I have a need to make my cell ring also... although im using gvoice so I can NOT add my CELL to my GV # (as it is already ON another GV Number)..
Is there a way to ADD a Call forward (well simultaneous ring) on a obi box (its a obi508)
thanks in advance.
You can change the GV definition for you cell from "Mobile" to "Home" then you will be able to add your cell to a 2nd GV account.
or
Use OBi Expert to change the GV trunks's X_InboundCallRoute to:
ph,sp1(Cell_Number)
You will see the GV callerid, not the original callerid. The above assumes GV is defined on SP1.
or
Get a free SIP service like Callcentric's IP Freedom account. Install a softphone on your cell and register it to the account. Forward inbound calls to this account. You will see the original callerid with this method. If you're interested in this method, I'll show you the setup.
