How join a PSTN call
azrobert:
If an inbound PSTN call is answered by a PSTN phone, can the OBI phone join the call?
obiliving:
The short answer is no.
The OBi device will not "interfere" with the LINE if it detects that someone is using it with another phone. The "Join" (some people call it "Barge In") feature is not available on the OBi110.
DoNotDisturb:
Can I pick up the phone and press # to join the PSTN call in progress?
obiliving:
No. If the line is already in use, dialing # would result in an error signal. I guess "barge-in" would be a reasonable feature to request.
Northern.Bob:
Hmm, the detection by the Obi unit that the line is in use is done by sensing line voltage I believe. Could we not find a setting to change this so that the Obi never detects a "line in use" condition?
Just asking if anyone knows how this can be done... or not.
The inability to join a conversation in the house would seem to be a significant drawback.
