should all incoming GV calls be forwarded to callcentric number?

(1/2) > >>

Hi,
I just set up my OBi100 with GV as SP1. I plan to get the free callcentric number and set it up as SP2 for e911 support.

The callcentric website says "Each Free Phone Number must receive call(s) from the PSTN totaling at least one (1) completed minute of use every three (3) months; or they may be removed from your account without warning."

Does that mean I either remember to call that free NY number every few months, or should I forward all incoming GV numbers to the callcentric number? Does sending incoming GV calls to callcentric instead of directly to the OBi cause noticeable delays/quality loss? 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I think there is a lot of useful information there and it probably also addresses more complex thing than I am looking for.
The one thing I didn't catch was if forcing all incoming calls to call centric was *necessary* because of their clause/requirement that I posted.
We may indeed be related/similarly crazy ......

Thanks again! This forum is great!

Burried on the 3rd page of this thread you will see some results of passing calls through CC. Also from personal experience I lost my CC account due to inactivity.

I suppose you might be correct. All this call forwarding must have a cost.

Only one way to find out how many rings/seconds this set up costs. Anyone with GV->CC->Obi setup willing to try using a cell phone and count the rings on the cell phone before it hits the OBi?

carl:
You can, off course, call your own callcentric number, with my 2 line phone it is not a problem. Even better is to use Callcentric once a while, I bet you can use sometimes 3 and 4 way calling or use them for overseas calls in cases where their price is lower than the completion( they have a few, not too many)
