Rick is correct, do not waste your time.

This may work for you though.

So just to be clear, we are both talking about INCOMING caller id name, yes?  And if the Google Chat data stream had the name data in it whether by doing a CNAM lookup or using my Google Contacts, then ObiTalk could show it on my phone, yes?

My Panasonic phone shows the names if they are in the address book (given that cell phones do it for a decade now, it's strange that other regular phones don't!). Given that about 80% of my callers are in my address book, it's almost as good as CNAM lookup!

Google Voice was not meant to be used in the way we are using it on the OBi.  In the United States it is up to the phone company terminating the call to provide incoming caller ID names from its own database.  Since Google Voice did not intend it's service to be the point of termination there is no reason for them to provide incoming caller ID look-ups as part of the service.  In the case of Google Talk terminating the call the chat software does this look-up from the users profile.

That is one way, but the cleaner way (IMO), and the approach with a good following on here of course, is this: Callcentric and Google Voice Setup Guide (with CNAM).

In reply to LisaIL's third post, it only gets you CNAM for calls received via the Obi.
