Need a VoIP to bridge GV and ObiHai/cell

(1/3) > >>

nums:
I have 3 Google Voice numbers I would like to use with one cell phone and a yet to be purchased Obi200 for my POTS handset. I will be keeping the carrier assigned cell number separate. I know how GV works, but am having difficulty understanding where I should find the 2nd required forwarding number for GV. (Google Voice only allows a forwarding phone to be used 2 times.)

I read I can pay monthly for a Skype In/Out account. This number would only be a forwarding phone for a GV account, and would need to send all its calls to the ObiHai handset and cell phone for answering. Is Skype a good choice, or are there better options for what I need to do? Thank you for any help.

nums:
Do I even need a second VoIP service at all?

Can the Obi200 send GV calls to my cell when I'm not at home, instead of my assigning the cell as a forwarding phone in GV?

And if so, do these GV "Chat" calls immediately ring the ObiHai attached handset, or are they "forwarded" to the handset in some way, creating an additional transfer time-delay for the caller. (I don't think I want to put people thru the pain of a double-transferring call.)

Alternatively you can have GV forward calls, or you can have GV ring both at the same time-- the first to answer gets the call.

Please note the reason for my posts: GV will not allow me to forward to the same cell 3 times.

The OBi202 can simultaneously send the inbound call to your handset and your cell. This is called Forking.

You will need to install a softphone on your cell and register it to an SIP service like the free SIP2SIP.
