I am a new OBI user and so far very impressed.
I am a longtime Vonage user and looking forward to dropping that bill, but I need help replicating / improving a feature I had with Vonage.
One nice thing I had setup with Vonage is my Cisco router would automatically would cut off internet access to my Vonage device at 6:30pm every night and re-enable it at 7:00am each morning. The Vonage service had a nice feature where it would auto forward calls to a specific number (my wife's cell in this case) whenever it detected my device went offline. Since we have small kids with early bedtimes, and we greatly dislike dinner time disruptions this was a wonderful configuration. At 6:30pm each night our house line would turn off and any calls would auto forward to my wife's cell. Now it was not perfect, kind of annoying not being able to use the main house phones after 6:30pm but the benefit outweighed the inconvenience.
Now that I'm switching over to OBI I would like to accomplish the same thing and/or improve upon my Vonage configuration. Yes I could still configure my Cisco router to drop the internet to my OBI device each night but I have no way (that I know if) to auto forward my Google Voice line to another number upon disconnect. (I have 3 GV accounts, my cell, my wife's cell, and our home line). Both of our cell phones are on Sprint so they seamlessly integrate with GV without the need to port (i.e. my cell number and my GV number are one in the same). We have been longtime GV users long before I even was aware of this wonderful little OBI box.
So my question, is there any setting in the OBI expert mode that allows me to turn on/off incoming calls based upon time of day? I would love to tell my OBI to stop incoming calls on SIP1, SIP2, and SIP3 at a specific time each night, then re-enable in the morning while allowing outgoing calls 24/7.
Any suggestions??? Below is my OBI202 setup
SIP 1: My Wife's GV / Sprint Cell Number
SIP 2: My GV / Sprint Cell Number
SIP 3: House GV number (my original Vonage number is currently porting over to this GV account)
SIP 4: e911 service
Thanks in advance!
