So a call forwarded using the same sp service will be recognized by google as it's own number and the call will be sent direct to the google voice IVR.
This is not true. Before posting, I confirmed that with only one Google Voice account, an incoming call to my Google Voice number can be forwarded back out on the same Google Voice account, even to another Google Voice number.

"another" is the key word.
My first sentence
You can set up 2 GV numbers on sp1 & sp2, and the Obi can use one of them to forward calls to the other one
Says exactly what you said.
You can forward it to any # you want, except the same gv number for the service you are forwarding on.
Now read what I said in the other sentence
You can't forward a call out on channel 2 of the sp service to the same sp service when using GV as the provider.
Meaning you can't forward a call coming in to a gv # out to the same gv # using that gv account.

Why would anyone try to forward an incoming Google Voice call back out that Google Voice account to his own Google Voice number? Even if it worked, you'd have an endless loop.

Plenty of people don't understand the features and limitations of google voice, especially those new to both GV and the Obi.
You, yourself did not know you couldn't use another gv number as a forwarding number, when we first started on this forum. http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=331.msg1707#msg1707
Look at how many times people post about not being able to call their google voice number without getting the IVR.
If they think the caller id is going to be passed through from the original call it is easy to misunderstand. Especially when Obi says each gv account supports 2 simultaneous sessions.
Many, many people are saying every day, "what does what I just read mean".

That's only true for setting up a forwarding number on the Google Voice web site. It's not true for forwarding from the OBi.
