Thanks, Steve. A follow up question on the outbound texting--can it be a text with Hangouts linked to the GV number or does one have to actually use GV for the outbound text to count?
It has to be a SMS/MMS text to another real telephone number. Hangouts is not SMS.

I got the same email from Callcentric. There goes my E911 service as well as my infrequent outbound faxing, and my incoming fax receipt.
Now the choice - do I spend $50 on a new OBi and continue with Google Voice, or do I find a email fax service and move to 100% cell phones, with the GV numbers forwarding to my cell?
I'm leaning towards the latter.
Keeping the DID is only one dollar per month. Surely you can afford that.

I had two free Callcentric phone numbers. One which i used for inbound faxes and the other for calls. I will keep the fax line and dump the other. It is only $1.00/month. BFD.

You might be able to use the line for both with some type of call treatment. A recording asking to press 1 to connect with you, otherwise it times out to the fax service.

It's not a matter of affording, it's whether it's worth any cost. I can afford to have Comcast give me everything, but I pay $20 for 25MBPS internet, and watch OTA TV and stream some things.
I have two phone lines and a fax line. All 3 would be $36 a year.
Or I could buy an OBi 200 when they go on sale for $40. But given that it's 6+ years old, I don't trust that it won't be discontinued in the next year or so.
I've got 2 1/2 months to decide.
