Callcentric
Set up 2 separate Callcentric accounts
Do these two steps for each account
1 - Get a free NY DID for free incoming calls (see note below for 911)
2 - Enable caller id w/name, and tweak your settings, in the preferences

Google Voice
1 - Add the Callcentric DIDs from both accounts as forwarding phones and confirm them
2 - Make sure Google Chat is checked as a forwarding phone (this will allow you to use smart phone apps or receive calls in Gmail)

Obi #1
1 - Configure the Google Voice account on SP1, and set it as the primary line for outgoing calls
2 - Configure  Callcentric account #1 on SP2 (select the 911 option if you are going to use it)
3 - Set the Voice Service -> SP1 Service ->  X_InboundCallRoute = {}
4 - Set the Voice Service -> SP2 Service ->  X_InboundCallRoute = {ph}

Obi #2
1 - Configure the same Google Voice account on SP1, and set it as the primary line for outgoing calls
2 - Configure  Callcentric account #2 on SP2 (select the 911 option if you are going to use it)
3 - Set the Voice Service -> SP1 Service ->  X_InboundCallRoute = {}
4 - Set the Voice Service -> SP2 Service ->  X_InboundCallRoute = {ph}



I followed jimates guide and everything works perfectly. The reliance on two free services does make me wonder how long this will remain feasible, but for now it's great. Now that the Obi202 supports multiple devices using the same Google voice account, maybe this feature will trickle down to the Obi100 / 110.

Thanks for the detailed guide.

Sorry for ressurecting an old thread, but I wanted to give feedback since there were no comments on this method yet.
