Title: advice on config with Obi 202 and google voice
Post by: dmont on December 13, 2015, 08:03:26 AM
I just bought a Obi 202 and want to set it up with 2 lines (1 main and one fax line).
I am replacing a Comcast Voice phone and have started porting the phone number to
an ATT PhoneGo so that I can then port it to Google Voice.
I currently have a Google Voice number already, but I want to use my ported number as my main one and keep the current GV number for my fax.

What is the best way to configure ?

Do I need 2 separate GV accounts ?
Could I just port my number to the same account and then keep the current number (after paying for it) and end up with 2 numbers and one GV account?

If I understand correctly, there is a new way to authenticate a GV account where Obihai does not need to have my username/password for my gmail account. That seems to be much better in terms of security as I have a lot of information stored in that account and want to reduce the exposure.
Is this new authentication method secure ?

Thanks for helping me.
