OBI 100 -> OBI 200, now caller ID displays "Out of Area"
dhobi:
I went back to the OBI100 as I discovered I can get more providers (at least outgoing only) via Voice Gateways. OBI100 works better for me, the sound quality and quality overall feels better than the OBI200 and CID works better with my Panasonic phone. It's still on build 2824, managed locally only, not via the portal. I know that at some point GV will stop working with username/password auth, but I will deal with that when it happens.

Beating a dead dog .... I just noticed this same thing but I am not sure when it started happening for me. I had a 110 and went to a 200. What mystifies me is that CallCentric call log show CID in both cases .... it appears that cellphone calls work correctly but POTS calls fail ?
FiSH810:
Seems there has been no solution for this. I will just add the following:
1) It is still an issue.
2) All I did was switch from an OBi100 to an OBi200. On my OBi100, I just deleted the SP1 service and then deleted the device. Swap the 200 for the 100. Then add the device and configure for GV. The exact same GV, nothing changed there.
Then I see the USELESS "Out of Area" in large letters followed by the tiny CID number. I'm using a Panasonic cordless.
3) Reverse the process to return to my trusty OBi100 (delete service, delete device, swap the 100 back, then add device and configure for GV.)
4) Now all is well again. When I receive a call, I now see either the incoming number or the caller's name(not sure where that comes from- maybe my speed dials) in large letters so I can see who is calling without a magnifying glass.
5) What a waste of money shelling out for the OBi200. Bought it so that my old DirecTivo analog modem could dial into Tivo again. That didn't work either. If you have an OBi100, don't waste your money on a 200. THE OBi100 IS BETTER.

Try this:
Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port -> CidNoNameFormat: Show Caller Number
This is a new feature. if you don't see this option, upgrade your firmware.

I've got what I believe to be the latest firmware (3.0.1, Build: 4822), and I'm not seeing this feature.
Agree with the OP. I'm using Panasonic phones too and I hate the Out of Area CID for every single number.
