OBi Phone Setup Tutorial
drgeoff:
Why are noobs so keen so inclined to tag on to (usually inappropriate) existing threads instead of starting a new one?
The 1022 is a self-contained IP phone with corded handset. It does not support multiple additional handsets.
The Obi 1x0, 20x, and 50x models are designed to add Voip facilities to ordinary analogue phones. The 100, 110 and 200 have a single phone jack for a phone or cordless base station. The 202 has two phone jacks.
You say you want all four cordless phones usable at the same time. The Panasonic and Vtech models you link to support one and only one external call. It may be possible to have 2 or more handsets taking part in that one call. And it may be possible to have internal calls between all the handsets or between some of the handsets while others are on an external call. However all that functionality is determined solely by the phones. The Obi plays no part.
You also need to understand that for calls to POTS endpoints only your Caller ID is sent to the callee's telco. It is the callee's telco who may perform a lookup on that number to ascertain a Caller Name to forward to the callee. With calls that are VoIP from end to end there is more possibility that you can have your Caller Name appear at the other end.
Obis do have an auto attendant facility but not voicemail.

Hey guys I have a 202 model and when I am adding the device and I dial the number shown and then hang up it shows my device number the mac serial number etc but then its asking for the admin password. What the heck is that and where do I find it. Should it be asking for this?

Hello,
I just recently purchased a 1062 model phone and have Google voice setup just fine. My problem now is with setting
up SP2 with Anveo. I have 7 phone numbers with Anveo and if I configure automatically it does not give me an option of which number to use and just pulls the main number from the account with no option of choosing a sub account. I have gone in numerous times into expert config by typing the IP address of phone, logging in and manually changing the account settings and everything works and looks good on the phone until I reboot and then all the edited settings are overwritten.
So I have a $25.00 Polycom IP phone that can configure any SIP account in 5 minutes but I can't get a $200 OBI phone to do the same.
What am I missing here? This is driving me crazy!
Thx for any suggestions
