Title: Obi continues to ring after GVoice call picked up elsewhere
Post by: nik.taylor on December 02, 2014, 07:04:53 AM
I have my GVoice number linked up to several phones including obi 100, office and cell.  When i pick up the GVoice call on any other device, the Obi continues to ring until it times out or i pick up and answer.  Of course, when i answer, the call has already been connected and the line is silent.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I had the same problem recently.  Here is my post  http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9029.0

Deleting GV and reinstalling it through OBiTALK fixed it for me.

Thanks.  Did a factory reset then added back.  Hopefully that fixes it.

I have also had this issue but I don't think it's just an Obi issue.  I have noticed GV ringing other forwarding numbers(Callcentric) after I have picked up on my cell phone.  I have even got several blank voicemail messages as a result.

Well, it fixed it for the first call and then second call went back to continuous ringing. 

Anyone from tech support able to look into this?

Thanks.

I am also experiencing this-- when I answer a call on the phone connected to my Obi202 it continues to ring through to my cell phone but if I answer the line is dead of course.  If I don't answer the second ring or miss the call completely I get a blank 3 minute voicemail in Google Voice. Very annoying since I now get these blank messages almost every call that comes in. I have deleted and then readded Google Voice via Obitalk portal to no effect.

Well, it seems to have fixed itself again.  Not sure if it was the remove and re-add or someone did some magic in the background, but to date, only the very first call after i re-added continued to ring.  Everything after that has stopped ringing after i picked up another line.

This seems to be a chronic intermittent issue.  I experienced this issue a number of times, but each time it has cleared up without an intervention from me. 

I forward calls from Google Voice to Vestalink and to voip.ms and Hangouts rings on my mobile.
