Thanks to you both.
Frunple - Interesting thought to be able to have a "dial plan". Would that mean I could hit a star-something to get a GV dialtone - the rest of the time it could be POTS?
For now I intend to just have a GV phone only, no POTS connection. Maybe in the dead of winter when I get some time I can play with it more.
You could hit something, or you can set the dial plan to do it automatically.
**1 then number will use the service provider 1
**2 service provider 2
**8 POTS
**9 obi network
edit:the above assumes you didn't change the default digitmap on the Phone port.
They actually call it a "digitmap" but it's a dial plan in any other sip environment. This can get really complicated but you can set a plan to use the GV for outbound (yes the free GV does outbound, not sure why anyone would think it wouldn't?) for even one number you dial. If you look at a dial plan, an "x" is a wild card. So in my job we provide DID's that would be, say, 516-123-1000 through 1010. A plan for this would include 516-123-10xx which would allow all the DID's. So If you want to dial 203-123-4567 over the GV only, everytime you call that number, you can do it with a dial plan.
Like I said, it can get very complicated though.
