Title: Enable/Disable a Google Voice connection + scheduler
Post by: RakaSaka on May 22, 2012, 10:55:54 AM
I've been using ObiTalk w/Google voice for several months and I love it. I have my main cell phone number ported to Google Voice so it's the primary number people contact me. My problem is when I leave the house for work, it'll still ring at home and my wife sometimes picks it up so I can't leave it enabled all the time. When I get home I have bad reception so I prefer calls going through ObiTalk versus my cell phone. I'm constantly manually deleting and adding a GV profile to my obitalk config and I wish this was easier.

Solution:
1) Simple checkbox to enable/disable one of my GV service providers (But preserves the profile)
2) Scheduler option to allow me to enable GV between custom time ranges (1am-8am, 5pm-12pm, MoTuWeThFr, all day during weekends)

Take a look at jimates post (the second post) in this thread:

Note what he says about custom ring schedules in Google Voice.

Or, if you enable "Enable Recording (4), Switch (*) and Conferencing options on inbound calls", then if she answers the call and it is for you she can just press the * and all phones that originally rang will begin to ring again.

I am not sure I could survive without that feature. My wife and I are both independent contractors and we both get work from several of the same employers. We never know which one of us the call is for until it is answered.
