CC new extension to OBi Phone 2?
Kman609:
Hey there. Is there a way to make to make an extension in CC that sends a call to Phone 2 on an Obi 202? I currently have extension 100 assigned to the Obi device and an extension 101 assigned to X-Lite for calls from my laptop. I'd like to have an extension that routs calls to the OBi's Phone 2 port, and a Call Treatment that routs qualifying calls to that extension. The call treatment rout to a specific extension is easy, having that extension forward the call to the phone 2 port, no so much.
Maybe extensions aren't the way to go. I'm new to all this. What I'm looking to accomplish is rout callers who meet a certain Call Treatment, i.e., telescammers, to a dedicated phone or answering machine on the OBi 202 Pone 2 port so I can screw with them. Phone 1 currently gets legitimate callers from CC and GV.
Any ideas?
Thanks

So you "can screw with them?" If that's your goal just redirect them to "Lenny." Lenny would be MORE than happy to screw........I mean talk with them. And he's cute, too!

Ha! "Lenny" sounds like a hoot. I notice his US DID numbers are no longer good, and the only way to rout a call to him is with his SIP address sip:lenny@sip.itslenny.com:5060. Any idea how to forward a call in CC to a SIP address? Do I just enter "sip:lenny@sip.itslenny.com:5060" as the number in the Call Treatment?
I'm still interested in getting an answer to my original question, as I have a custom answering machine with a Lenny type dialogue in it, I've used it for years to piss off scammers.
Thanks

In your phone book make a group called "Lenny." Make any scammer numbers in your phone book members of that group.
Make a new call treatment that says anyone in the group Lenny gets their call redirected to "This number:" lenny@sip.itslenny.com
The above works great in Callcentric.
If you really are letting only whitelisted calls thru then you could make a call treatment that says all calls go to Lenny except those in your whitelist group but that's pretty radical. You must get some calls that you haven't whitelisted but are completely legitimate?

Thank you Taoman.
I've been using a whitelist for almost a year, and early on discovered legitimate callers were being missed (they went to a dedicated answering machine), and were added to the white list. I have not had a "surprise" number call in about 6 months, so I'm pretty comfortable routing non-whitelisted numbers to either Lenny or the Phone 2 port of my OBi.
Thank you for your help.
Edit: Just called my main CC number from my GV number (that's not on the whitelist) and got Lenny. Priceless!
PS Still looking how to send a call from CC to Phone 2 on my OBi 202. Edit: figured that out too.
