Thank you, Steve. The reason I use the answering system associated with my OBi202 connected house telephone is twofold:1) I don't use cell phone forwarding of calls made to my Google voice number and 2) the only way I would know that I have a voice message waiting on Google voice VM would be via email from Google voice.
Here is the background: I am using my house telephone connected to the OBi202 as my primary phone (like a landline phone). I have noticed that if I use cell phone forwarding of calls made to my Google voice number and if the cell phone is for any reason off line, then any calls to my Google number are immediately routed to the Google voice VM system and the regular house phone connected to the Obi202 does not ring. That is a problem. However, if I don't forward to my cell, a phone call made to my Google voice number will be channeled via the OBi202 to my house telephone, and if I do not answer, my answering machine starts recording. The advantage is that a blinking red light on my house telephone lets me know I have a voice mail waiting on my house telephone. That brings me back to my original question: how do I limit the open line time on the OBi202 after a call finished recording. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks, bhs
