Hi,
Thanks for your help.
1: Yes I hear a dial tone. I am able to place and receive calls using Google Voice.
2: No, hitting # I just hear a click, and do not get a POTS dial tone. Moreover, when calling my landline the Obi/Phone does not ring.
Meanwhile, when I was configuring the obi and rebooting it, the phone gave multiple false incoming calls. The phone would ring and I would pickup just to get dial tone. I would hang up, and a minute later it would ring again.
I believe the settings need to be calibrated to South Africa, to be able to detect on the LINE what calling "voltages"/signals etc etc are so that it'll work.
Please help!
