Please let me know if this is possible.  I'm thinking about buying an Obi110 for my Dad's xmas present if this is possible :)

I want to hook up a phone line with regional-only service to make local calls (so my Dad can keep his local number).  And I want to configure the Obi with google voice to make long distance calls.

Can you configure the Obi to receive local calls with the regional-only line, and use google voice for making outbound calls?

Would be very interested in how to make this work.

I am assuming that outgoing calls that go though GV would use GV's number for CallerID.  There isn't a way to use the "real" number for that, is that correct?

thanks.

Incoming calls on all trunks (PSTN, SP1, SP2, and OBiTALK) ring the OBi's phone by default.

Outgoing calls use a selected trunk (PSTN, SP1, SP2, or OBiTALK) by default but can be overriden using a prefix:

**1  ->  SP1 Service
**2  ->  SP2 Service
**8  ->  PSTN Line
**9  ->  OBiTALK Service

Automatic overrrides based on dialed number patterns can also be configured using custom DigitMaps.

For example:

International calls (011+)  ->  SP1 Service (Google Voice)
Specific area codes  ->  PSTN Line
Remaining area codes  ->  SP1 Service (Google Voice)
