Need a VoIP to bridge GV and ObiHai/cell
azrobert:
There is another way to forward calls to your cell without the OBi202.
Setup your cell with a softphone and SIP2SIP.
Get a free phone number from IPKall.
See: http://phone.ipkall.com/
Point your IPKall account to your_userid@sip2sip.info
Use the IPKall phone number as a forwarding number in your 3rd GV account.

Forking + free SIP service + softphone app! Sounds more direct than GV#--> IP# to softphone app (on wifi/data).
Can I push even further please? Is there a cheaper-than-Skype way to aquire a phone number to receive the GV#3 calls using cell minutes instead of wifi/data? Sorry my telephony knowledge is so limited - I keep getting lost in terminology searching the Internet for this.

You can have the OBi202 fork the call out one of your GV accounts to your cell number.
Using this method you will not see the inbound CallerID on your cell. You will see the GV CallerID.

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.

Thanks so much azrobert! I'll try the last forking method to begin with, since the GV CID is already working well for me. It will be great to pare down to just one cell, one landline. (I assume the Obi200 and Obi202 both fork in this manner.)
Amazing help on this forum!
