Will OBi select 2nd GV account to call out if SP1 is unavailable?

RonR:
Could you help me understand why, with two GV accounts setup under SP1 and SP2, would one be availabe and the other be unavailable ("There is no service available")? Given my limited understanding, I would think they will both fail at the same time, i.e, the OBi device would be experiencing difficulty establishing a connection between the OBi110/100 and the Google Server(s). I thoroughly understand the foregoing if GV was setup on either SP1 and another independent VOIP provider was setup on SP2.
What I'm I missing here?

If I only want SP1 GV# to ring the attached phone, can that be done by logging into SP2 GV#2 on Google Voice
and unchecking 'forward calls to Google Chat'
That's one option. Another is:
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> InboundCallRoute : {}

In the case of an Internet issue or Google Voice server problem, I would think both would experience the same problem in most cases.
Using Trunk Group 1 to 'bond' SP1 and SP2 is more useful from a resource standpoint if you're doing a lot of call bridging via InboundCallRoute rules in the background in addition to making calls to and from the PHONE Port. With two Google Voice accounts accessed using Trunk Group 1, you have a combination of four incoming call capabilities and/or four outgoing call capabilities instead of two and two before you encounter the dreaded "There is no service available to place your call". Plus you don't have to do manual 'load balancing' when you configure things.

Thanks Ron for that feedback and it makes a lot of sense now.
Having said that, what changes would you make to the instructions in post #5 if you want to use Voice Gateway3 (GV3) instead of SP2? In my case, VG3 is setup with CallWithUS (CWU), who expect 11 digit dialing (1xxxxxxxxxx). SP2 is configure with VOIP.ms and has a completely different CID. With CWU, I can set the outgoing CID to match GV CID configured on SP1. The CWU rates are lower also.

Everton,
If you're asking about setting up Trunk Group 1 to use SP1 and VG3, it would simply be a matter of setting:
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Trunk Group1 -> Enable : (checked)
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Trunk Group1 -> TrunkList : sp1,vg3
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Trunk Group1 -> DigitMap : (as appropriate)
Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : Trunk Group 1
This would use SP1 for outgoing calls unless its two sessions were exhausted, in which case it would try to use VG3.
