Need a VoIP to bridge GV and ObiHai/cell

<< < (3/3)

nums:
GV will handle 2 accounts for any phone, just label the cell Home & Work, instead of Mobile. But I need a total of 4 numbers (3GV + cell#) for one phone. People have been asking Google to change this limit for years, but their intention was to unify our devices with one number instead of the other way around.

Great combo with your apps. I'm curious about Mo+. Will look into it. Thanks!

I have an Android smart phone. I installed the Google Voice app on my phone and registered the GV number that I am using as my home phone number with it. When someone calls my home number, both the phone connected to the OBi110 at home and my cell phone will ring and I can answer the calls from either one. This GV app is using the minutes from the cell phone plan. I have an unlimited talk, text & data plan so it's worked very well for me.

I also installed the Mo+ PHONE for Google Voice & GTalk, which uses WiFi or data connection for talk & text via my 2nd GV number. So actually, my cell phone is handling 3 different numbers, the cell number + 2 GV numbers.

Routing vs Forking. What's the difference? Can I assume the terms are interchangeable for my purposes?

Need to verify "OBi200" (not Google Voice or OBi202) can be programmed so GoogleChat calls ring the attached handset PLUS an additional phone number.

A search of "fork" or "forking" on the OBiHai website only lists a feature of the OBiPLUS unit at http://www.obihai.com/docs/OBiPLUSTutorial.pdf

OBiPLUS Features /User Features /Incoming Call Routing /For each rule you may specify:
A list of one or more entities to ring simultaneously. An entity can be
an OBiPLUS extension, or an external number. When the list has more
than one entity, we refer to it as “forking” (routing to more than one
destination).
Hope I ordered the right OBi. I found in an OBi document stating that neither the OBi100 or OBi110 do forking. Nothing was written about the OBi200 that I could find.

nums,

All OBi devices are capable of "forking" from their InboundCallRoutes. The usual limit is that a call may be directed (forked) to up to four destinations from any one incoming call.

Thanks ianobi for the correction. This adds to all the units an important feature missing from Google Voice.
