[Following suggestions in
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=2937.0 I was able to get OBiApp for PC (xlite-4) and the OBiON on my son's version 2 IpodTouch to direct dial out on sp1/GV. Thanks for that!]
Porting issue: My aim is to get off the landline but keep the number if I can. Living in a small town is apparently not good for porting landline to GV, or, as far as I can find so far, not good for porting to any voip or park and forward services. Ph# 765-563-xxxx Tmobile, ATT and Sprint say they can port it, but GV says it cannot. I am not sure if that would be the case after a port to Tmobile. Does anyone know? I've tried many the regular LNP lookup forms on the web that others on this forum have suggested in older posts, to no avail.
If anyone has worked through a similar porting or park/forward situation, or knows of services that may accept out of the way phone exchange numbers, I'd appreciate hearing of possible solutions.
?? [...Which brings up a question about if/how I might add a message for calls to the landline saying "This number will soon change to xxx-xxx-xxxx, please make a note of it..."?, to run for awhile, then continue the call? ]
How do I learn about and set the right digitmap and/or callroute so that when we pick up the phone attached to the OBi110 and dial a regular long distance call: 1+areacode+number or just area code+number if we can , that that call goes out on SP1 (GV) whereas the calls we know are local, 7-digits -- (some in the 765 ac, and others in adjacent towns in the 219 ac) plus 911.. and the tollfrees, go out over LINE?
Hmmmm. Since my PSTN is primaryline , everything is going out over it, anyway, so what I'd apparently like is like is if the call begins with a 1 and is 10 digits, or just the the 10 digits we decide to dial, AND NOT tollfrees THEN send the longds to SP1.
Is there some logic or rules guiding whether/where digitmaps are defined and callroutes are modified for the different layers: Service Providers (ITSPn), Voice Service (SPn..), Physical Interfaces (phone,line)?
Is there an order of processing for the dialed stream, and/or also any detailed documented coding rules and ~syntax for the digitmaps and callroutes for OBi's?
Perhaps as a sticky?
Thanks.
