Callcentric incoming DID, outgoing and Callcentric softphone app
Usetheforceobiwan:
Just as an FYI, you could have another CC main account and do a combo simultaneous ring group as well as forwarding to another CC account via SIP-URI. With that you could have 40 extensions to play around with.
But then again, maybe this is a little over the top. ::)

Get Localphone.
Localphone is by far the cheapest option.
Either LP is having problems OR it is very difficult to get set up correctly for Obi users ?!?
And:

Zoiper is a good soft-phone option for Obi users
According to their site it has a free version with starkly limited features - otherwise EUR 34.99 ??
All the posts I've seen thus far about LP troubles and in comparing free vs. paid softphones - these do not give me warm fuzzies about LP or paying for an app which has free alternatives that seem to far surpass it.
Have I missed some things here ??

Here would be the setup on an Obi 202:
SP1 CC outgoing North America 500
SP2 CC incoming DID
SP3 CC IP Freedom
This setup would allow unlimited free incoming, 500 outgoing to US/Can, and use of the CC apps for about $7.00 a month.
Question: Does anyone have a similar setup or know if CC allows you to setup Obi devices to simulring their SIP softphone app and/or to configure the Obi to bridge from SP3 to the SP1 in this case.
Example 1. Incoming on SP2 rings ph and SP3 CC IP Freedom #.
Example 2. CC Android app with ext 101 calls SP3 ext 100. Obi AA set for "option 2 to make a call with number then #."
I have a similar setup now w/GV as SP1 and CC IP Freedom as SP2. So I know how to do that in the Obi configuration. (thanks to posts here)
The reason I ask is, I thought I read somewhere that when provisioning some ITSP lock those options down in the Obi devices.
Thanks.
HH: you have been "peanut-buttering" this forum with repeated, slightly different questions in multiple sections. You're getting overloaded with different answers. This post shows that you still don't understand the basics of using an ITSP, such as Callcentric. Asking more new questions all over the forum is just going to get you even more confused, as everyone has a different spin on things, and there are a lot of very smart techies here, who don't necessarily look for the simplest answer.
You do not need three different SPs as you describe above.
Get a CC DID, as has been described now in at least 2 of your other threads. Pick an outbound calling plan, too. That is all done on the CC website. Configure ONE of your OBi SPs for that account (1777xxxxxxx and SIP password). You now have inbound AND outbound calling on that SP. It really is that simple.
With regard to multiple SIP user agents being registered to your CC number, the way to do that is by establishing what CC calls "extensions", again, on their website. So, for example, if your CC account number/SIP user ID is 17775555555, then add an extension 101, and configure your softphone to use it. It's SIP user ID will be 17775555555101. You can create more extensions as you need them. Then, you configure CC's call treatments to route inbound calls to the extension(s) you wish.
RE: softphone, most people use either the free X-Lite or paid Bria softphones from Counterpath. They're excellent, and have been around for years.
HH235:
Yep. Got it. Appreciate the help.

I had no issues configuring it on my obi.
If people are having configuration issues I suspect error ID10T.
Very cute !!
(I know that error quite well, and have made it myself plenty of times, thanks.)
Addendum...BTW:Code:
idiot (n.)
early 14c., "person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning;" also in Middle English "simple man, uneducated person, layman" (late 14c.),
from Old French idiote "uneducated or ignorant person" (12c.), from Latin idiota "ordinary person, layman; outsider," in Late Latin "uneducated or
ignorant person," from Greek idiotes "layman, person lacking professional skill" (opposed to writer, soldier, skilled workman), literally "private person (as
opposed to one taking part in public affairs)," used patronizingly for "ignorant person," from idios "one's own" (see idiom).
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
[Mark Twain, c.1882]
Idiot box "television set" is from 1959; idiot light "dashboard warning signal" is attested from 1968. Idiot savant attested by 1870.
My impression is that though LP may be very good, their site leaves alot to be desired in it's lack of clarity and I have seen lots of posts here and elsewhere asking about problems getting it set up.
(I have not tried it myself as yet.)
Here's one example=>

Zoiper is free for private-personal use. By no means are the features limited.
Another confusing site I would say - so I'll have to go view it with great care and see what I've somehow missed there...
I was looking at the PC softphone, but may yet have cause to use the android version.
Thanks.
