How to ring mobile phone from 2 different Google Voice #s

Hi,

I'm switching from PhonePower back to just Obi100 with Google Voice, now that GV is supported again. 

I'm glad I can have two lines again (SP1 and SP2) so one can be my work # and one my home #.  However, they are both Google Voice numbers, and I want my mobile phone to ring when either are called, but currently GV does not allow this (1 mobile phone can be linked with only 1 GV #). 

With PhonePower, there was a workaround by setting up Simultaneous Ring through Call Forwarding menu (http://www.phonepower.com/wiki/Simultaneous_Ring-Aquarius). 

Is there anyway to do this using just GV with Obi100?

Thanks!
Tyler

I think you can just lie about your phone type.
Change your phone type from "Mobile" to "Home" and now it can be defined in 2 GV accounts.

Changed both GV accounts so that my cellphone # is actually labeled as my home #, and it worked!

Thanks.
