Title: Outgoing calls working great, problems receiving calls to GV #
Post by: HunterT on April 07, 2013, 04:12:23 PM
Alright, so I know most people do not use their OBi 110 device for faxing, but I figured id give it a shot since mine is just sitting around.

I created a Google Voice # and turned all forwarding off for the time being because it was currently linked to my cell phone. I plugged my OBi device into my network and Fax machine. I logged into OBi and set up my device and even linked it to Google Voice (it says Connected). I called a phone from my Fax machine and it worked and came from the proper GV# and I got a fax report afterwards.

THE PROBLEM IS RECEIVING CALLS - How do people call my FAX machine using my GV#?
Is there any possible way to have people send me incoming faxes? It seems that I would have to go into my GV settings and click Add another phone, and set to forward to it, but when I put my OBi # in it does not work. Am I missing something or is this not possible?

Your fax machine will have to be set up to answer calls.
