So I have to play the silly game with Comcast for TV and Internet and it's far cheaper ($99 a month) to get TV, Internet and telephone bundled - to keep a somewhat respectful bill with Comcast each month.
So; since I'm forced to have a phone with Comcast - I'm trying to leverage it with the upcoming GV changes.
I need my OBI for a variety of reasons as I have international family's that call me for free on DID's in other countries, and using voip.ms to call the UK for cheap - so removing the OBI from my equation just isn't realistic.
Is there some way to configure my OBI with Comcast SIP settings? My reason being is when I make outgoing calls with Comcast it will be showing my Comcast number in caller ID, but I really want folks to see my GV #.

AFAIK, direct SIP setup (and configurations) only works with Comcast Business Class service. I have never heard of a residential service user being able to use their own SIP device. I would be very pleased to hear otherwise. If you get it to work, be sure to let us all know.
Under their business softphone area I did find this snippet:
our user name will be the same as your portal login with the following appended to the user name:
@bve.wdv.comcast.net (For Example if your portal login is 630432331 then your Softphone login will
be 436302331@bve.wdv.comcast.net. Your password will be the same as your portal password.
So the question is what might my portal login be so I can try it?
I would like to do the same thing. Did you ever get anywhere with this?
Thanks!
For years, I just forwarded calls to Comcast so called id worked. I did configure 911 to use Comcast, and my 0114 calls to UK to use Voips, and all other calls to use GV
