Going on vacation: can Obi 110 forward all landline calls to GV voicemail?

<< < (2/2)

MichaelW:
Just to add that I also found it useful to set RingDelay to 16000 milliseconds, to give someone a chance to answer a call if they should need to, on an old battery-less corded phone connected direct to the landline.

The corded phone also gives my friend a reliable way to make an emergency call while I am gone, even in a power outage.

Edit: slightly unexpected (but probably predictable), the phone connected to the Obi 110 no longer rings after setting a long RingDelay. For now, I am covered by the ringing of the corded phone not connected to the Obi, but that is not ideal. I'd like the Obi to wait a while before forwarding to the GV account where the voicemail should go, but it would be nice if the attached phone rang during this time so a person in the house could pick up.

Does anyone know another way to insert this delay, and leave the connected phone ringing? I can always turn off the phone's ringer if that is not what I should want while my friend is staying.

MichaelW:
There's a problem with setting {SP1(xxxxxxxxxx)} as the InboundCallRoute for the LINE Port: the GV account receiving the voicemail then assigns the GV SP1 account as the caller number on ALL messages, in other words you lose the original caller's number.

By reseting the InboundCallRoute to {LI1(1xxxyyyzzzz)}, the forwarding call goes out on the landline and the original caller is properly recognized by the GV voicemail.
