what hardware for 2 cell phones in Mexico
Bobswee:
My wife and I live in the U.S. with a landline and two cell phones. We need to keep both #'s rather than getting new google #'s. We also have a vacation house with internet service but no landline in Mexico. Do I need to get an Obi110 for the U.S. house and another one for mexico, as well as an Obi202? The goal is for us to make and receive calls to and from the U.S. while in Mexico from callers from the U.S. How would I configure this setup on both ends? Thanks.

If you need to have two phone calls at once in Mexico you need an OBI 202, otherwise a 100 will work
If you want to call from Mexico to US and then dial out thru your landline you need an OBI 110 in the US
without setting up a GV #, someone could call your landline# in the US, dial out thru your OBI 110 and reach your OBI in mexico
When in Mexico, you can dial OBI (100 or 202) to OBI 110 in the US, and make a US call thru your landline
If you don't use your cellphones when you are in Mexico, you could fwd both of them to your landline
others can tell you if you can do an auto forward from one OBI to another

Bobswee:
Thanks for the response. Could I ask a couple of related questions? Can I port the two cell #'s to google voice or do I need to just forward the #'s each time? If I can port the numbers, can I do both or do I need two separate accounts with separate hardware? Thank you for your time.

are you trying to get rid of your cell phones and just keep the phone numbers?
What are you trying to accomplish in detail?

Bobswee:
We just want to be able to make and receive calls while in Mexico. Ideally, we would buy a cordless phone and that phone would ring when someone from the U.S. calls one of our cell phones, and be able to use that cordless phone to make calls to the U.S.. I asked about porting the cell phone #'s because I would rather not have to forward the calls to a new google # each time we go down there. Thanks
