I think that would be dependent on whether
Now if you and your wife had your own Google Voice accounts, you could have both of them running on 1 OBi and then set GV to ring your cell phones so that while you are away from the house you could still receive calls, in fact the OBi at home would still ring and be answerable too. GV does allow number porting from cell phones, so you should be able to get your current numbers onto

I have Verizon, so there's no problem forwarding the calls. Also, I can't port to google voice, because im still under contract with Verizon, and I don't want to pay the hefty cancellation fee.
Suppose I signed up for 2 Skype lines, and forwarded each of my phones to 1 of the lines. Now, if my computer is on, I will receive the forwarded call on Skype. Does Obi have the capability to receive the calls from BOTH Skype lines if my computer is off?
You don't have to cancel your current Verizon phone to port the #, you could keep your Verizon phones with new numbers, have the current #s ported to GV and then when someone calls your new GV #s (old Verizon #s) you can have it set up to ring your the new #s that are on your Verizon accounts as well as ring the OBi device at your home.
If you can forward your calls from Verizon then just forward them to your GV # when you are home, and turn off the forwarding when you leave. The nice thing about the method I mentioned is that you don't have to forward, or un-forward, every time you leave a location.
The OBi devices do not support Skype themselves, there are some SIP2Skype products that can make it work but they require a computer to be running.

Funions,
If you don't mind spending some money, this is what you probably need.

XLink BTTN
If you want to connect one or more cell phones to your regular telephones but want to keep your standard telephone service or want to use a VOIP adapter box then the BTTN model is what you need. You can connect up to THREE cell phones to the BTTN model, as well as, one regular telephone input. This input can come from a regular phone line or from a VOIP (internet telephony) box such as Vonage or MagicJack. (Edit: or OBi110)

Thanks for the info! I actually purchased a device very similar to this, and returned it, as I didn't want to be exposed to thebluetooth combined bluetooth and cellI radiation. I am trying to find a way to get my cell phones out of the equation, and have them forwarded entirely so they can be forwarded andcall used over a radiation free corded phone.
ProfTech:
If I read your 2nd post correctly, what you're looking to do shouldn't be any trick at all. Was there a particular reason you wanted to forward the cell phones to separate numbers? You can simply sign up with your favorite VOIP provider and get a number. Then forward both cell phones to that number. Any time someone calls either cell phone, your phone in the house should ring. I'm not sure what you will see on your caller ID when the phone in the house rings. Seems to me like caller ID should still work but I am not positive.
I can't see where forwarding to two separate numbers is going to buy you anything since the single phone in the house will ring either way but if you really want this all you need to do is get two separate numbers [accounts] from the voip provider. The Obi is capable of handling two accounts.

Funions,
Simply configure your OBi with two Google Voice accounts on SP1 and SP2. Declare the number on SP1 to be yours and the number on SP2 to be your wifes. When you're home, forward your cell phones to your respective Google Voice numbers. Incoming calls from either cell phone/Google Voice number will ring the OBi PHONE Port (with Call Waiting if the the phone is already in use).
You can give out your Google Voice numbers to anyone you want to be able to reach you when you're home but don't want to have your cell phone number.
Outgoing calls will go out either SP1 or SP2 (your choice) by default and the other line can be used instead with a **1 or **2 override.
