Are calls possible while mobile?
SteveInWA:
All Googly services are accessed via, and attached to, a Google account (Gmail username and password). Google Voice is one of those services. You authorized your OBiTALK devices to use the Google Voice service on your accounts. Hangouts is simply another service attached to your account. It is a VoIP calling service, and it will make and receive calls using your Google Voice number. If one of your accounts doesn't have a GV number, then you can still make outbound calls, but no caller ID will be sent.
If you are using an iPhone, download and use the Hangouts app from the Apple App Store. If you are using an Android phone, download both the Hangouts app and the Hangouts Dialer app from the Google Play Store. Beware of fake apps with misleading names.
Hangouts uses data connections (e.g. Ethernet, WiFi, 4G) to make and receive calls.

Please verify that I understand what you want.
You have a non-GV provider that is your local number.
You want people to be able to call that local number and reach you on your mobile.
What provider are you using?
Solution#1
Get a free SIP account like Callcentric's IP Freedom acct.
Install an SIP softphone on your Android and register it to Callcentric.
Route inbound calls to your Callcentric account/mobile.
Negative: You need 2 apps (softphone and Hangouts)
Solution#2
Inbound the same as #1
Outbound: register the OBi as a 2nd extension on Callcentric.
Call the OBi from your mobile and get connected to the OBi Auto Attendant.
Make outbound calls using the AA.
You can ring the phone attached to the OBi.
Negative: 2 stage outbound dialing.
Solution#3
Get a free SIP2SIP account.
Install CSipSimple softphone on your Android.
You can make and receive calls with CSipSimple.
CSipSimple integrates with your Android and you must use the native dialpad.
Single stage outbound calls.
You can ring the phone attached to the OBi.
Negative: Every time you make a call, the phone will ask whether to use the mobile or CSipSimple.
This is the most complex setup of the 3 solutions.

You are absolutely correct as to what I want to be able to have happen.
I want to be able to make and receive local calls through my 202 while mobile. Adding Hangouts sounds interesting but superfluous. Also my main GV# is non-local for dialing in. Without checking, there should be two open slots for more services, if necessary.
My DID service is CallWithUs. It works, but not yet while mobile.
I have an OnSIP account, but have done nothing with it yet.
azrobert:
Do you know if CallWithUS will register 2 devices with the same credentials or if you can setup a sub-account (a 2nd extension)? This would be the easiest setup. Just install an SIP softphone on your mobile and register it to CWU then route calls to the OBi and the mobile.
If you can't register your cell to CWU do the following:
I'm not familiar with OnSip
Get a free account at SIP2SIP
https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Install CSipSimple on your cell.
Add an account.
Use the Basic Wizard
Account Name: SIP2SIP
User: Your UserID
Server: sip2sip.info
Password: Your PW
SAVE
Your account should register to SIP2SIP
Return to the CSipSimple dialpad
Tap Android Menu
Tap Settings
Tap Easy Configuration
Uncheck Integration with Android
Save
Post back after you get the Android to register to SIP2SIP and I'll show you the OBi config.

I attempted entering the credentials for two SIP clients (CSipSimple and Xoiper), but there is a confusing naming of terms, so I am not successful yet.
