I read with great interest the very informative and excellent reviews of OBi110 by MichiganTelephone (
http://goo.gl/pDeZ7). I sounds like a great way to utilize GV at home.
I have a specific way I use GV and I would like to present it to the experts on this forum to help me figure out whether it will work:
Currently my GV number is associated with my Android phone (HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T). I use it for:
Incoming Calls
Outgoing calls
Text messaging
Voicemail
I also use it at home (the traditional way with a computer) for International calls only, as I have a Verizon FIOS line for all other calls and E911. I also have netTALK service which OBi110 will replace, as they have annual renewal costs.
It seems that I may need a different Gmail account associated with the GV number.I understand that transferring the GV number to a new Gmail account may resolve the problems some users have when their Gmail is open in a Browser. But I also read that the transfer creates new problems...
Here are my questions:1. Can I continue using the GV number on my Android phone
and with the OBi110 at home? It's OK if it will ring on both.
2. Is there a way to retain the GV number with my original Gmail account and still have a functional arrangement?
3. If I have the OBi100 at home, will it be possible to continue using that GV account with a browser (call back) in other locations?
4. Any other issues I overlooked?
Thank you in advance for any help.
