Multiple OBI devices and multiple GV / SIP in single phone system
jimates:
Point is, you and many many others do not, or did not, understand the limitations of google voice.
That statement was not directly related to this situation, only a general statement that says exactly what it says.
cijlevy:
Not sure if anyone will see this - but THANK YOU for all of the responses.
I added the 'second' Google Voice account to each phone i.e.
Obi #1
SP1 = GV Acct. 1
SP2 = GV Acct. 2
Obi #2
SP1 = GV acct. 2
SP2 = GV acct. 1
The 'system' (not sure of Obi - Google or other) kicked me off of both lines and my phone system froze.
Any hints - ideas - thoughts?
Thanks!

cijlevy,
Hi, How many different/unique GV accts are you using. If you want to populate all 4 slots (on 2 OBi units) with GV accts your best experience would be to use 4 different accounts, unless you have something in mind you want to try.
jimates:
You can't have multiple devices with the same Google accounts. Well, you can but which ever unit connects last is the one that rings.
If you want both to ring with the same accounts you can set one up and then fork the incoming call to the second device. Of course you will not get the caller id of the incoming call for the forked call. You will get the id of the device that forked the call.
cijlevy:
If 4 GV accounts is the answer I am happy to organize this.
My goal is simply to be able to take advantage of the Google's ability to 'carry' two calls at once - i.e. if Google voice is busy I would like the second call (to the same Google Voice number) to go to the second OBI device and eventually if that one were busy go on to the third device...
Does that clarify things?
Perhaps I am better off purchasing a number (SIP?) from another provider and registering this to the Obi #2 and then forwarding overflow calls from Google Voice to this number?
Thanks!
