Trouble restoring my config
Many years ago, when they still charged for a long distance call, I got a GV PH #1 in a state where I still had family. The reason was so that they could call a local number, it would ring on my home phone in another state and there would not be any charges. I had it setup as incoming only, no outgoing. This has worked for many many years without issue.
About 2 years ago, I got an OBi200, "somehow" got a GV ph #2, and connected that to a different physical phone wired into the house on line #2. . Both systems have worked without issue since then.
Last week, while trying to make a call on the OBi ph#2 got " No service configured error"? The configuration "looked good" and after some reading, discovered that I needed to update the firmware on the OBi. The update was installed and there is where my original configuration went bonkers. Problem: Ph#1 is now on the 2nd line physical phone (OBi connection), Ph#2 has been lost.
The original GV Ph #1 is tied to a GV account. That number shows when I pull up the GV web page.
The OBi GV Ph #2 does not have a GV account? that is why I said earlier "somehow" I got that number. I don't recall that if during the installation, OBi configuration asked me for location and then gave me a phone #?? in my area. I wanted some confirmation that this was in fact a GV number. Tried to add Ph#2 number to ph#1 account, error message said "cannot add another GV Ph# as a forwarding #" , also checked
Freecarrierlookup.com and it also came back as Google Voice p#.
Things that I have tried without success:
1. Tried some "tricks" while on GV ph#1web site. It was configured as phone type "Mobile", it was changed to "work" and ph#2 configurated as "home"
2. Tried to use wife's Google account to add Ph#2 with the associated number. Will not allow me to do that because the number is already in use, don't want to add a new number to accomplish this.
Desired configuration as original, GVPh#1 rings home phone, GVPh#2 OBi rings phone on line 2 for incomming/outgoing calls.
Sorry for any confusion here.
