Conditional call forwarding

Is this how I can forward a call from SP2, with CID of 12341234567 and forward it via SP1 to 19871234567?

Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> InboundCallRoute : {(12341234567):sp1(19871234567)},{ph}  ?

and if this is correct syntax, to add another CID would be: ?

Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> InboundCallRoute : {(12341234567|1555308022):sp1(19871234567)},{ph}  ?

That looks right to me.


This is my similar inbound route for SP2

{(18141234567|18142345678|18143456789):sp4(1814xxxxxxx)},{ph1,pp(ob290212910),pp(ob290175780),pp(ob290627864)}

This forwards the call from one of the three listed numbers, to 1814xxxxxxx on sp4. All other calls ring the ph1 and are also forked to the 3 listed Obion endpoints.

You said: "All other calls ring the ph1 and are also forked to the 3 listed Obion"

Does that mean it's ringing the phone on all 3 Obi devices - sort of simulcast ringing?

jimates

Yes, the call is forked (ring simultaneous) to all 4 destinations.

If the Obion app is logged in the call will ring the PC or Smart Phone. If the app is not logged in, that leg of the call just fails without affecting the others.

How would I do this with (I think this is called SIP URI dialing) - I have a UK DID that is set up as sip:1449339388@joeschmoe.mydns.org - which seems to be ringing my port 5062 - which has funny ring so I'm thinking its actually ringing my SP2 account?

I have many UK DID's - but I want a specific DID to forward to my daughter.  Doing so by caller ID won't work - I want it to decide based on what DID was called in UK.

jimates

I don't know anything about sip uri configuration.

But call handling at the Obi is done in one of two ways.
1 - based on caller id of the individual call
2 - unconditional forwarding of all calls on a particular trunk

If the calls from that DID are the only calls coming in on sp1 or sp2, then you can forward all the calls on that trunk. If you have multiple DIDs coming in on the same trunk you would have to rely on caller id.

Is it possible to have all calls from that DID carry the caller id of the DID and not of the original call.

Hortoristic

Your suggestion to use the called DID caller number as caller ID, instead of the caller id number of the person calling me, should suffice.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Hopefully the free UK DID service I use will allow me to adjust the caller ID settings - can only expect so much for free things though!
