Is it possible to configure the Obi110 for two separate Google numbers so that each number rings a different physical telephone? I've been fooling around, but haven't figured out a solution.
As an alternative, I'm wondering if I had a small router and one Obi110 box (mine) and one Obi100 (friend has one that's not being used) if it would work that way.
It may be that I need to move up to the Obi202, but thought I would check here first to see if anyone's tried anything like this.
Thanks!
Hi, lmr1121 and welcome to the forum.
This would be a great question for New to Using the OBi / VoIP forum. In fact, this question was asked and answered many times.
In short, no - you can only hook up one physical phone to OBi100 or OBi110. Both OBi202 and a "small router" would work. Is there a router in current configuration? If yes, than you probably meant "a small switch".
I was wrong when I said "The OBi202 has two phone ports, but only one of the services can be Google Voice." Thanks for the corrections.
I now see that http://www.obihai.com/docs/OBi202DS.pdf specifically says that up to 4 GV accounts can be used. I don't know if that differed from some earlier documentation. I normally don't make things up like that.

The OBi202 has the ability of 4 service providers. You can have up to 4 Google Voice numbers configured or any combination of GV and SIP providers for a total of 4.
I can confirm OBI202 = up to four services. They can all be Google Voice if you want. Plus of course OBitalk as a fifth service.
The 110 can support two services plus 1 OBitalk account. It only allows one telephone to be connected unless the second phone is a VOIP phone. If you had a cheap VOIP phone you could ring that and a regular phone.
Alternatively you could ring one phone with a different ring for each Google Voice account.
