Hey everyone! I hope I'm posting in the right forum. If not, let me know where I should be posting. After 20 years of having 1 landline and 2 cell phones at home, I'm trying something new. And, while I'm at it, I want to see if I can help my parents as well.
For my home, I have purchased a OBI200 (should arrive Friday), and I have set up a GV account to which I have ported our old landline number (using Tello Mobile as the intermediate step). Based on what I've read, I think I can handle that.
Now for the real challenge (at least for me). My parents have lived in the same location in the U.S. for 20+ years and have had the same phone number the whole time. Most recently, they had XFinity cable and phone service. They are now living in Guatemala City and will be there for the next 18 months. Their number is currently with ParkMyPhone. I'd love to know how to put together a setup that would allow them to port their number from ParkMyPhone to a GV account and have an OBI device in their apartment that would connect to my OBI device and allow them to use their number to make and receive U.S. calls.
What hardware would I need, and how would I go about setting it up? Would another OBI200 suffice? Or do I need to get an OBI202 to put in my house and send them the OBI200 so that I can use my GV account/number separately from their GV account/number? Or, if they wanted to just use the GV app on their cell phones (which currently have Guatemala numbers), could they get by without having to have an OBI device on their end?
Please enlighten me! I've been reading and watching videos for a day and a half, and my head is spinning!
Thanks!
