Hi all. I just purchased an OBI and am in the process of porting out my home phone # to GV. I have my existing, primary Google account and currently have a GV# that I use. In order to port out my home phone #, I'd planned to use a secondary google account and port the home phone # (have already ported it to a mobile number and is available for porting into GV) into the secondary account.
HOWEVER, I read this ->
https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?hl=enThis article indicates that you can port in a number to your Google account AND keep the GV# active for an additional fee, giving you two numbers on the same account. This sounds attractive to me as I wouldn't have to maintain a second google account, since it'd solve the issue of not being able to have the same forwarding number tied to multiple GV accounts at the same time, etc.
I'm wondering if anyone has done this with OBI, and if so, what is the experience like? Are you able to use both #s on the OBI? Does it create any issues? TIA for any input!
