Need 3 lines (w/ 3GV accts) and want to use OBi202 this way - will it work?
sic0048:
As noted, the Obi 202 has two phone lines, but allows up to 4 service providers. This would allow you to have three GV numbers as well as use Anveo for your E911 calls.
You could set phone line #1 up to be your line which would call out and receive calls on your GV line.
You could set phone line #2 up to be your wife's line which would call out and receive calls on her GV line.
But with just a single Obi202 device, you would have to set the device up to call out on the third line by pressing a code and then the phone number. Something like *9 and then the phone number. This third line could be set up for your kids GV line. Incoming calls on the third line would ring line #1 or #2 (or both) and can be set with a distinctive ring so you know that the call is coming in on your kids line instead of your or your wife's line.
As suggested earlier, if you don't want to make your kids dial a special code, or if you really want to separate your kids phone line from yours and allow them a totally separate phone, then I would suggest getting another Obi device (even the 100 would work fine for this). Set that device up with the kids GV number AND the E911 provider and they will have their own independent system.
While I haven't tried to connect to a E911 service provider from two different Obi devices, I cannot see why it wouldn't work. Just put in the normal user name, phone numbers, and passwords of the provider in each Obi device and I suspect both will connect just fine.

Also helpful. Thanks.
