Connecting obi 110 to landline device and transferring call

(1/2) > >>

nsandip:
Hi,

I have a landline which I want to connect to VOIP network (Not disconnect it). Is it possible to connect local PSTN line to obihai and transfer the local incoming call on VOIP network and use call forwarding feature to transfer the call to my cell phone.

I currently use Obihai 110. Can anyone suggest if this is possible and what confirguration is needed.

Thanks

nsandip – welcome to the forum.

If I understand correctly, you are talking about “call forwarding” all calls received on the Line Port (PSTN) via a voip provider to your cell phone number.

You can achieve this in various ways – using Star Codes, using Line Port Calling Features or modifying the Line Port InboundCallRoute. I would suggest the last option is the most practical.

Assuming that you have a voip provider on sp1:

Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > InboundCallRoute:
{ph,sp1(12222222222)}

Where 12222222222 is your cell phone number.

This will ring the OBi110 phone and your cell phone number. The first device to answer the call will be connected to the incoming call on the Line Port.

Rick:
I would expect that your landline has a capability to call forward.  *72 (or #72 in some areas) followed by the number.  *73 (or #73 in some areas) to unforward.  This MIGHT be a feature that you have to turn on.  It may, or may not, be included in the service you already pay for.

ianobi,

Ian your understanding is correct. When you say physical interface it is configuration in obihai device?

I can get get the voip provider. With my current PSTN, I can not set call forward or it is costly hence I am trying to convert this line to VOIP.

Can you please suggest what exact steps I need to follow? My telephony system knowledge is basic.

Thanks

Make the changes via the OBi Expert Configuration pages. From your OBi Dashboard, click on your OBi number and follow the prompts to get there. To change a value uncheck both boxes to the right of the value and leave them unchecked. After changing the values on one page, press submit at the bottom of the page and wait a few minutes for the OBi to reboot.

This is how it looks now:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > InboundCallRoute:
ph

Change it to:
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > InboundCallRoute:
{ph,sp1(12222222222)}

Where 12222222222 is your cell phone number.
