I have an obi202 coming and have a couple questions. Using Google voice as well.
1. I want 2 different numbers for phone and fax, does that require 2 different google accounts? Can i use 2 numbers under 1 acct?
2. Sounds crazy but can I use my answering machine instead of google voicemail?
3. Anyone using the usb wireless adapter for the obi? Does it work well?
Thank you! :)
1: Yes, you'd need two different Gmail accounts to do that; each account with one Google Voice phone number. Keep in mind: you are only entitled to one free Google Voice number per personal phone number submitted as a "claim ticket".
2: No. If all you want is bare-bones Internet VoIP telephone service, then get that service from a different provider, such as voip.ms or Callcentric.
3: Yes, but it has relatively short range.
Thanks :)
Another question, I noticed watching an install video on You tube they didnt put the area code in while setting up the obi. Seems if I had a GV number 330-xxx-xxxx i would enter 330. Should i leave it blank as well?

Putting an area code in there enables you to do 7 digit dialling for numbers with that specific area code. You can put any area code that suits you in there or leave it blank.
Thank you!!
