Ring Schedule Through Obi

Is it possible to setup a ring schedule through my ObiHai 110?  For my Google Voice number, I'm able to configure through google's settings, but wondering if it's possible to do with other providers (and the phone line in as well).

Thanks,

Obi's don't have this as a feature.

Voip.Ms and Callcentric allow this. Just forward to voicemail during certain hours (or based upon caller ID, etc)

I'm don't know a lot about Obiplus but I believe this could be accomplished with Obiplus lite using day/night operation mode.  Now for the bad news.  I think Obiplus only works with at least 1 "master Obi" which must be a 202.  You could however request the feature.

Now for the hack version of this.
Place this in the inbound callroute.  For the example we are assuming SP2 is a sip provider and we are assuming you decided to use Callcentric.  177xxxxxxxx or xxx represents an extension you created on Callcentric that goes directly to voicemail during the times of day or night you don't want your phone to ring.  If you use a SP not actually registered to Callcentric use the first example.  If you use a SP registered to Callcentric(same account you are forwarding to) use the second example.

{sp2(177xxxxxxxx@in.callcentric.com),ph}
or
{sp2(xxx@callcentric.com),ph}

You may still get 1 ring(more like 1/8 of a ring) but that might be fixable by delaying the ring.  The primary nuisance with this hack is that any voicemail left during the do not ring hours will be left at the Callcentrics voicemail service.  

I just tested this and it does work.  You hear a partial ring.  Additional testing could perfect it.
Long live our new ObiLords!
