Problem With Callcentric Incoming Caller ID
Studly:
I just set up the free Callcentric DID and have GV forwarding to that. When I call my CC DID directly, it shows proper CNAM. But when I call my GV number, and it forwards to my CC DID, then Caller ID just shows the correct number but says "Out of area."
As long as GV is passing along the callers number, why doesn't CC display the proper CNAM? Is there a setting I need to change or is this the same caller ID problem that others are having?

That has been re chewed over and over. Callcentric shows what Callcentric gets- from Google Voice usually garbage- either no caller ID or fake CLID. It has something to do with the cheap providers GV uses to forward calls to CC's CLEC ( Telengy).
I consider forwarding of Google Voice NOT a good idea and have stopped doing that long time ago.

I figured out my problem ... I had GV forwarded to Google Chat too, so was getting the call from my GV line direct to the Obi and that's why CNAM wasn't showing. Once I unchecked that option, then GV forwarded properly to CC and the CNAM displayed properly.

This issue was resolved several months ago; thus, your comments are no longer applicable.

Seems to be working fine now. I was using a DirtCheap DID, but whilst re-configuring my Obis in preparation for the demise of XMPP, I reinvestigated - and to my delight, I find that Callcentric "free" DIDs now properly receive correct CallerIds from Google voice.
IMO the most economical and powerful solution to XMPP being dropped is
GoogleVoice ==> Callcentric DID for inbound
and LocalPhone.com (with my GV number "spoofed" as the callerid) ==> for outbound
LocalPhone offers outbound calls to the US for prices from $0.001 to $0.005 / minute, depending on your subscription (or not) to a bundle of outbound minutes per month. (I prepay $1.60 for 800 minutes)
For my purposes, this works out even cheaper than the plans OBIhai is promoting.
