I use a very old deskphone. It is an ATT 882 2-line speakerphone phone that I have favored for years. It has excellent sound, a great speakerphone and a hidden QWERTY keyboard for easy phone number installation. Hard to explain why I like it so much until you've used one. However, this is just background for my questions.
I have had Comcast VoiP coming out of my modem and into line 1 of the phone for five years. Last week, I installed Google Voice via an OBi100 onto the second line. Obi and GV goes dead almost within a minute of installation If I put the GV line into a second phone by itself it is fine, but the two different VoiP's (Comcast and GV) don't seem play well together in this phone. I always keep a back-up 882, and I found the same problem using that phone, as well. Either one will work in the phone, but they don't play nice, together.
Three Questions:
1. Does ANYONE out there have a 2-line phone currently using another VoiP number in 1 line and GV via OBi in the other line? My problem may just be this the old phone.
2. Would an OBi110 with that second landline pass-through slot make any difference at all? I hesitate because thes are both VoiP lines.
3. This involves the direction I wish to eventually take. Does anyone out there using a 2-line phone with GV via OBi in one line and a bluetooth device used to answer your cell phone connected to line two? If so, how is that working for you? Any tricks to set up I should know before starting?
I appreciate your advice and assistance.
