You need another service for the OBi to send the call out on. A POTS line can only support one call at a time, so an incoming POTS call cannot be forwarded over that. Therefore yes, you must have service from a VoIP provider. Google Voice is one and being 'free' has attractions but there are many other Internet Telephony Service Providers whose additional features may warrant their charges which are generally very modest when compared to a typical landline provider.
You will get the GV callerid when using GV to forward the call.
You will get the original callerid doing this:

Have you configured your OBi to use the GV account? That is, if you have GV on SP1 can you successfully call your cellphone by dialling **1 followed by the 10 digit cellphone number?
What form of call forwarding do you want? Always on every call to the POTS number? Only when you don't answer? Only when you dial specific codes to turn forwarding on or off?
Also, be aware that if you are already on a landline call, then a new incoming landline call will get busy tone from your the Local Office of your landline provider. The call does not reach the OBi and, not surprisingly, the OBi cannot forward it.
How do I get it to foward the call to 2 phone numbers sp1(686878687)(786867786) ??? Work like that ?
