New OBiTALK Feature: Link your OBi devices for extension dialing

During some experimentation recently, I configured 3 of my OBi devices to use OBiTalk. While the system worked as designed, I noticed something odd. The OBiTalk portal had added my devices' OBi numbers to each device, however, it had also added a fourth unknown OBi number. That number being 290 011 149. I then removed that number from all 3 configurations without any ill effects.
Does anyone know what the purpose of the fourth OBi number is ?

A 290 number is assigned to each OBiTALK account. It's used only for the OBi software phone function. You can simply ignore it if you're not going to use it.

I have an Obi 110, with Phone power. Need to set up extensions in two different remote locations. If I buy 2 -Obi 200's can they be linked to my 110? And, will all three share the current Phone power account? And, can each have in/out calling via the existing account? Or, do I need three Phone power accounts?

1. Your question i sonly weakly related to the Obihai linking feature that this thread addresses. And be aware that the OBi1x0 devices cannot utilise that linking.
2. Some ITSPs do permit several devices to be registered to the same account. All will ring when the account number is rung and any device can answer. Any device can initiate a call. However it is not possible to call from one to another, transfer calls etc. I do not know if PhonePower supports such multiple devices.
3. Some ITSPs such as Callcentric have an extensions facility which lets a single account do what you want.
4. It is possible to use the long-standing Obitalk network to make "internal" calls between OBi devices and distribute/transfer "external" calls between OBi devices. Only one OBi needs to be "connected" to the ITSP.

PhonePower is one of the few ITSPs that allows simultaneous registrations to the same account using the same SIP credentials. If memory serves, you can have a total of 4 simultaneous registrations to the same account. So you would only need one PP acount.

In that scenario, I guess there would be no way to call one extension from another extension? Or do they have a trick to do that? At least, with Callcentric, you can assign extension numbers and call from one extension to another extension.
