GV -> ipKall -> LocalPhone -> OBI - answering machine picks up, but doesn't
azrobert:
If it's a provider problem is IPKall or LocalPhone?
You can eliminate both providers and use a softphone to see if it's an answering machine problem.
Install Phonerlite on your PC.

Proxy: Obi_IP_addr:port like 192.158.1.100:5061
Register: unchecked

Dial any number and the OBi will ring.
If this works you can try pointing IPKall directly to the OBi, bypassing LocalPhone.
You point IPKall to your public IP address and port of the OBi SP.
In your router you have to port forward the UserAgent and RPT ports to the OBi.

Thanks azrobert - I couldn't figure out how to answer that question - I will try this.
I moved my answering machine to another jack and it worked, so I thought I was on to something. Leaving out all the excitement and rewiring / reversing polarity / etc I did to try to get it to work in its original home, suffice it to say it never worked again. It was some kind of fluke apparently. Sigh. Wish I had tested twice before I decided I had solved it.
Omelas:
I think I solved this. Despite the fact it didn't seem to be based on timing, I set my localphone call forwarding, which I had turned completely off, to go to voicemail after 60 seconds, and now all is well.
Key was making sip -> sip call to localphone and getting timed out message.

So, I set up GV -> ipKall -> LocalPhone -> OBI for free incoming calls. Quality is acceptable, all works well. localphone has cheap outbound rates and lets me spoof my GV number, so all is great.

@ Omelas - do you mind sharing how you are getting Free incoming calls with Localphone?
I've set up GV > ipkall > OBI for free incoming calls ( using GetOnSip as my sip provider )
how does Localphone enter the picture.
Omelas:
localphone is the sip for my ipkall number, then just enter the localcall credentials into the obi. lots of links in the chain so it seems fragile, but one SP in the obi handles inbound and outbound calls via localphone. Just set it up so testing this week to see if it is good enough.
