setting priority to answer PSTN when both lines are ringing

<< < (2/2)

satman:
Correct.  I have GV setup to simultaneously ring the landline and I'd prefer to receive calls on the PSTN port.  Because the landline is basic service, there is no caller ID information.  I need to set the Obi to answer the PSTN instead of of the GV line when both lines are ringing. 

Rick:
Satman and Hoosier want callerid from their landline that they don't pay to pass that info.  Can't get it as Giqcass notes without taking other steps, discussed all over the forum. 

Satman wants a simultaneous call on landline and GV for the OBi to answer the landline.  I'm not an expert on all the fancy things you can do with an OBi, but I'd point out that the likelihood that both calls hit EXACTLY at the same time is near zero, hence it's a moot point.  And likely impossible to do. 

satman:
Thanks, Rick.  You're correct.  PSTN calls actually hit a second or two after the GV (SP1) rings.  So if both SP1 and PSTN rings, the default should be to answer the PSTN line.
