Send incoming calls straight to a busy signal? Disable voicemail on 110
Donnyten:
Here is the deal. I plan on ditching my landline phone for use with work. I work from home doing technical support and I would like to be able to use my Google voice number as my primary landline. One of the requirements at my job is that there is no voicemail and call waiting on the line. Example, I am on a call and someone calls. They immediately get a busy signal. Is there anyway to set that up? Also I understand that there's no google voice setting to disable voicemail but is there a way to do it through the actual obihai interface?
Donnyten:
I take it this cant be done?

You can disable Call Waiting on your OBi.
Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port -> CallWaitingEnable: Unchecked
You can't disable GV voicemail, so the call will immediately go to VM.
You can make a custom greeting for GV VM like "The person you are trying to reach is unavailable, please call back later".
The greeting would have to be long enough, so the caller won't hear the beep at the end of the message. I think you can have silence at the end.
Or
You can get a free account at Tropo: https://www.tropo.com/
Write an App that plays a busy signal.
Forward the call to your App after 4 rings or when busy.

Here is a busy signal recording:

Busy is near the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the reply.
how exactly do I set it up to work with the obihai interface? I understand that I get a link when done.
Thank You.. I edited the script from the link you provided. Please let me know if this is the only script that is required.
<?php
say("http://www.soundjay.com/phone/phone-busy-1.mp3");
say("http://www.soundjay.com/phone/phone-busy-1.mp3");
rejected();
?>
I can't seem to finish the script, it says " please add extension".. I am adding .PHP to the end and it is not accepting it

I had trouble using Internet Explorer on Windows 7 with Tropo. The scripts weren't getting updated. I used Chrome.
When you create an App in Tropo they will give you a SIP URI that points to the App. It will look like:
9991234567@sip.tropo.com
You can test the App by defining a speed dial like:
sp2(9991234567@sip.tropo.com)
For production:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service
CallForwardOnBusyEnable: Checked
CallForwardOnBusyNumber: sp2(9991234567@sip.tropo.com)
CallForwardOnNoAnswerEnable: Checked
CallForwardOnNoAnswerNumber: sp2(9991234567@sip.tropo.com)
CallForwardOnNoAnswerRingCount: 4
SP2 must be defined as a SIP trunk.
If SP2 is not defined setup a dummy trunk like:
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer: 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName: (any userid)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable: (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile: B
I think you can use one Say command like this:
say("http://tindeck.com/download/dea586d67535ca6c90972f4679ccb99b/zgap/[tindeck.com]%20-%20phone-busy-1.mp3
"http://tindeck.com/download/dea586d67535ca6c90972f4679ccb99b/zgap/[tindeck.com]%20-%20phone-busy-1.mp3
");
It MIGHT have less delay between each file.
You can also upload the mp3 file to your Tropo account.

Then reference it like:
http://hosting.tropo.com/12345/www/audio/filename.mp3
12345 is your account number which is displayed on top of the page to the left of LOGOUT.
It doesn't display when using IE.
