Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice

Correct, I did not read the amazon reviews, but I have read other reviews, and I recommended it to a friend who is distrusting of anything that is not the phone company or the cable company and is very unwilling to mess with complicated settings. He loves it and he renewed it for the second year when it came up about 4 months ago. So he's had it for about 16 months and no complaints. He even called cust svc a couple of times and had good things to say. I know it's just one story, but it does count for something.
And even magic jack, while they have lots of horror stories, if it was complete crap, they couldn't sell millions of them. For the most part, it does what it is supposed to, and for the price, people tend to cut it some slack. People pay the phone companies and the cell companies hundreds of $$$ a month, and they *still* screw up your billing and your service and have call centers in foreign countries and they tell you their name is Keith when it's really Rajesh.

If I understand this correctly I should be able to use the new york did for free incoming....I believe based on my reading I should also be able to setup a washington ipkall number that ALSO points to callcentric....then in callcentric setup a rule that looks at the number that was dialed and routes all calls to the washington number to callcentric's internal fax receive service that goes to email...this gets you a permanent fax line and it doesn't expire every 30 days like the other free one's (90 days with no activity I think)....but I'm a little fuzzy on the actual steps so if someone has time to break it down for me please drop me a pm/email. The main part of confusion is setting up callcentric's rules so main # still gets calls and washington # goes to fax.

Route your IPKall number to 17771234567@in.callcentric.com.
Where 17771234567 is your Callcentric account number.
Setup 2 call treatments in Callcentric.
Route your DID to the default extension.
Route your Callcentric account number to FAX.
In the past I couldn't get an IPKall number to route a FAX to either a real FAX machine or Callcentric's FAX to Email. Try it. Maybe it will work for you.
If it doesn't work you could reverse the numbers. Send your DID to FAX, but you won't get cname with IPKall for inbound calls.

Hi there, azrobert- I posted a very related question on the Callcentric (CNAM) thread, and your answer above seems to contradict what they told me over there. If you point an IPkall number to your CC 1777xxx.... number for incoming calls, and you skip the NY free number altogether, will you still see the incoming caller name from CC if you use this setup with an Obi box? I am only referring to voice calls and without special treatments.

I haven't tried, but assumed you won't get cname using an IPKall number pointed to a Callcentric account. If I'm wrong I apologize.
Edit:
First, I don't have any DIDs with my Callcentric account.
When I clicked on Preferences/Cnam I recieved message "There are no phone numbers on the account". This implies cname only works with Callcentric DIDs.
Have you tried getting cname with an IPKall number?
