Thanks for the suggestions but I was really hoping to avoid the first phone call by using some sort of website, sms, or even a PC app that you just need to click a button and have it call a specified number. OBiAPP is not really what I'm looking for though I will play around with it a bit more and see what I can do.
Looks like this option is not going to work, I've set up OBiAPP with X-Lite as suggested on the web site with no problem. speed dial #2 presented me with the trusted caller menu and any time I try to make a selection it does not notice that I've pushed a number.

I've found something pretty interesting and thought I'd share. I have two Gmail accounts and when I log into my secondary one (the one without GV) it shows my primary account as "Voice only". When I call it my phone starts to ring and shows my secondary Gmail ID on the caller id of my phone. I then added the Gmail id as a trusted caller and tried again.... This time it looks like I picked up but I cant hear anything. I then type 3 and hit enter and it says "OBI OK" so then I do 4# and hit enter and it hung up on me. a minute later my cell phone is ringing!
Andrew's new status message - Voice Only 2:24 PM
me: 3
Andrew: OBi OK
me: 4#
Andrew: OBi OK
Andrew ended the voice chat at 2:25 PM.
I think I can work with the above though it would be great to see obihai implement something like this into their software!

You could try the following:
Use a different softphone with the OBiApp.
I like Phonerlite or 3CX with a PC.
or
You can register your softphone on VOIP.ms as a subaccount. I don't have a VOIP.ms account, but I assume you can call your main account from the subaccount and be connected to the Phone Port or the AA.

I do not have a PSTN line I just have voip.ms (SP1) and Google voice (SP2) but this is interesting idea! I'll have to play around with this but like drgeoff said the incoming number is not always the same (I live in Canada). I'm not sure if this is because of the calling card or what but maybe I can use x.12222222 so it does not have to be an exact match?
No problem - it works fine on any InboundCallRoute. Using x.12222222 is also fine, so long as you are picking numbers that are likely to only select your dad's number. However, if the calls come in with slightly differing numbers, then don't us the ($) format. ($) calls back whatever digits it received as CallerID. Use:
-> InboundCallRoute:
{(x.12222222):aa(0114412212222222)},{ph}
Where 0114412222222222 is the exact number you would dial from the phone port to call your dad. If you don't wish the auto attendant to use its Primary Line, then simply put a star code in front such as:
-> InboundCallRoute:
{(x.12222222):aa(**20114412212222222)},{ph}

Thanks azrobert, I have a sub account on my cell phone and I can call that extension for free and get it to call me back easily enough so this is definitely an option.

I have this set up using my cell phone number though it took a little of messing around to get it to work how I want it to work. I call my GV number and hang up, AA calls me back with my Voip.MS number and it then calls out using my GV number!
