Set up Obi100 but phone won't ring

<< < (4/4)

I have two different phone wire pairs. One runs to my personal phone in my home office. The other one is my home phone and runs to the rest of the house. I do it this way so that calls to my personal phone don't ring to the other phones in my house (even if it is a different ring tone - who knows whether my toddler will pick it up).

My final setup when I am done messing with things is for my personal GV account to ring to my personal phone in my office and my home GV account to ring to the other phones in the house with no other SIP providers (I'm planning to drop Future 9 - only switched to them because GV was supposed to get cut).

If I understand you correctly, I can do this with two Obi200s or a single Obi202. Is that right?

SteveInWA:
If I understand what you are saying, you will have two separate Google Voice accounts (two different user IDs).  If so, then yes, you can certainly use either two 200s or one 202.  Given the sale on the 200s, two of them are cheaper than one 202 by ten bucks, so there you have it!  With two 200s, neither one will have any impact on the other at all.  It would be just like two different GV users in two different places, with their own OBis.

You can, of course get into all sorts of advanced trickery with dial plans, digit maps and voice gateways, etc, but I'll leave that to ianobi and azrobert to make your head spin.

Just one trick would be that you can make an "intercom" call between the two lines by setting up a speed dial on each box to use the OBiTALK network to call the other box's OBi ID number.

I just got my Obi200 and it works great. I don't know why the Obi100 wouldn't ring, but the Obi200 doesn't have that problem.

Did you check "Forward call to Google Chat" in your Google Voice setting?
