Hello, I need some help. I currently have updated to the Obi 200. Under the Old Obi, I had an answering machine that would pick up all of my calls. Now since the update, the answering machine does not work. After ringing, the calls goes directly into the google voice voicemail. Is there anyway that I can deactivate the google voice voice mail and how can I get my answering machine to work. I saw a similar post at to how to get the answering machine to work but none of the fixes work. Please help. Thanks!
Google Voice mail cannot be disabled and will always take the call if not answered by someone or something within about 25 seconds.
Are the calls reaching your OBi?
The calls are reaching the Obi. The Voice Machine is set to pick up earlier before Google Voice Mail enables.
Try changing the Ring Pattern to shorten the total ring time. See suggested changes here: https://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=13916.msg90170#msg90170
Other people (including myself) have been experiencing this very same issue recently. Here is the thread:
