Google Voice - How to remove 11 prefix on caller ID of incoming calls
wwwin:
OK, so tried to remove just 1 and still get an 11. So when back to default config. on Obi. Funny thing is I tried to call out before from history and could not connect. But tried now and can connect even with the 11 there now. I also checked on GV history and the call out from GV in history only shows a 1 before the area code. So I guess I am good to go..don't why before I could not connect before. The calls made with the 11 in front seem to take a little longer to hear a ring on the phone ear speaker but I can live with that. Just want to make sure that GV does not think I am dialing LD because of the extra 1 but I think its OK because the extra 1 does not show in the history of calls made out from the phone that is adding the 1. Thanks to everyone. Still wondering why can't remove the extra 1 by digimap but won't mess with configuring Obi just because of this if the calls are connecting when dialing out thru history. Thanks to everyone.

What you are trying to do is totally unnecessary. Do the calls, as shown in your OBi call history, have just one "1" digit in front of the area code? If so, don't mess with the digit maps. Google Voice doesn't care if the numbers you call have a 1 in front of them or not, and it will not cause you to be charged for a "long distance" call, even if you are calling the house next door.
Try some other telephone, not the phone that is adding the "1" to the caller ID string.

Yeah, I agree it seems to work fine. The calls also only show 1 before the area code in the Obi call history. Won't mess with any config if I can continue to call out like this. I just thought I could not because of the extra 1. Wasted some time but at least learn a little about Expert config and how to enter the web portal. Thanks.
