Number porting to GV - my experience
PennyCat:
So I’m awaiting my line to be ported from Anveo to T-Mobile in order to port it to GV. What is the preferred option for 911 and/or CNAME caller id?
SteveInWA:
Callcentric.
stevies3:
if using Callcentric as the 911 & caller ID option, can the Callcentric number also be used as a second phone number for a fax machine?
SteveInWA:
If you want to route your Google Voice number's inbound calls to a Callcentric phone number, then that CC phone number will be receiving voice telephone calls on your attached phone. If you also plug in a fax machine, you need to either set it to not auto-answer inbound calls, or you need to get another (second) Callcentric number, and dedicate that number to your fax machine. In so doing, you'd set the ring pattern for the second number to be a "distinctive ring" pattern, and your fax machine would have to be able to properly handle answering only on the distinctive ring.
Callcentric also has an inbound fax mailbox service, which can receive inbound faxes and email you the document as a file.
As for outbound fax, sometimes it's flaky, due to VoIP technology vs. fax technology, but you could fax from either the GV number or the CC number.

Has anyone known of someone that has "rolled the dice" and ordered a prepaid SIM card and completed all the porting over without making test calls, texts, etc. in a unlocked phone? Only reason I ask is I do not own a unlocked cell (have a locked Verizon) and am trying to avoid buying one just for the purpose of a quick test. Thanks!
