Caller ID Name with Google Voice (GV)

<< < (3/3)

Vasanth:
Lisa I am in the same page as you. I also went through the entire chat you had with GV [Red Leatherman] .

I do not have Obi. But I have a JailBroken Vonage VDV22 adapter configured to work with google voice, which I use as my land line. I have a local asterisk server setup where I can write code to format the Caller Id , Caller name and a multitude of other parameters. Since OBI or Asterisk use the google chat interface to make calls through GV , the incoming caller name comes as +1952232XXXX@voice.google.com . I would imagine GV should be easily able to lookup this number against the contacts or a CNAM DB and send us the correct name. But unable to understand RedLeatherman's arguments. May be it would have been better if he had just mentioned its a feature they are not planning to add and left it there.

I am trying to see if I can write code in my asterisk box to lookup my google contacts or a CNAME db. Will post if I make progress.
