Title: OBI 100 background noise
Post by: BK63 on January 21, 2012, 04:27:25 PM
New here finally got this thing to work with google voice.  As soon as a call connects I start getting these beeps and buzzing noise.  Any suggestions?

Do you have the same problem if you place the call using your computer and the Gmail web page?

Yeah the web site calls the home phone then it rings my cell, still hear that noise.  Lot of beeps and buzzing.

Then it must be a problem with Google Voice if it occurs without the OBi being in the loop.

It turned out that every time I lifted the home phone I had the cell in my other hand.  I finally noticed, (duh) that when I moved the cell 5 feet away from the home phone all noise went away.  I have to say I'm glad this works and sounds completely clear now.  First time with an ip setup.  So tired of my home phone bundle and overpaying because I had dsl.  Finally got rid of that and was not held hostage by the home phone anymore.  Thanks.
