Hello all,
Up until now have been very happily using an Obi202 with several Google Voice accounts for over a year. In anticipation of the May 15 cut-off, I am currently in my trial period for Obivoice. I am forwarding my Google Voice calls to my new Obivoice number, but the voicemail gets caught by Google Voice, and I don't get VMI or stutter tone.
I attempted to solve this problem by adding the most important google voice account back onto the obi, and setting it (not the Obivoice account) to notify me when I have a message. Mostly it works: test messages to my google voice number cause a stutter tone, no light. But, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to clear the message. Even after I listen to it, and archive it, the stutter tone remains until I go into the browser configuration page and clear the "message waiting" tic box.
Hrmph. I don't want to port my number to Obivoice until I have used it for awhile, but I WOULD like to have some indication when there are messages on my home number. So far, this doesn't pass the wife test. Wait a minute. I AM the wife.
Any thoughts? How are others solving the problem of voicemail when forwarding google voice to another VOIP provider? Thanks in advance!
