Call Forward Using the Obi (and not the SIP)

(1/3) > >>

threehappypenguins:
I signed my mother-in-law up for a Google Voice Niagara Falls number a while ago so that her family there can call her for free as if it was local. She doesn't want to lose that when Google Voice loses XMPP service. But the way I'm rigging things to do things cheaply here in Canada, both SP's in her Obi110 will be used up. And I can't forward her Google Voice number to her Canadian number either because GV doesn't let you do that.

I have an Obi202, and I can spare a port for her and put a free Callcentric number on there and have the Google Voice number forwarded to the Callcentric number. Is there a way that I can use the Obi itself (and not the Callcentric service) to forward the Callcentric SP incoming calls to her Obi or to her phone number?

So it would look like this:

Obi 110 (mother-in-law):
SP1: Anveo (home phone number)
SP2: TheSpout (used for 811 & 311 services only)

Obi202 (my Obi)
SP1: Freephoneline
SP2: TheSpout
SP3: Callcentric ----> forwarded to mother-in-law's Obi or phone number

Taoman:
Don't know about Obi to Obi communication but if TheSpout is outgoing only you might try to configure it as a Voice Gateway which would free up SP2. This would only work if TheSpout didn't require registration for outbound calls.

I'm sorry... I don't understand what you mean? Can you clarify a little more? I thought I need to have TheSpout registered on an SP if I want to make outgoing 811 and 311 calls?

Taoman:
It depends on the service provider. Many don't require registration for outbound calls.....they only require authentication. Localphone is a prime example. I have an Obi110 and my 2 SP slots are filled. So I configured CallWithUs and IPComms as Voice Gateways since they are outgoing only and don't require registration. Some service providers allow it and some don't.

I still don't follow. I thought registration and authentication is the same thing? You have a username and password that you must enter? I'm confused...
