Assume I have 110, GV, & land line.
If I'm on a GV call, and there's an incoming call on land line, will I get a call waiting alert, and the opportunity to switch between the two calls?
I assume the same answer applies if I'm initially on land line call & there's an incoming GV call. Correct?
Yes, Call Waiting works with all trunks.
Lateralg:
Dang. I got one right.

Lateralg,
In simple terms, an OBi supports two service providers, the OBiTALK Service, and a PSTN Line (OBi110).
The two service providers can be Google Voice and/or SIP providers, in any combination.
If at least one of the two service provider channels is configured for SIP, additional SIP providers can be configured on Voice Gateways for outbound calling only (it may be possible to accept incoming calls via these SIP providers also, but not via the Voice Gateway).
The OBiTALK Service is a proprietary service provided by Obihai for interconnecting OBi's and OBiON Apps.
The OBi supports bridging (connecting) up to four calls between endpoints and/or trunks.
Some cell phone services provide free incoming calls. If yours is one, you can configure the OBi such that you call the OBi, hang up before it answers (therefore not incurring a cell phone charge), and the OBi Auto Attendant will call you back. From the Auto Attendant, you can connect to the OBi PHONE Port or place an outgoing call using one of the OBi's service providers.
Lateralg:
Thanks Ron; that helps a LOT.

With just one OBi110, a GV account and a landline, you can set up the system to allow some concurrent calls. For example, the landline is connected to both the Line port of the OBi and phone A. Phone B is connected to the Phone port of the OBi. GV is set to both the landline and Google Chat.
When a GV call comes in, both A and B will ring and you can answer from either. If you answer from B, a second call to either number will still ring A (and give call waiting to B). If you answer from A, the landline is in use and a call to the landline will get a busy; a call to GV will ring B.
If phone A is in use, you can make a call from B (on GV only).
If phone B is in use, you can make a landline call from A. You could also make a GV call from A, by triggering it from your computer, using the OBi callback feature, or dialing through GV. This last method would be charged as a local call on the landline.
If you have a smartphone, the OBiON app can be used as an additional calling path. You can connect via Wi-Fi where available, or over 3G. The latter uses cellular data and quality is often poor, especially when in motion.
