Problems with GV Call Screening and CallerID on Obi110
grey-s0n:
Have had GV for around a year and was using the round about method through Sipsorcery and Sipgate to get it setup on a Linksys PAP2T. Bought the Obi110 hoping to simplify GV as calls would sometimes get lost going through the other providers. Have the 110 setup. Outbound works great and I'm told the call quality is a lot better than previous, but inbound calls are now getting screened suddenly. It's turned off on my GV account and the number is forwarding to Google Chat. The associated gmail account is not my main email, so I'm not ever signed into it or google chat except when I need to check GV settings.
Additionally inbound CallerID is not showing up. GV is set to display CallerID. Have looked around this forum and google's w/o much success. Hoping someone might be able to help. Never had this call screening thing active on my account before and the automated attendant can't even read the caller id. So when the phone rings and I pick up, I hear something like "Call from ......... (long pause) To except press 1, to send to voice mail press 2." Don't have either of these issues when using the PAP2T and forwarding GV to my Sipgate number, so something weird is going on.

Call screening is always on when using the Google Talk interface that the OBi uses. Fortunately, the OBi will hide it for you:
Voice Services -> SPx Service -> X_SkipCallScreening : (checked)
I don't know why CallerID isn't working for you. It works fine here.

thanks for the quick reply. looked and skipcallscreening box is already checked.
RonR:
Did you update the firmware to build 2283? If so, there are problems with DTMF being sent but not recognized by the distant end. A new release is supposed to be forthcoming to correct it.
grey-s0n:
yes i did update the firmware to the latest. would that be the likely cause of my issues?
