Passing CID
azrobert:
I don't understand how the call gets from the 2nd VOIP.ms account to your cell. Do they have a call forward function that passes the original callerid?
Here is another way:
Get a 2nd VOIP.ms account.
Install a softphone on your cell and register it to the 2nd account.
Change CallForwardUncondionalNumber to: sp2(2nd_Number@sip.voip.ms;ui=$1)
If there are any charges for a 2nd VOIP.ms account, get a free account at Sip2Sip.
Here: https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Register the cell to Sip2Sip.
Change CallForwardUncondionalNumber to: sp2(acct_number@sip2sip.info;ui=$1)
The $1 variable contains the callerid of the inbound call.
ui is userid.
if userid is not specified, the userid of the SP trunk will be used.
I just tried forking an inbound call on SP1 to my 2nd OBi via OBiTalk. The phone connected on the 2nd OBi correctly displayed the callerid of the inbound call.

I have to think more about the forwarding. You gave me some great data. I have to see if I can develop the scenario you indicated via voip.ms. I can forward DID via the website which pass the CID I have to figure out if I can forward a SIP sub-account without a DID.
As for the forking I dismantled that set up first of the year awaiting another location. I have to hook it up and give it a try. Of course I have to move the forking string from the line port to SPx.
Here is a thought that just crossed my mind. If there was no CID on the line port would the display name of the Obi appear in lieu of the CID of the forked call?
Thanks!

Yes. If the OBi receives no CallerID from any incoming call, then it will insert its own CallerID and CName and forward that to called OBi / phone / endpoint.

Thanks Ianobi - As I was working this post I realized that the forking was on the line ports which had no CID service and was probably presenting the name of the forking Obi in lieu of a CID.
I was experimenting with various voip.ms scenarios and getting no joy. They offer a call forwarding that is either set on/off or a forwarding on no answer but it has a fixed number or rings which is large and probably useless. There is not a variable with a selection of rings before forward like the Obi which would be ideal. I will do a feature request with voip.ms this feature was probably asked for previously but my request may add reinforcement.
