Help: Forking OBI202 PSTN Line

[willmw]

Obi202, I want to fork incoming PSTN calls on ObiLine to ring the local phone and also ring my cell.  I set up Physical Interfaces > Line >InboundCallRoute as: {ph1,sp1(cellnumber)}.  This seems to work for 2 rings, but then the call only rings the cellnumber out sp1.  What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

Your InboundCallRoute looks correct.

If you make a call to your cellphone using SP1, does that work completely OK?

Yes, it does.

I also don't see anything wrong with your setup, but there is another way to fork calls to a cell phone and it might be a better way. The way you're doing it, your cell phone will not receive the correct CallerID. It will receive the SP1 phone number as CallerID.

Your Cell Phone must be a Smart Phone.
Get a free SIP account at Callcentric or Sip2Sip.
Install a softphone on your cell.
Register the softphone to the SIP account.

OBi InboundCallRoute:
{ph1,spx(17771234567@in.callcentric.com;ui=$1)}
or
{ph1,spx(your_account_id@sip2sip.info;ui=$1)}

spx must be defined as SIP
ui is userid
$1 is an OBi variable containing the inbound callerid
