Just re-route the call out GV to your cell phone.
Voice Services -> SP2 Service ->
X_InboundCallRoute: ph,sp2(Your_Cell#)
MaxSessions: 4
Thank you azrobert, where should I make these changes?
Can I do this on the OBitalk portal?
So far all my settings were done on the portal and I would like to avoid local settings.
How easy is to flip these settings back and forth (forwarding my GV to home phone and cell phone)?

Get a U.S. DID from voip.ms for $1/month. Forward that to your Canadian cell phone, and forward GV to that when you're wanting your Canadian cellphone to get the calls. (You'll have to pay for the calls, inbound and out, for a total of $.02/minute.)
Hmm... This is an interesting idea.
I already have too many phone numbers: US Gogle Voice, US cell, Canadian Voip.MS, Canadian Cell.
Should I get one more number?
So in this case I can have both US and Canadian Voip.MS numbers on my OBI200.
US Voip.MS number is an equivalent of US Google Voice number, so US Google Voice number can be retired.

Use the Expert mode on the portal.

Ummm... Except for the fact the GV number is Freeeee, that might be an idea. I forgot to ask, do you have the 200 configured to ring when GV is called, and does that work in Canada, or do they block Canadian IP addresses? If it's useful, keep it. Otherwise, yeah, bin it.
(As for too many DIDs, Ha! You're just a beginner. Collecting them can be addictive. I have my two original Ma Bell numbers (way back when, one was used for a modem, then a fax), two free numbers from CallCentric, two GV numbers, three vanity toll-free numbers (from various half-started projects, but at $1/month each, meh), and a couple of pay-as-you-go cellphones. Oh, and a few iNums, useful for free forwarding to ring groups, etc. Altogether, my monthly phone expenses total around $35.)

My suggestion will simultaneously ring both your home and cell phones. If you want to change this, you need to use OBi Expert again.
