bjmjpl,
I just left myself a message on my GV number. You can setup your GV messages by clicking on the gear symbol in the top right when logged into your GV acct.
Voicemail Notifications
Alert me when I have new voicemails
Email the message to: x@gmail.com
If that is setup, when you review the messages in GV I can see the CID and it allows me to download as an MP3. After clicking on the Play message, the download control is hidden in the "More" selection/tab (whatever you call it)
I have not looked at the other service that you have mentioned.

its great but when i forward gv doesnt send the original number
I think it does. GV forwards the call and allows you to choose to show either your GV number or the original calling number. If you introduce the OBi as another link in the chain, the original CID is lost. The OBi only carries the original CID to another OBi/OBiAPP, not to another service.
Therefore if you CF directly from GV to the transcription service, the original CID should pass.

well that i did not know, however i do need the phone to ring a few times to give me a chance to answer it first and only obi allows me that functionality, correct?

Apparantly i had signed up for an ip freedom number not the free number...ahhhh....the things that grind you down for a couple days... :)
SUCCESS!!!!!
with the help of this forum i was able to:
gv with sp1 -
cc with totally free number on sp2
CNAME for my gv line with the free cc number
and....
have CC with their FREE VM pick up after 15 rings and collect the vm and send to my other transcription service an an mp3 attachment AND the original call number.
TOTAL SUCCESS!!!!!
only lingering issue is i can confirm the inconsistency with how many rings you receive which necessitated the drop to 15 seconds for CC to pick up the vm...sometimes it would catch with longer intervals and sometimes GV would...
thank you all again!
