missed 1 digit when dialing US number 252- and I got connected to Somalia(252)!
azrobert:
It looks like GV doesn't require 011 to dial International Calls and just requires a valid country code.
Change your DigitMap to:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
The Obi will now reject any international calls without 011.
Edit:
I did it again.
ianobi already gave you the DigitMap fix.
carl:
There is e very simple solution to this problem which may save you some money- stop using GV for international calls. Sign up and set up Localphone.com as a second provider on your Obi110 ( you will have to dial **2) which has far better rates than GV and many other interesting features and services and you are all set. :)
lhm.:
+1 for Carl's idea. Also includes a free UK DID/CallerID
Otherwise, numba onepolarbear should have numba twopolarbear do the dialing. ;D
onepolarbear:
thanks for EVERYONE who replied! I really appreciate the help.
in the end, I took the advice and changed my setting
to (1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.)
Just tested it... now my call doesn't go to Somalia (252) :)
It just occured to me that some pirates out there may
have gotten my call in the last month or two. :D :D :D
Thanks again! :)

It's amazing that Google Voice doesn't require the 011 prefix before routing a call as international. This is probably by design so Google can fleece folks that make a mistake in dialing.
I tried dialing my iNum 8835100xxxxxxxx through Google Voice from the OBi110 and the call went through.
In this case 883 is the "Global" or "Earth" country code and 5100 is iNum (Voxbone). Obviously there's enough digits that it's not a U.S. number. The call goes through when the iNum is prefixed with 011 as well. This is probably by design so Google can fleece folks that make a mistake in dialing. You could ask for a credit from Google for the erroneously dialed calls. Imagine if the PSTN networks suddenly removed the 011 prefix requirement for international calls and decided to route calls international if the area code happened to match a country code and the number of digits dialed was a bit short or long for a U.S. call.
I don't maintain a $ balance with Google Voice... and now I know why. I think Lavarock7 meant voip.ms (not vopi.ms). Voip.ms is a real voip company (well as real as it could be, run by a bunch of Canadians). Voip.ms has a lot of granularity when limiting international calls including allowing only specific countries and a maximum acceptable per minute rate that applies across the board (which helps prevent getting a surprise when dialing certain "toll" type numbers or inflated cell phones).
Updated: Repositioned a line of text to clarify what I think I meant and corrected a typo.
