Line Port Call Forwarding Assistance

(1/3) > >>

Kings:
Hi, I need some assistance on how to setup call divert on my Obi110 device, I already have the device setup thus:

SPI: Google Voice  – Primary line
SP2: Localphone (VoIP service account)
Line port: My local PSTN telephone line

Now I want to be able to forward all unanswered calls coming through the line port (My PSTN telephone line attached to the obi device), to my Mobile number (050*******) as well as my office number (037******) and have both of them ring at the same time.

I will appreciate it if someone can guide me on how to go about the settings. Thanks in advance.

Since you wish to make two outbound calls at the same time you need to worry about the voip provider you are using to make the calls.  If you wish to setup one call on GoogleVoice (SP1) and the other on LocalPhone (SP2) then fine.  I had trouble in my test when I put them both on the same provider on SP2 or SP1.  That doesn't mean that you can't do it, but it didn't work for me.  It is possible to setup an additional outgoing only voip provider on one of the VoiceGateways. If you have one setup, that works.

I would setup the two numbers in the Line Port InboundCallRoute with a d=[delay-in-seconds] parameter after the number to insert a delay before the trunk makes the call, and then have the two phones ring (after an initial delay) along with the phone attached to the OBi.  The first to answer gets the call.

Setup the Line Port InboundCallRoute like this:
{SP2(mobile#;d=6),SP1(office#;d=6),ph}  

where mobile# and office# are the telephone numbers you wish to dial including the country code if required.

The above setting did not work, besides I already have the following setting in my Line Port InboundCallRoute: {(x.0554171947|x.290072663):aa},{ph},  representing my trusted callers.

Now the fact is that I don't intend to use SP1 or SP2 to forward those calls, if I may then ask, is it not possible to use the line port phone service to place the two outbound calls?

Secondly, if I want to use the line port to make an out going call, how can I go about that?

Thanks.

No, if you have an incoming call coming in on your PSTN line you cannot call forward the call to another number using the PSTN line for the bridged outgoing call.

To make an outgoing call from the analog phone attached to the OBi110 on the PSTN line attached to the Line Port of the OBi110 you can dial # and wait for a PSTN line dial tone.  Another alternative for this type of call is to dial **8 preceeding the number you wish to dial.

Kings:
Thanks a lot, the outgoing call from the analog phone attached to the OBi110 on the PSTN line port is working perfectly well with the # and the **8 formulas. You did not make any further comments regarding the call forwarding that I mentioned did not work. is there no alternative solution?

Thanks.
