Localphone voicemail access from Obi and other question

(1/3) > >>

mo832:
It seems if you have localphone as your ITSP you should be able to dial *1571 from your connected phone to reach your voice mail, but on the Obi, all you get is a busy signal.

I have read elsewhere in the forum that the dial plan could be changed to allow one to dial *1571 for localphone VM access from the Obi phone, but is there a way to dial it on an as-needed basis without messing with the dial plan?

I saw something about a speed dial but I did not understand it or know if it works.

** ** ** **

2nd question: Is there any reason to register in your localphone account a DID number you are using from Ipkall? If the ipkall forwards to localphone, why does localphone have to be notified in advance which DID is sending to it?

drgeoff:
I use localphone for some outgoing calls and have it as vg5.  To get the '*' of '*1571' accepted I use 'Xx.' as the digit map.

Phone port digit map includes (**8Xx.)
Phone port OutboundCallRoute includes  {(<**8:>Xx.):vg5}
vg5 digit map is (Xx.)

Perhaps not optimum but it works.  There is a long post dial delay unless a '#' is added to the dialled number.

(I have a Gigaset phone which is programmed to automatically prepend **8 for numbers I want to go via localphone.)

Can't help with your second question.

mo832:
Thanks for the tip, but how do you dial it? Do you just pick up the phone and punch *1571? Or do you dial some other sequence?

And does this require a reset of the digit map? I would rather be able to leave that alone and just dial a speed dial or escape sequence to get the call to go through.

carl:
I dial *1571. Only a minimal change to digit map is needed.

mo832:
@carl,

How did you get that to work?

Is there a way to do it with a speed dial only?
