Title: Can you use an Obi202 like an intercom and call from one line to the other?
Post by: Studly on March 01, 2014, 03:23:36 PM
I have an Obi202 with two VOIP lines connected in my house. However, I'd like to be able to call between them (use it as an in-house intercom) w/o using the VOIP service, since the VOIP service charges a per minute fee. Can you do that, and if so, how? I assume you can use the ObiTalk Network to call for free, but since both phone lines come out of the same Obi202 device, I thought maybe there was a simpler way?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Press # on the phone.  How is that for an easier way?  :)

Thanks, that works great. I was guessing there must be a way to do that, but couldn't find it listed anywhere.

Now what's the code to have the Obi get me a cold beer from the fridge?  :)

Now you are being ridiculous.  That's an advanced setup only available with Obiplus.  lol
