hi,
i configured my obi with gv on sp1. added a phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx without the dashes) under trusted callers (obitalk site). when i call my gv number from the above phone number, obi doesn't answer. how do i get obi to answer and go into aa so that i can make a 2-stage dialing? tia
Is your google voice set up to display the caller id from the incoming call, or is it set to display your GV number?
this is a simple set up on the Obi and should work correctly as you described the set up. If you have used the web portal to the Obi did you disable auto provisioning? Auto provisioning has to be enabled in order for settings from the Obitalk portal to be configured.
Check the call history on your Obi and make sure the correct caller id was received. You can also see where the Obi routed the call to.
Kaizer:
auto provisioning is set to periodically. is that good?
i did a long power cycle and that fixed the issue. so now when i call from a phone number that is in my trusted caller, i go straight into AA. but i discovered another issue. when i remove a number from trusted caller, obi now blocks calls from that number (a long long silence then a busy tone).

Auto Provisioning allows the OBiTALK configuration facility to update your OBi, if necessary, on every reboot. To configure using the OBiTALK facility, you must have Auto Provisioning enabled and you must not make any changes locally/manually to the OBi itself as they will be overwritten on the next reboot. If you prefer to configure the OBi locally/manually, you must disable Auto Provisioning.

From another Obi device,
The Obi device has to belong to the circle of trust for the other one in order to access it's service.
Single stage dialing from one device to another is accomplished by using a speed dial setting. You put the Obi device in your speed dial list and then append that speed dial location with * before the desired number.
example: obi in speed dial location 2. Press 2* + 10 digit # to dial direct through the second Obi using it's configuration.
this will be most popular for overseas calling.
i got this part working by going Obi device to Obi device. but how come it can't be as simple as using ObiON where you just punch in the 10 digit phone number once you've gotten ObiTalk to reroute to the Obi device with the outgoing call service? ie calling a USA number by just picking Phone attached to Obi and punching in the 10 digit number instead of Speed dial to remote Obi * 10 digit phone number.
i would think you should be able to configure Obi device with SP1 as remote Obi device (which is already configured with sp1 configured with GV).

it is almost as simple, just 2 more buttons to press in the dialing sequence.
Obi 1 must be in the COT of Obi 2.
Put Obi 2 number in the speed dial list of Obi 1 (example, speed dial 4).
Pick up the phone attached to Obi 1 and dial 4 * xxx xxx xxxx
The call goes out from Obi 2 on the default line.
With the Obion app you assign an Obi as a default gateway. In relationship, when dialing direct through another Obi, you select the Obi you want to dial through by pressing the assigned speed dial number + *.
If both devices are in the same account you don't have to worry with the COT, and the numbers will also already be assigned in the speed dial list.
