telephone cable to delay landline ring?
babobi:
Is there such a thing as a simple telephone cable that'll delay the ring heard on my landline? Junk and spam phone calls are forwarded to my Google Voice, but a short "forward ring" indicator is heard whenever one of these calls attempts to go through. I'm seeking a simple analog solution without going through trial and error experimentation in the Obi programming matrix. Thanks in advance all !

I can't think how such a device could be designed with only a few simple low cost electronic components.
And I can't imagine there is any demand for such a device that would justify anyone manufacturing and marketing one.
ianobi:
It only requires one setting to be looked at / changed in your OBi:
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> LINE Port -> RingDelay: 4000
4000 = 4 seconds and is the default. That should be more than enough to stop one short ring. However, you may have had reason to change it in the past.

I thought this delays the ring, not stop it.

My understanding of this:

is that one short ring is sent to the OBi. RingDelay will absorb the first ring and maybe the second while it's decoding CallerID. I.e. any ringing current sent in those four seconds will not make it through to the Phone Port.
