Multiple Google Accounts?
penguinjeff:
It looks like I already get CID and I have different rings for each phone number in. All I would really want is to be able to add 2 star numbers to use the 2nd and 3rd numbers out.
SteveInWA:
It sounds like you need a better understanding of how OBi devices work with Google Voice.
You can set up two different Google Voice accounts on one OBi device -- for example, GV#1 on SP1, and GV#2 on SP2.
You can select which number is used as the primary line for outbound calls, and which lines ring which of the two different telephone jacks, line 1 and line 2, on your OBi. To do this, just log into the OBiTALK portal, and set it up as you wish.
Assuming that SP1 is set as the primary line for outbound calls, then, to make a call using SP2, enter **2 before the phone number.
You don't need any of the fancy stuff as mentioned by Irosenman.
penguinjeff:
Thank you SteveInWA
Yes I did just need a little help.
I setup 3 different google voice lines and a E911 with Anveo ($15/yr)
I found the **2 and **3 for using my other two google voices when I searched the forum.
Works much much better then magicjack or nettalk.
I have all the features I wanted but am kind of curious about using it with Asterik.
Only question now is do I need to pay a yearly fee to Obitalk?
Or is that only if I want an easy configuration through their web interface?
It looks as if from what I am reading the device has its own web interface that I might be able to use to do what I did from the dashboard on here.
I had to change the rings of the phones by using the "OBi Expert Configuration" then "Enter OBi Expert" then under "Voice Service" under "SP2 Service" at "X_DefaultRing" I had to unselect "OBiTalk Settings" then unselect "Device Default" then I selected 2 for "X_DefaultRing" for the "SP2 Service". I did the same for "SP3 Service" except I chose 3 for "X_DefaultRing".
To find "E911 with Anveo" I had to go to "OBi Dashboard" and select my device there I found an option for Anveo's E911 only. :-) and now I should be all set. Seems it took a while after I setup Anveo before it accepted my credentials, but it now says Registered instead of some error message I was getting the other day.
Works nicely.
Even if I need to pay $20/yr for the OBi support and $15 that is how much I remember paying to magickjack. I tried nettalk as a replacement but it was even worse. I'm quite happy with my OBi200 :-)

FYI
If a number is unique (like specific area codes or international numbers) for a trunk, you can route these calls without using the **n prefix. The **n prefix can be changed to anything you want as long as it doesn't interfere with other numbers. I hate the **n prefix and use a single digit prefix for routing.
You can setup 1 or more extra phone lines on your OBi200 using a smartphone, computer or IP phone.
I bought an Android phone on sale for $10 that I use as an extra line on my OBi200. The last time I was in Fry's grocery store (part of the Kroger chain) they had a LG Android on sale for $10. You don't need to purchase a calling plan.
lrosenman:
my "Fancy" stuff is so I can get CID Prefix's for whose calling, and CNAM lookup for google Voice.
If you're still interested in what I have speak up, or I'll shut up.
