Incoming Google Voice calls will present the caller's phone number but no name to the OBi.
Outgoing Google Voice calls will present your Google Voice number and cannot be changed.

I'm not familiar with what Magic Jack and Nettalk offer.
The OBi will display CallerID name along with number if the service provider delivers it. Google Voice doesn't. Keep in mind that Google Voice is free and Magic Jack/Nettalk are not.

My Uniden phone WILL display a name with my OBi because I have the name and number in my phones phonebook. If someone not in my phone book calls me then yes only the number is shown. I then just add that person to my phonebook and the next time they call I get the name as well as their number.
I am not sure if all phones will work this way. I just know my Uniden does and it is a work around for me.
