rolandh,
With only one Ring.to account and 2 DIDs, I assume the OP can't selectively route inbound calls. All inbound calls would have to be routed to both Phone 1 and Phone 2. Correct?
Hi azrobert,
RingTo, by design, rings any SIP device logged into a specific RingTo account. With multiple numbers in that account calling any number will ring all devices. RingTo's forwarding to external destinations works differently in that multiple numbers in the same account can be routed selectively. For the OP's purposes with two Callcentric DIDs to forward to inbound calls would work fine. To keep RingTo from ringing the OBi simultaneously with the forwarded calls coming in to Callcentric requires a minor modification to the InboundCallRoute for the SP RingTo is provisioned on. Simply edit the OBiTalk default to {}. It was a previous post of your's somewhere in another thread that helped me figure that out as your posts have helped me to do with many things OBi. I thank you for that.
It's outbound calls that might be a deal breaker. There is simply no way on the OBi (that I know of) to select a specific outbound number from within a single RingTo account to use as Caller ID. If you can think of a way, I'd be most interested and more than happy to test. RingTo on an OBi sends outbound Caller ID based on the Default Outbound Number as configured on its' website. It can be changed but is not convenient to do so on a per call basis.
Lastly, I should add that RingTo does not expose SIP credentials. Provisioning is handled by the OBiTalk portal similar to GV. This is so that only approved clients (OBis purchased after 5/1/14, RingTo's own mobile apps and GrooVe IP on Android) may connect. I have used other clients by using my OBi as a proxy, again, with a tip of the hat to you!
Apologies for the long-windedness, the short answer is you are correct but one can work around that by forwarding to Callcentric or another external destination registered to the OBi.
