This link discusses how to add second number:

Not sure I want to do it and certainly don't want to risk loosing my primary GV number.

I'll play with FaceTime for a while. This problem is only when calling home from our iPad.

azrobert:
Get a free Callcentric IP Freedom acct.
https://www.callcentric.com/products/

Register your OBi to this account (extension 100).
Define a 2nd extension (101) on Callcentric.
Install an SIP softphone on your iPad and register it to Callcentric as extension 101.
Zoiper is a free softphone.
Call extension 100 from Zoiper.

Pedro675:
I should add what I've found after doing some testing and research.

I cannot call a landline using FaceTime, unless I do it through wifi on an iPhone with iCloud. I can call a landline using Skype, but only with a monthly plan - USA calling being the cheapest. Before Microsoft took over Skype I could make free landline calls, did it in Europe several years ago.

Not many options except it seems the method given previously by azrobert.

SteveInWA:
From your posts, it sounds like you are located outside of the USA, and/or you refuse to pay for any sort of telephone service.  In that case, do what Robert suggested and get a Callcentric number.  Make that your secret phone-home number, just for that one purpose.

Pedro675:
No, located in U.S. No different than anyone else using GV to get free phone service - why do you use it.

I may have to do robert's approach and will investigate.
