Callcentric and Google Voice Setup Guide (with CNAM)
bobd:
Thanks for your quick reply.
I siigned up for IP Freedom as it was free, but now think I need to sign up for North America Basic at $1.50 set-up and $1.95/mo.
For just $1.95 per month our new North America Basic Plan comes included with E911, 120 minutes of outbound calling to the United States/Canada/Puerto Rico, UNLIMITED calling to Toll-Free Numbers, UNLIMITED in-network calling to other Callcentric customers, and full support for all of our FREE value added features.
Again, due to my ignorance of this subject, I believe that the intent of using GV and OBI is to have unlimited talk inbound/outbound. So my confusion is why CC says 120 minutes of OB calling.
So my questions are:
Do I just go ahead and sign up for the No. America Basic plan and us it for inbound calls (a set up on OBI?)?
Do I us GV for outbound calls? If so, then how odes the E911 with CC work?

I think this addresses your question: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=2076.20
but I don't use CallCentric 911, so another person might verify if the forum posts I found answer your issue
ps
this is what I pasted into Google search to find an answer

Thanks.
All the threads seem to be really old on this topic so it is hard for me to align what I am seeing on CC with what is being described in the threads.
I think if I go this route I'm going to need to pay for a plan, but I don't want to be constrained to any minutes allocation. They have outgoing plans and the cheapest is the North America Basic plan ($1.50 set-up/$1.95/mo), but again it says 120 minutes outbound calls per month. I think I can configure OBI to use GV for outbound (I think). But then I believe I won't get the CNAM and E911 from CC if I do this! All the inbound plans are around $5/mo which starts to get pricey when trying to strive for no cost.

Don't you see this when you log into your Callcentric account? Just click on the link and sign up for E911.
You don't need to sign up for an inbound or outbound Callcentric plan, just E911. You have unlimited incoming and outgoing calls with Google Voice. Yes, you would receive CNAM for incoming GV calls forwarded to your free and unlimited Callcentric DID. You would set up forwarding to CC from within your Google Voice account. This is much simpler than you are making it out to be.

DID you order IP FREEDOM ??
Next, order Free Phone Number?
when you order the free phone number it asks you to pay for 911
(I just created another CallCentric account 5 minutes ago, so I know it is the same process as the old posts explain)
What do you mean by "I think I can configure OBI to use GV for outbound (I think)"
I just told you in an earlier post that you can.
