Get a 2nd GV account and phone number for your inbound fax.
Buy the $.99 sim card for the verification call.
I don't think Google has anyway to detect that your sim card expired.
Define the 2nd GV account on your OBi100 SP2.
Cool, thanks!

If I understand correctly, the OP expects to be able to send and receive faxes over a GV number/connection. If this is true, I think the OP should test the reliability of sending and receiving faxes over GV before getting to far into this process. Most VOIP providers (Google Voice included) are terrible and sending and receiving faxes. They might work for short faxes (1-2 pages), but if you hold a connection longer than that, the odds are very high that there will be some sort of glitch in the transmission that makes the fax fail. Fax transmissions are much more prone to jitter, delay, and other transmission issues than a normal voice call is.
Most VOIP providers either have a fax specific solution, or they don't recommend sending faxes over their service. Just something to keep in mind.

Actually it works great. I just tested send and receive.
I obtained a second phone number by using the app called burner, which includes one free limited use temporary phone number, and used that to create a second GV account. My total cost in this is zero.
FWIW the machine I am using as a fax is a brother MFC-9325CW
