OBi with two Google Voice accounts

I see no reason why the Callcentric (or anveo for that matter) account cannot be setup on one of the Voice Gateway Accounts or even through a speed dial entry, with the appropriate variables specify.
Although I've never tried it, it's my understanding that one of the SPx services must be setup for SIP in order to use SIP dialing on the gateways or speed dials - even if the gateway/speed dial is using a different SIP provider.

The SPx Service referenced in any SIP context (Speed Dial, Voice Gateway AccessNumber, etc.) MUST be configured for SIP. There need not be an actual SIP provider in use on that SPx Service, but that SPx/ITSPx combination must be configured for SIP and not Google Voice.

Can the phone port from 2 OBi devices be hooked up to the same telephone if a line splitter is used?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Brad,
You can connect a second Obi's phone port to the line port of the first Obi. Set up your service on Obi 2 for your 911. Default settings on Obi 1 will send 911 calls to the line port (Obi 2) by default.
You can also set up a second service on Obi 2 (3rd GV # etc) and incoming calls will ring the phones connected to Obi 1. If you want to place an outgoing call via Obi 2 you just pick up a phone and dial #, this will get you the dial tone of Obi 2 and you can then place the call using whichever service set up on it by dialing the correct format.
Brad:
Thanks everyone. It seems the multiple OBi device (in my case 2) workaround is currently the only feasible solution to the 2 service provider limitation issue.
OBi,
If you are reading this, can you please expand the maximum number of service providers to at least 5? This would be a terrific value add to your product. As more families begin to catch on to GV and combine with your product for near-free landline service, this issue is sure to creep up and bite others as well. Generally speaking, people are not going to want to buy multiple devices and daisy chain them. The ideal solution is to expand the number of service providers on a single device. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

each gmail account can have one google voice number.
You will set up 2 separate accounts with GV numbers. Each will have it's own google log in credentials. Then set one up on SP1 and the other on SP2.
Not necessarily true. For free, yes, but you can have a GV number forwarded to another GV number on the same account for a fee.
