Newbie from Ireland looking for advise on forwarding
mylesm:
Hello from Ireland and a big thanks to all the experts here its great to have this forum to help newbies like myself
I posted over on the set up forum that I was having a delay before the outbound phone call went through
It was suggested I make mods to my Digitmap and I did and it seems to be working great
I would like to get a handle on call-forwarding
I have an OBI-100 with SP1 set up with blueface a VOIP provider here in Ireland it works great
I only use this as my home phone and was hoping to forward calls to my cell phone when I am out
Do I need to set up a new VOIP on SP2 to send the forward call on to my cell
I tried to forward unconditional in my obi and entered my cell no but phone still rings I am thinking this is because SP1 cannot accept incoming call and forward it as well
As you can see I am new to this so any advise appreciated
I also will be asking how to block certain numbers but thats for later
thanks again

Get a free account at Sip2Sip or Callcentric.
Install a softphone on your cell.
Then forward the call like this:
sp1(your_acct@sip2sip.info;ui=$1)
or
sp1(1777xxxxxxx@in.callcentric.com;ui=$1)
ui=$1 will pass the CallerID
Instead of forwarding, you can have both phones ring simultaneously.
Now you don't have to turn forwarding on/off.
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
ph, sp1(your_acct@sip2sip.info;ui=$1)

Thanks for that but if i want to forward at certain times I thought it would be easier to just enable forwarding in the obi
but I was hoping to try to understand how it works
In Sp1 Calling features if i enable call forward and enter my cell number when i test it by calling home with my wifes cell the home phone rings and call is not forwarding to my cell
I must be not understanding how it works
thanks again

This is how I just tested call forwarding.
Voice Services -> SP1 service
CallForwardUnconditionalEnable: checked
CallForwardUnconditionalNumber: sp1(14801234567)
You can disable Call Forwarding by dialing *73
You can enable Call Forwarding by dialing *72
Your service provider must allow simultaneous inbound and outbound calls.
Check your call history to see if the call is forwarded.
Log directly into the OBi using the local interface.
Key the IP address of the OBi into a Web Browser.
Hit Enter
The UserID and default Password are both "admin".
Click Status on the left column.
Then click Call History.
You will NOT see the inbound CallerID on the phone receiving the forwarded call.
You will see your service providers CallerID.
