Hello all,
With much help from this community - special thanks to SteveInWa - I have completed my transition to GV. Last summer I installed my OBi202 and put my landline on forwarding to my GV number. In the most recent step the landline was disconnected a month ago and my landline number of 15 years is now my GV number. When at home I take and place calls with the OBi202, when away from home I use the Hangouts app with my phone and the data services of Tmobile.
For a number of reasons Google's Project Fi is interesting to me as an alternative to my Tmobile PrePaid account, but reports suggests that my OBi202 may not fit well in a GV/Project Fi world! The last discussion of this issue on this forum was 18 months ago. So, I ask the question:
If I purchase a Project Fi phone and activate it on a NEW Gmail account (not the account linked to my GV/OBi202),
1) can I add the Project Fi number as a "New linked number" in my current GV account?
2) or, can I receive incoming calls through Hangouts on the Project Fi phone? This would require connecting the Hangouts app on the Project Fi phone to my current GV account - can that be done?
3) or, is there a better way to accomplish the goal of receiving incoming calls to my GV account on the Project Fi phone?
Thanks,
Stan
