Callcentric and Google Voice Setup Guide (with CNAM)
mo832:
I have read and reread this thread, especially the opening post and the original instructions. Now that I have a better feel for this from experience, I am firmly convinced that the original instructions need to be reordered to place the "inside the Obi" section before the "Google Voice" section. This is because GV will insist on calling the new DID (Callcentric) before it adds it as a forwarding number. The DID has to have a place to go to. If the Obi is not configured to receive the CC verification call from GV, you won't be able to "check off" the new CC number in your GV dashboard.
Can someone point out if I'm wrong? I have looked over it and thought about it at length, and I can't see how the existing instructions would ever work (in the current sequence). And that's why people get the "catch-22" described on the first page of the thread.

This thread is two years old, and it is obsolete.
Just follow the instructions here for direct use of GV with OBi:

Or, if you want to use Callcentric or any other SIP provider with GV, then add that SIP provider to GV as a forwarding phone number, and configure your OBi with that SIP provider's credentials.
N7AS:
You are correct.
Example: If SP1 is setup for GV, configure SP2 for CC. Make SP1 the Primary Line. Add the CC DID as a forwarding number in GV. The verification call will come into SP2 (Callcentric). You can hen uncheck Google Chat. All outbound calls will go out GV and inbound through your CC DID.
N7AS:
Steve,
I guess you beat me to it.
SteveInWA:
And N7AS, I was too tired/lazy to go re-write the complete, exhaustive guide to using OBi with GV plus a SIP ITSP, so thanks for adding that.
People, this does take a little bit of "think for yourself" initiative.
