I only want to answer my friends calls - All other calls should go to voicemail

[andrew21]

Hi guys,
This is my first post to this forum.   

I recently bought the Obi110 and set it up with my home phone number.  It's working great.
Now I want to customize it. 

Let's say that I have 3 friends/relatives with the following phone numbers: 5551234567, 5551234568, 5551234569.

Is it possible to set up the Obi110, such that 'only' these 3 phone numbers will ring on my handset, with all other phone numbers immediately/automatically sent to voice mail?

The idea is I don't want to be bothered by other phone numbers.  I can check voice mail and contact others at a later time.  However, for these 3 phone numbers, I want to hear the phone ring, so that I can pick up immediately.

Thanks for any help/tips that you can provide.

Try this...

Voice Services > SPx Service > X_InboundCallRoute:
{(15551234567|15551234568|5551234569):ph}

This will send calls from these numbers to the phone port.

The above scenario is assuming that you are not using an answering machine.  If you are using an answering machine you won't get voicemail from the numbers that don't ring your phone.
