Is it possible to have an Ooma device and Obi plugged into the same router? The idea is to have Ooma manage the house lines and incoming calls on the Ooma number would ring on the home phone. The Obi would be connected to a separate phone line in the office and be used for outbound calls.
Second related question. I have a Google Voice number that now forwards to the Ooma number. If I add an Obi into the system would that be a problem?

Unless you have a funky router or have set up some special port forwarding for the Ooma, you should not have a problem.

No, but if you decide to switch your Google Voice account to the OBi you'll have to change the forwarding in your Google Voice account to go to Google Chat rather than the number associated with the Ooma. You may need to log into the associated Gmail account and place at least one call from there (using your web browser) if you have never done that before, so that the Google Chat/Google Voice linkage gets set up properly.
