This will stop any CallerIDs of less than seven digits:
Voice Services -> SP2 Serivce -> X_InboundCallRoute -> {(x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx):},{ph}
Yes, this is what I did and it is working as well. The leading "?" was the culprit.

There are other methods which may suit you better. For example search for the "Oleg method".
Nice. I entered {>1777XXXYYYY:ph} and that works too. However, I can't call from the ObiON app on my iphone. Is there a modification that allows those calls to work? I didn't see that in the threads I read.
Edit: Also for calling from one Obi to another..
Thanks,
Tom

Nothing you have changed should have affected that. Calls from your OBiON should call out through your Primary Line, but it depends on what is in this InboundCallRoute:
Voice Services > OBiTALK Service > InboundCallRoute

Regarding the "free beer for life" argument--
It is my belief that most people are like myself in that we don't expect it to be free forever, but we assume it will still work indefinitely, just we may have to start paying, which is reasonable. What annoys most people about this is that they are essentially cutting it off as we know it. They aren't pulling the "free", they are pulling the "beer". Like if they said, from now on instead of getting free beer, we are now going to give you ginger ale for 1 penny a gallon, and stop offering beer altogether. That's nice, but what do I do for beer? Go to the next town?
And in some cases, it was conceivable that they could either charge a small amount OR introduce advertising like in gmail. That's a way of "charging", just not cash from the user.
But nobody expected the route they chose.

Ok, yes you are right. I think my phone didn't Acquire Service or something. It is working. Thanks.

By "nobody" you mean you. A lot of people expected this and even worse.
Google is notorious for discontinuing many services, and in this case they are just turning off one little aspect while the main service appears to be continuing for a while longer.
The history of the popular internet (i.e. since about 1995) is a history of services being discontinued by all providers. Ever heard of geocities? DejaNews or Usenet in general? Is the altavista search engine still around? Billpoint? X.com bank?
GV is a cloud service. A better fitting metaphor than "cloud" has yet to be invented. Ever try to contain and pin down a cloud? They can appear and disappear totally outside of your control, and when they disappear you have nothing. Even if you have a contract with the provider they can disappear, and since you pay nothing for google voice, you have no service level agreement (SLA) or contract to fall back on.
To try and claim "nobody expected" it is silly hyperbole. Maybe it is true that many people never anticipated that google would discontinue XMPP and Jingle to make calls. But it should never have produced any surprise response more than a "well, that figures.".
