OBi110+ 1GV+ 1 PSTN, + SAME GV as VONAGE EXTENSION

1st Part Good!
Hi I have the Following setup all incoming calls to Office (PSTN) on OBi110 are bridged to my GV forwarded to my Mobile Phone fine there.
2nd Part trying to figure out
Consider the active forward all the time described on the 1st part, I want to call the office PSTN from my mobile and automatically forward the call with the OBi110 with GV to my Vonage Access number witch lets me call free to anywhere. (I have my GV registered as a Vonage extension)
I am a little confused should I add my mobile number to my circle of trust or use AA?
Thanks in advance for any help!

If what you are trying to get is making a free call in North America using the OBI, why don't you just make it using GV, like this:
POTS-line InboundCallRoute -> {(514xxxxxxx):aa}
Circle of Trust (COT) configures the AA just so. That might have been the confusing part. Putting Vonage into the loop might be unnecessary unless you have a reason for it, other than the call being free.
Are you trying to get the Vonage CID instead of the GV CID to show on the call?

Office Number in the Caribbean PSTN
GV USA
Vonage Extensions USA
Mobile Number Caribbean can make free Calls to Office on PSTN on OBi
Mobile +Vonage Extension with GV = Free Calls All the WORLD!
So I need for the OBi to recognize my Mobile and Automatically Dial my extension number and Pin.
From there I can call Free The World!

If you want a call from your mobile to your office number to bridge directly to Vonage extensions, you could use e.g.:
LINE Port->InboundCallRoute: {(12223334444):SP1(13334445555)},{ph}
where 12223334444 is your mobile number and 13334445555 is the Vonage Extensions access number.
This would allow you to make Vonage calls from your mobile using two-stage dialing instead of three-stage dialing (calling the office number would get you directly to the Vonage prompt). With most modern mobiles, you could program your contact list with a pause, to completely automate the call. However, you would no longer have the option of using GV directly and would have to go through Vonage. You also would be unable to call your office directly, unless you blocked caller ID or your office has another incoming number.
There may be a less expensive and/or more convenient solution to the overall problem. Vonage World is not cheap and their rates to destinations not covered by the plan are quite high. Also, you may be able to use the callback function of your OBi to save on cellular minutes. Which Caribbean country are you in? Which countries do you call the most? Landlines or cellular? Approximate monthly usage? Does your cellular plan provide unlimited calling to your office number? To other numbers in your country?

The main Vonage number is not paid by me I only pay the $9.99 of the Vonage extension.
Country Dominican Republic of Office and Mobile.
Free unlimited call from Mobile DR to office DR
Free unlimited calls from GV USA with Vonage Extension USA to anywhere in the world Mobile or Land line.( Vonage has a limit of 3000 minutes/month or 283 minutes per call, I have never gone to the limit)
I call Local Numbers DR, Mobile Numbers DR and Local and 1-800 Numbers in the USA mainly. Another catch, calls to the office are routed to follow me to my mobile same line I want to call back to the office (free) and would like to make calls for free that way I dont have to be in the office to call everyone for free.
