New OBi202 + OBiLine for us, OBi110 will go to parents
ianobi:
Sophia,
1. If you have the 110 and 202 in the same account, then both devices and their softphone numbers will be in each others’ “Circle of Trust” (Even though this does not show under the “Circle of Trust” menu item). This might be what you want, but probably not. Every time you call each other you will get the auto attendant. I would have separate accounts and set up your own “Circle of Trust” as required.
2. Yes, but you may need to take care to define which service is the Primary Line, the one you need no ** codes to dial.
3. Any OBi can call any other OBi directly – dial **9 followed by the nine digit number of the OBi device.
4. This takes some thought. I’m guessing that you want the landline to be the Primary Line so that your parents can carry on dialling their local and Holland national numbers as they do now. This will mean adapting the Line Port DigitMap to suit the local dialling formats. Also, local emergency numbers need to be changed from 911; probably to 112? GV and voip should be ok as set up, but may need to dial ** codes to access them, or set up automatic routing via the Primary Line – more details needed of how your parents will be dialling.
There will be some other minor changes need for Holland to suit the landline. CallerIDDetectMethod and a few other items may need to change, but they should not stop the OBi working – it’s just fine tuning.
Good luck! Let us know more details and we should be able to sort out digit maps etc.
Edit - written before seeing sdb's post, so some duplication!
Sophia:
Thanks so much for all your replies, much appreciated!!
That's exactly what I needed to know, I will definitely set up the two accounts - you are quite right we don't want to be in each other's "circles of trust", not when it comes to Obi anyway lol!
I already set up a GV account for them, after April we'll just pick whatever VOIP is convenient. By that time Google might have loosened up, hopefully :)
You're right about the 911, that should indeed be 112!
Currently, our Canadian LINE setup is like this (thanks to you all) :)

([2-9]11S0|<250>[2-9]xxxxxx|250xxxxxxx|<1:>250xxxxxxx|1800xxxxxxx|188xxxxxxxx|1877xxxxxxx|1866xxxxxxx|1855xxxxxxx|1844xxxxxxx|1833xxxxxxx|1822xxxxxxx|<**1>1[2-79]xxxxxxxxx|<**1>011xx.)
I was thinking my parent's setup could be quite a lot easier, any number they dial should be a landline call, EXCEPT numbers that start with 00 (international code), they should use the VOIP service.
Thanks for all your help, this forum is terrific :)
ianobi:
It seems that geographic numbers in the Netherlands are all ten digits long, but non-geographic can be any length. I suggest this as a first attempt:
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > PrimaryLine: PSTN Line
Voice Service > Auto Attendant > PrimaryLine: PSTN Line
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|112|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|112):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Physical Interfaces > LINE Port > DigitMap:
(<**1>00xx.S4|0[1-7]xxxxxxxx|xx.S4)
Service Providers > ITSP Profile A > General > DigitMap:
(00xx.)
All calls go to PSTN Line except calls starting with “00” which automatically route through sp1. This is very “bare bones” and may need changing depending on how your parents like to dial and the actual voip provider.
Some nerdy info here:

You can also take the easy way out. Leave their phone setup alone. Add the OBi connected to the internet with a "International Phone" plugged into it. No dialing rules, nothing.
Sophia:
Thanks, you both :) Our own 202 will arrive on Monday, after that I'll be able to monkey with the 110. I think I'll try to set it up with their current phones first instead of buying a separate handset, since that is the whole beauty of the 110 :) I have asked many difficult questions here in the past and so far, they were all answered... so I'm not too afraid to try that first ;D
ianobi, it is true that all numbers have 10 digits, except local calls within their town, they are 6 digits long (some towns 7 but that is not relevant here). So I'd almost reverse what you said: any number with 10 or less digits should use PSTN and the rest should be routed through their VOIP (GV, until April, after that we'll find something).
