Additional Service Provider slots (SP3, SP4)
OBi-Guru:
Adding SP3 and SP4 would not be possible on the same OBi.
However, this can be done by adding another OBi (or more), and have it daisy-chained with the first one, connected via OBi numbers in the gateway slots.

Sounds like an expensive way to add a few SP gateways considering you'd need to purchase another Obi or two, probably a 4-8 port ethernet switch and a power board for the extra power packs.
A Minitar MVA11A ATA will accommodate up to 5 VSPs for a similar cost to an Obi110. Granted though, it lacks some of the funky features of the Obi, namely the AA.

If I may ask, is the inability to add SP3 and SP4 accounts due to a hardware limitation?
Or is it that OBi (understandably) wishes to sell more OBi units? ;)
Although I'm not opposed to buying additional OBi devices, I'd prefer not to have multiple boxes cluttering up my desk. So if the latter is the case (and I surely don't fault OBi if it is), then I'll just reiterate that:

I'd be willing to pay a small fee for "premium" firmware, so long as that premium firmware allowed for additional (preferably unlimited) SP accounts, including Google Voice accounts.
Or if a hardware limitation doesn't permit adding additional SP accounts to an OBi100 or OBi110, then I'd like to suggest a future model such as the following:

But if OBi ever builds a device with 2 FXS ports, I hope that the device allows for registering several (preferably unlimited, but no less than 10) SP accounts. In such a case, I would hope that the device would allow for configuring multiple SP accounts to ring on one of the lines and multiple other SP accounts to ring on the other line.
Or better still:

I too would like to see a model with 4 FXS ports. And I would hope that such a device would support at least 8 SP accounts. Further, if at all possible, I would hope that a user would have the ability to allocate SP account to the FXS ports as flexibly as possible. For example, on one OBi I might want to have 2 SP accounts on each of the 4 FXS ports. But on another OBi, I might want to have 1 SP account each 3 FXS ports, with the remaining 5 SP accounts on the remaining (4th) FXS port.
