Cannot set speed dial #99 via ObiTalk portal

Any reason why I cannot set speed dial #99 via the ObiTalk portal? The numbers in the drop-down box only go up to 98. On the device itself there is an entry for #99 but if I set it it disappears when the device syncs with ObiTalk.

You can't set Speed Dial 1 or 99 from the OBiTALK Web Portal.  Obihai has never stated why.

They work as expected when configuring the OBi directly.

Yes, but that means I cannot use the ObiTalk portal at all if I want to have speed dial #99 on my device. Even though it doesn't appear in the web interface, the entry will become blank on the device if I set it and then it syncs from ObiTalk.

I was hoping to be able to program 99# as a local emergency number.

That's just the way it is.  It hasn't been fixed in over a year, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
