Setting up GV for Callcentric inbound and Chat outbound using same SPx profile
drgeoff:
Anyone considering using azrobert's suggestion should note that it requires a static public IP address from your ISP. Many ISPs supply a dynamic address which is liable to change. And there are even cases of ISPs using Carrier Grade NAT and giving an address in one of the private ranges.

The main downside is that annoying moment of silence you have to remember to account for when you answer an incoming call.
Yes, that's my main quibble with Simonics. That's why I use Simonics only for outbound calls and continue to use Callcentric for my incoming calls forwarded from GV. Also, keep in mind if you give up your inbound CC trunk you're also giving up CNAM override thru your CC phonebook, call treatments, and some great telespammer protection.
I was going to bring up the static ip address issue with azrobert's solution but I didn't really think you'd be going that route anyway. I really don't care to do port forwarding unless it is a last resort and nothing else will work.

You could setup a Dynamic DNS service. I use FreeDNS and as the name implies, it's free for their basic service. You would then use a name like 0@azrobert.xyz.com:5061 instead of an IP address. You need to setup a mechanism to update your account in case your public IP address changes. If your router doesn't have this function, the OBi can be hacked to perform it. If you use the OBi and move it to a new location, the IP address will automatically update. You would have to setup port forwarding in the new router.

You can manually update the IP address by pasting the URL link into a browser. giqcass is defining auto provisioning in the OBi with that URL link. The auto provisioning fails, but the IP address is updated.

I also notices the 1-2 seconds of silence from a incoming Simonics call... I suppose after you answer count 1-2 then say hello LOL...
Second...
The callcentric CNAM database they USE is a DIFFERENT CNAM database than SIMONICS uses.
My MAIN phone # that was a vonage # transfered to GV (323-999-XXXX) Phone number, my REAL NAME Shows (from old vonage database)...
On SIMONICS it shows a FAKE name (BUGS BUNNY)(HAHAH) that I created on listyourself.com(or net or whatever)
same scenario with a few other #'s that Ive notices SAME THING once I have dumped CC and switched to simonics.
just a FYI on CNAM
