I am about to port over to GV and use OBi service. This will be for our home phone. Nothing fancy; I just want to simulate telephone service along with voicemail. And I already understand I need to port to a mobile carrier before porting to GV.
My question is about whether it is best to use my personal Gmail account, or to establish a new Seperate Gmail account only for this GV/OBi use? In our family we all use our own Gmail accounts for email and other purposes, including on our IOS devices. My thought right now is that it is better to use a separate gmail account dedicated for this purpose and then have everyone setup with that new account on their iPhones in addition to their main Gmail account. But my concern with that method is that whenever someone clicks on an email announcing there is a new VM, it will launch the GV app, but they will need to enter seperate credentials for the Gmail account associated with the OBi device. These credentials will be different from their normal Gmail loging, so I'm worried it will be difficult to manage each login.
On the other hand, if I use my personal Gmail account, then I will be the only one in the family who will have a single Gmail for both regular use, and for GV/OBi. And the other fam members will still have the same issue. So, in this case, I might want to not confuse everyone and just forward the VM to others when the message is for them. But I don't know if this is possible...
What does everyone else use for solving this issue? Am I understanding this correctly?
