I'm a current OBI customer with a Google Voice # that goes to a single handset phone.
Our business is growing and I'd like to move up to a different set up while staying with OBi
We have 2 buildings approximately 400' apart.
The same internet line (but with different wireless routers)serve both buildings and same land line goes to each building.  Currently the land line rings in both buildings at the same time.
Can anyone recommend a setup that has two multiple phones that can interact with each other.  I need the landline to go into each of the phones as well as at least 2 google phone numbers.  We would like to be able to transfer a call from one building to another.
Also, are there mobile handsets that work with the desktop phones systems or do we just use a bluetooth headset?
Thanks in advance!!

I don't know what "two multiple phones" mean.

You can connect to PSTN with an OBi212, but the OBI212 only has 1 phone port for a single line.

The OBi202 has 2 phone ports, but no PSTN connection. You need an OBiLine adapter.

The OBiLine adapter can be attached via USB to an OBi200 or OBi202 for PSTN access. Several people have complained about poor voice quality and echoes. I don't know if these problems have been corrected.

You can use an OBi200 with an OBi212 for a 2nd line. You access PSTN from the OBi200 by routing the call over the network. This is a more complex setup and you can't barge into an existing PSTN call from the OBi200.

You would have one of the above in each building and would be able to transfer calls between devices. You can define 2 GV numbers on each device.
