Inbound GV calls produce a tone like POTS call waiting tone

dircom:
when you pick up the phone do you hear a "stutter" dial tone?

I checked for messages and texts, but nothing there.  Any other ideas?


My theory is that it is a call waiting tone. You have GV set to ring both your wire phone and your OBi. The first to pick up the call gets the call.

To get rid of the tone, turn off call forwarding to your wireline on GV. https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165221?hl=en

If my theory is correct, you will probably see both calls coming in in your OBi100 call history.

Dircom, thanks for stutter tone terminology, I could not confirm by example, but I think is the tone I was hearing.

Shale you were correct.  As soon I unchecked the POTS line box under Google Voice --> Settings --> Forward calls to the stutter tone went away.

So how does Google Voice know to route the Google Voice number to OBi110?

Shale:


http://www.obihai.com/FAQ.html and see the top link on the left. You did that stuff, and that's how your GV gets to the OBi.

The stutter dialtone is a sound you would hear instead of regular dialtone before you dial the first digit.
