I recently bought OBI200 and have installed to work with Google-Voice numbers.   

SP1 --> Google Number - 1-123-456-0001
SP2 --> Google Number - 1-123-456-0002
SP3 --> Google Number - 1-123-456-0003
SP4 --> Google Number - 1-123-456-0004

Phone connected to the OBI200 does display the Caller's  Phone # 123.456.7890,  but not the name.

Is it possible to make the name show up for those numbers that are currently in my Google Contacts using OBI. Will adding to Trusted-Callers and more tweaks help in Caller-Id showing Names ?

I did try by importing 'Import Google Contacts'  from ObiExtras,  but did not help.

No, Trusted Callers is totally unrelated to names.

Displaying Caller Names from Google Contacts is provided by Polycom as a PAID option.

i.e.  OBiEXTRAs | Caller Name & Number :: $4.99 / Month



Caller ID Name & Number

When you integrate Google Contacts with your OBi device, incoming calls from people in your Google Contacts directory will show their name and number on your phone's display.

To enable Caller ID Name, just go to the OBiEXTRAs Settings tab and Import your Google Contacts into your OBi device.

Thanks for the solution. I have been looking for the solution from long time.

I signed up for the OBI extras last week, then imported my Google contacts, but still can not see the caller name.
