2 different phone numbers in 2 locations with 1 Obi110?

(1/3) > >>

walenta:
Hi, I am going back and forth between 2 houses
have Obi110 setup in one house with Phonepower and new local phone number - works great!

now in second house , still have a landline I barely use, but some folks Dr, School etc know the number, so I am thinking to add a 2nd service to my Obi110 - thinking of Ring2 - it looks as I have a second SP2 slot available on Obi device ....

it means that I have to take the Obi110 with me all the time as I go back and forth between houses... which is fine....

will this setup work?
does it then mean that both Phonepower and Ring2 lines are active all the time with Obi?
on the ring2 tutorial - it mentioned that Obi purchase must be after May1 .. mine was last September... ??

any ideas welcome on how best to keep my other number around

drgeoff:
Once correctly configured,  your OBi110 will have both the Phonepower and Ring.to numbers operational anywhere it can get an internet connection. In addition it can be configured to make and receive calls on the POTS line at the second house.

You may also consider obtaining a second OBi device. Apart from saving the inconvenience of having to move the 110 you can configure the two units such that you can answer and make calls on the POTS number when in either house. (The second OBi does not need to be a 110.)

rolandh:
A point of information. As pairing RingTo with an OBi requires purchase of associated E911 service from Anveo, 2 open SP slots are necessary. Since the 110 has only two slots and Phonepower is already provisioned to one, this solution may not work.

do you agree with ROLANDH? .. that my setup wit only  SPS may not work.....???????

.. actually need another clarification...

you mention that I can still use my POTS line....
actually the whole intent is getting rid of it.... I wanted to keep the number, port if over to RING.to and then cancel the landline....

will that work?
