Obi ONLY for outgoing calls?
ProfTech:
I've no idea what the OP is trying to accomplish, either but I used a 110 with a landline and VOIP for years. With a 2 line phone, connect one line to the Obi and the the other line to the PSTN. Works beautifully. I had dsl at the time and used voip for all my "long distance" calls and the Obi automatically routed all local (7 digit) calls to my landline. You can conference the landline with the VOIP and yes, make a call on the landline while on a voip call.

I believe the OP wants all outbound calls to have the GV CallerID. The 2nd line connected this way will have the landline CallerID. The OP could get the GV IVR by calling his GV number then make a new call to get the GV CallerID, but that's a pain.

1. Can I use the obihai to make outgoing calls so that my caller id shows the GV number?
2. Since I have a 2 line phone I would like to be able to make calls on both lines using the same GV number.

Ok so if I used the Obi212:
2. If I have a 2 line phone, would I be able to dial out on both lines simultaenously? Ex: If I place a call on line 1, can my partner also dial out on line 2 at the same time?
Yes, though you cannot have two simultaneous calls on a landline.
I thought the OBi212 only has 1 FXS port.
Correct, an OBi212 will only support one line of a 2-line phone. I shouldn't reply to posts when my mind is on other matters.

Would I be able to do this on a Obi212? If I understand correctly there is no more support for Obi112?

I believe one possible scenario would be setting up sp1 and sp2 on the obi to use the 2 line phone (my phone has a line 1 and line 2 combined option) and then to use the landline to call 911 I would just have to live with dialing **8 beforehand.
