How Do I Set Up A Second GV Number For My Wife's Phone
Motoman:
I logged into the OBi directly and started to figure some of this out. The next thing I am going to work on is spoofing my GV number to show my business number or at least my cell phone number. Thanks RonR. I have rebooted and will see if it worked!

Google Voice does not allow spoofing. The outgoing CallerID on a Google Voice account cannot be changed.

RonR, thanks so much for your help. It is amazing how versatile the OBi110 is. An incredible value for $45! especially when you look at MagicJack, for example. Thanks for the info on Caller ID spoofing. Won't waste my time!
MichiganTelephone, thanks for the tip on how to reset values using the Web Portal. Now I have that issue under control.

Motoman,
There is a way to link multiple Obion numbers to one Obi as the default gateway.
I have 3 Obion numbers with one Obi110 as the default gateway. I haven't changed the configuration in some time but I assume it should still work.
You don't have to, but you may want to start over with the Obi not in any account yet. It just depends on whether you want it to end up in a particular account or not.
You already have 2 Obitalk accounts with different softphone numbers.
1 - Add the Obi to one account and set it as the default gateway for the softphone number.
2 - Delete the Obi from the account.
3 - Add the Obi to the second account and set it as the default gateway for the softphone number.
You will have 2 different Obion numbers with different log in credentials but both will use the same Obi as it's default gateway for all calls.
The advantage, for me, is that I have 2 smart phones and a laptop that can all place calls using the same GV account without any complex configuration. I can dial from all 3 as if I were dialing directly from the phone port, showing the same caller id for all outgoing calls from all 4 locations. I can also use the other services on my Obi by dialing the prefix for them the same as from the phone port.
The alternative is to use the single stage dialing configuration found on this forum, but I don't think you can dial the same as from the phone port because you have to direct the call to the Obi as part of the dialing sequence.

With a single OBi or calling through the OBiON App's Gateway OBi, dialing from an OBiON App is identical to dialing from the OBi PHONE Port. Only if you have more than one OBi to address and the target OBi is not the OBiON App's Gateway OBi do you have to add n* in front of the dialed number in order to address that specific OBi.
