gqaa, if you want to forward calls with the Obi202/200, you can. The device is designed to do it and it does work.
Either in the ObiTalk portal or via the UI, take a look at the "Calling Features" section of your Google Voice "Voice Service" (most likely SP1). You can route your calls conditionally, specify the number of rings before it forwards, etc., and choose which SP it goes out on. Some of the features you can activate via star codes, although I don't see where you can set the ring count with those.
Thanks for your help!
let me just explain whats happening to me. when i activate call forwarding on my obi then only my other google voice rings but not the forwarding phone (even if i make unconditional forwarding).
so can you pls explain clearly what i could do?
Thanks

Okay, now I'm not clear what you're trying to do. Please explain which device which line/service is on, where your GV numbers are set to ring in GV's settings, and under what conditions you want to forward an incoming call on which line and to where.
Feel free to use letters, like "GV A is on Obi200 SP1," etc.

I am using one gv line with my obi and that gv line is also connected to my hangouts so when i get a call my obi and hangouts rings but when i make call forwarding on my obi then only my hangouts rings and the obi and the forwarded phone does not ring.

SteveInWA is right. This doesn't work. GV won't give you two sessions right up front. Which is what is causing the symptoms you're seeing. The Obi is forwarding your call, so it won't ring, but GV doesn't have a line to connect it, so it goes to the great bit bucket in the sky.
You'll need to add another SIP carrier.
So, once you have a carrier on SP2, you'd dial the star code you want (for always, for busy, or for no-answer) and then: **218005551212# and that should work. After that, you can make changes in the UI if needed. Or just use the star codes.
Fun Fact: If you get an initially free voip carrier, like Callcentric, you can make non-PSTN voip calls for free. If you use SIP Broker to route the call, you can code that in your call forwarding. For example, I just tested using voip.ms to call a Callcentric line, by coding this in the CallForwardUnconditionalNumber field: SP2(**275*46217779999999)
**275 is the route to SIP Broker from voip.ms (also from Callcentric and several others.)
*462 is the carrier code to Callcentric
17779999999 is the format of a Callcentric account number.
So, what happened here is a call came in to GV on SP1, it was sent to call forward via voip.ms on SP2 to SIP Broker who routed it directly to a Callcentric account number without going through another DID.
I see a couple of different carrier codes for Sonetel in the carrier directory on sipbroker.com. You'd need to test them to see if any work. Or call Sonetel's tech support for guidance.

that when i am not home my calls should be forwarded to my cell phone
If you just want to forward calls to your cell, would you consider installing a softphone on your cell. You can then register the softphone to a free SIP service and have the OBi202 forward the call via SIP URI. Using this method you will see the original CallerID.
