If I buy an Obi Business Phone, do I also need to buy the Obi VOIP Adapter?

Question for both of you. I have a 1062 and also a separate 202 using the same GV. If I pick up on one and need to then transfer to the other whats the easiest way to do that?
SteveInWA:
Google Voice has a feature to do that. Press the star (*) key on the phone that answers the call, and in a couple of seconds, the other phone(s) on your account will ring. Answer the call on the other phone, and hang up the first-answered phone.
You need to enable this feature in Google Voice Settings, if it's not already turned on.
From a laptop or desktop computer's web browser, go here: https://www.google.com/voice/#callsettings
If it takes to you to the brand new Google Voice user interface, click the three-bar "hamburger" icon in the upper left corner, scroll down the left side, and click "Legacy" to get to the old settings page.
Add a check mark to the left of "Call options".

Thank you - this is great. I enabled but it didn't work. To be clear, I called someone on my 1062, then hit * because I wanted to pick it up on the phone connected to my 202, but the phone connected to the 202 didn't ring.
SteveInWA:
I didn't say that it works for outbound calls. It only works for INbound calls. You can transfer the call locally from one OBi to the other on an outbound or inbound call if you wish. RTFM.
You've now spent what, 11 days posting here about various ways to get around paying for conference calling service. Are you really that cheap that you can't afford to pay one cent per minute?
