing research prior to buying is always good...

My understanding is that you want to ring your cell phone whenever your Obi receives an incoming call. If this is the case then you will have to edit the X_InboundCallRoute setting for
all the voice services you want to have calls ringing your cell #.
You can find this under:
Voice Services -> SPn -> X_InboundCallRoute
Voice Services -> Obitalk -> X_InboundCallRoute.
At the end of the string of that parameter there is normally a "{ph}" part. You should replace
that part with:
{ph, SPn(12345678912)}
If lets say you do the above for SP1, then whenever you get an incoming call on your SP1 voice service, it will ring your directly attached phone device, and it will also fork a call to ring
the phone with number 12345678912 and this forked call will be placed over your service provider SPn
The thing to keep in mind is that the number you specify for forking the call should include
any prefixes that your service provider may require. So if you use Voxbeam, you need to
add the "0011101" prefix infront of the above number.
You will have to set the X_InboundCallRoute for all the service providers you want to have
calls forked to your desired cell phone #.
I have been using this approach during international travel to ring my european mobile #, whenever
someone calls my GV #. It's extremely convenient as the US callers do not need to incur
international charges to reach me, and more importantly they don't even need to know what
international number to reach every time I travel.
