I've searched for what I believe must be a simple solution, but so far...no luck.
My VOIP provider (freephoneline.ca) uses *98 as the number to dial for VM. I can just dial my 10 digit number, but I've been using a PAP2 for years and I'd like to bump up the WAF on my new toy a little. (Change is always bad, you know.)
The Obi uses *98 for a "Blind Transfer", a feature I'll likely never use. I know that I can change that to *99 or something else available through Expert Config.
My question is how do I have the *98 code sent directly to SP1 (my default for outgoing calls). I assume that a Dial Plan change would be required. Currently, my dial plans are 100% stock.
Is there a simple solution?
In Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> General
Add following to the DigitMap: *98|
The following is the default DigitMap for an OBI110
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@.)
Change it to look like this:
(*98|1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@.)
Also, change the star code for Blind Transfer.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a shot in the morning and report back my results.
Well a tad different, but you can set your number up in Obi's speed dial at 98. And then press 98#.
Close enough?
Jackson, I appreciate the outside-the-box thinking. That's a great idea.
If AZRobert's suggestion hadn't worked (it did, flawlessly, thanks) I would have definitely used your method.
