Can I have more than one Obihai Units working on one modem?
Sheffield_Steve:
Wow, That is the way I have my two GV numbers setup. (Both forwarding to the same cell phone)
All appears to be working correctly. What "Bad things" should I expect?

Warning: You can't use the same phone number (forwarding number) as you used to setup the current GV account to setup a new GV account. Bad things will happen if you try. You will need 2 new real phone numbers to setup the GV accounts.

I don't have 1st hand knowledge of this policy. I'm quoting SteveInWa, our resident GV expert. The bad thing is you will be locked out of your GV account. I don't know if that means one or both accounts. Maybe Steve can chime in and clarify the policy. I'll see if I can find his post.
I'm not talking about adding a number to a 2nd GV account as a forwarding number. This is allowed. This is about the initial setup of the GV account. You can't use the same number to initially setup 2 GV accounts. This is to prevent fraud. One example is people would get a 2nd GV account to change their phone number and avoid paying the $10 fee.
If you have setup 2 GV accounts with the same number, maybe Google has changed their policy. Please let us know if you have done this.

Thanks,
I have two separate Google Voice numbers that both forward to the same cell phone both set up as a mobile phone in Google voice (T-Mobile). It's been this way for more than year and appears to work just fine. (i.e. No lock outs yet)

Please clarify. Were both GV account initially setup with the same cell number?
Sheffield_Steve:
Yes,
It was the same cell phone number, but initially I had one GV number marked as a home phone and the other as a cell phone in Google voice settings.
Some time last year I found it was possible to also set the one marked as home phone to cell phone. GV gave an error but it still did it.
Now I can get calls and SMS's from either Google voice number to my cell phone.
