How do I specify which SP to send star codes to? (re: voicemail)

(1/2) > >>

sofakng:
I'm testing a few things but here is my current setup:

SP1: Google Voice
SP2: CallCentric

I'm using SP1 (GV) for outgoing, and SP2 for incoming.

SP2 (CallCentric) has voicemail accessible by pressing *123.  However, if I press *123 it gets sent to GV since that's my default outgoing line.

How can I keep SP1 (GV) my default outgoing, but change only certain numbers (i.e. *123) to be sent to SP2?

EDIT:  Actually, I'm a little confused.  When I press a built-in OBI code like *78 (Do Not Disturb), does that get forward to my SIP provider or does turn on a "local" do not disturb mode for all lines?

CoalMinerRetired:
**1 = SP1
**2 = SP2
**3 = SP3
**4 = SP4
**3 and **4 for Obi202/302 only.

**8 = Blue Tooth Phone (Obi202 and Obi302 only), or the Line Port on an Obi110
**9 = Obitalk Service

This is sort of documented under Outbound Call Route Configuration in the device config manual.

Try dialing **2 then *123.

The 'star codes' are processed by the "local" Obi unit.  That's why the **2 *123 above might now work. Easiest way is to try it first and report back if it doesn't work. I seem to recall other threads on the same subject.

infin8loop:
**2*97 works for me for voip.ms on SP2.   ITSP Profile B DigitMap contains |*97|  

However I find it more convenient to have speed dials configured to check voice mail:  

Speed Dial 1: **1nnnnnnnnnn    nnnnnnnnnn = google voice number to get voice mail

Speed Dial 2: **2*97               for voip.ms voice mail

Then I just dial 1# or 2#.  They relate to SP1 and SP2.  If you use the OBiTALK portal to configure then speed dial 1 is forced to that pesky softphone which messes up the logical thinkiing of 1 for SP1 and 2 for SP2. I configure locally, otherwise I might use speed dials 11 and 12 to keep something logical.

Modify to your provider codes.

Thanks for the information...

I did see that **1 and **2 will first choose an SP, and then you enter star codes for that SP, but I was hoping for a shortcut.

Example:

Instead of:  **2*123, just press *123 and have the OBI automatically send it to SP2.  I guess this isn't possible (or easy?)

"Then I just dial 1# or 2#"

As infin8loop suggested, it couldn't be ay easier than this.
