Howdy,
New OBi202 user here. This little box is a technological wonder!
I just ported two numbers out of Vonage (my circa 1999 landline number and a 870 area code Virtual Number that is local to my folks) to T-Mobile. I started the process on April 11 and my landline was ported to GV on April 15. The VN just hit my cellphone today. Not too shabby, overall!
SP1: My Google Voice account
SP2: Open
SP3: Open
SP4: Anveo E911
Today, I realized that you can only port one number into Google Voice.

1. Port it to my wife's Google Voice account which becomes SP2. ($20 port, $0 monthly cost)
2. Set the calls to forward to my main number and pay T-Mobile $5/month forever (same price as the Vonage VN)
3. Use another carrier like CallCentric, Anveo, Localphone, etc. (I doubt we would ever use that phone for calls, but I do like the idea of having a redundant VOIP provider.) Service provider opinions welcomed, too!
4. YOUR IDEA HERE
I do like the idea of having that phone number ring to Line 2 so we can instantly tell who's calling. We already have a two line phone, so that would be pretty handy.
I'm continuing to read the Forum, but figured I would get a better answer from the experienced users.
Thanks in advance!
Jason
