Above is from my Google Voice billing history.
Call #1 & #3: I must have left out a digit and dialed just 9 digits... call went to Somalia, billed at 53 cents/minute. I probably realized it too late and the call went through. I remember on call #3, there was a recording of some type of weird music.
Call #2: I used my cordless phone's redial button. Unfortunately, the number that I dialed was going to an office and I had to press "3" and "1" to get to the person. My cordless phone's redial remember the whole 10-digit number plus the 3 and 1 at the end. When it redialed, it dialed 25232**56531. Not sure why it also went to Somalia.
That's what I'm confused... I didn't dial "011" in any of those 3 calls... so how did the call go through as int'l calls?

This is one of those cases where something like VOPI.MS works well. You can specifically block country by country or allow only certain countries.
Of course a wrong number may only cost you a few cents, but some countries are dollars to call a mobile number.
OOPS! I meant VOIP.MS a Voip provider.

I'm still a newbie to this... what is a VOPI.MS? :)
I think the best solution is to completely block int'l calling on my Google Voice
via Obi110. (except for two countries that I frequently call: Germany and UK)
Of course, I also need domestic U.S. calling as well. :)
Is there a way to selectively block out all countries except two?
Thanks! :)

That would seem to indicate GV's international dialing rules are broken. People will be complainig it in the GV Product Forums if this is happening.
Check into the call histiory in your Obi, see if it confirms the no "011" prefix?
I'm trying to figure out a barring rule (temporary) that will bar calls to 252x. or 1252x. but allow "1xxxxxxxxxx|" and "<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|".
The only way I can see to do this is "!252xxxxxx|" and "!1252xxxxxx|", note that are six x's after the !252, this bars six digits after 1252 or 252 are dialed, but with the existing rules will allow 10 and 11-digit calls to 1252-nnx-xxxx. "!252xxxxxx|" and "!1252xxxxxx|" go after the "<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|" and before the "011xx."
Factoring in the continuted use of "011xx." means the dial plan for calls to the US 252 area code depend on the inter digit timers and matching rules. So you have to complete the 10 or 11-digit dialing before the timers and matching rules declare a match on the 9-digit "!252xxxxxx" barring rule. This is what you want, the Obi to catch a 9-digit call when you really want to make a 10 or 11-digit call. At least without testing this is how I see it will work.
We'll see if anyone else jumps in here.

onepolarbear,
Lazy way to do it is to program those numbers in the OBi speed dial.
