How does OBI110 work with an analog phone line and a voip line?

For example, Callcentric does, easily, via their 1-777-xxxx internal numbers, just like OBi's network. I have no idea if it's blocked in China, though.
yeah good idea, you could use proxies you can find some at http://proxy-zone.net or add "https" before link. ;))

Hello callussun,
Since I often stay in China and Hong Kong, I have already installed two OBi110 devices in each area with different GV accounts.
For the China one, the GV works perfect without any problem except the voice quality is not as good as your are in the US.
However, I am not able to access the google voice website when I am in China. I have to use VPN to connect my Hong Kong VPN server to access the google voice website.
Concerning the settings of your mother's Obi110 is:
1) Set the primary line (trunk) as the LINE port
2) Configure SP1 as the GV account
3) Configure SP2 to other SIP account if necessary (for instance ET263, such that your mother can make all domestic calls at RMB 0.07 doller per minute.
Dialling preferences if the callroute and digitmap have been set correctly.
1) To make China local area call using the local fixed PSTN line: <7- or 8-digit telephone number>
2) To make China local distance call using the local fixed PSTN line: 0 + <other city area code> + <local telephone number>
3a) Speed dial to your OBi110 installed in the US using the OBiTalk: <OBi Speed-dial number>
In most cases, the speed-dial 1 is the OBiAPP, speed-dial 2 for your US OBi110, speed-dial 3 for China OBi110. With these speed-dial definition, your mother just pickup the telephone and press the number 2 button, your US OBi110 telephone will ring.
3b) Use the OBitalk standard way by pressing your OBi number of your US OBi110
<**9> + <9-digit OBi number>
4) If your are not at home, you may forward your mother's call to your other phone such as mobile phone or office phone numbers OR ask your mother to make another US call by using
<**1> + <your US telephone number>
If SP2 is configured as ET263 account, then use the following way to make China domestic phone call
<**2> + 0 + <area code> + <telephone number>
Should you need any help in setting up the OBi110 in China, please let me know. May I know which city that your mother lives?

i just setup obi for my mom and my uncle in china. my setup uses 3 obi's:
obiONE (in US at my house)
Setup obitalk account for this device. This is my obi right out of the box with Google Voice setup on SP1 and SP2.
obiTWO (in US at my mom's house)
Setup obitalk account for this device. This obi is right out of the box with Google Voice setup on SP1 (not necessary).
obiTHREE (sent to China)
Setup obitalk account for this this device. This obi is right out of the box.
Steps:
1) under obitalk for obiONE, i add obitalk of obiTHREE to My Circle of Trust
2) under obitalk for obiTHREE i setup speed dial #3 to obiTWO (**9xxx), speed dial #8 to obiONE (**9xxx)
3) under obitalk for obiTWO i setup speed dial #3 to obiTHREE (**9xxx)
After each party adds a phone to their obi and connecting their obi to their broadband, everything should work. obiTWO and obiTHREE call each other by dialing 3#. obiTHREE can call any USA/Canada phone number by dialing 8*xxx (xxx is the 10 digit USA/Canada phone number) without going through obiONE's auto-attendant. This routes their calls to USA/Canada through my obiONE's GV account.
Note: I use 3 obi's not just because there are 3 locations. i'm assuming that GV does not work outside the US. Even if it works temporarily, it may get cutoff at anytime. With my obiONE, anyone in My Circle of Trust can route their USA/Canada phone calls through my obi's GV. However, if they ever dial directly to my obi to talk to me (**9), they must go through obiONE's auto-attendant. this is fine for English speakers who can follow simple instructions but its a hassle for some elderly and non-English speakers.
Originally I had setup a fixed IP for obiTHREE. That was a mistake since the gateway for China side is unknown. I had to get my uncle to do an obi reset to get it back to factory DCHP enabled.
