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

Ok, So I am a pretty technically inclined person, but the whole phone thing and all of the acronyms makes my head swim. I have read all 6 pages so far and I am just trying to cull out the simple answer.
I have an Obi 100. Google Voice is configured on sp1 and Anveo E911 is on sp2. What is the simplest and lowest cost (not free) way to still keep my GV number for incoming calls and show my caller ID for outgoing calls? Can it be done on the 100? I am not married to Anveo if there is a way to make low cost calls and still have E911.
Right now it seems like it would be easier to port my GV number over to the NetTalk device and just be done with it.
I really only need the phone to keep some of my cell minutes down and most importantly to have E911.
FameWolf:
Sign up for callcentric, forward google voice to it. Incoming is taken care of. You could even consolidate your e911 to callcentric freeing sp2 up entirely for a new service. The specifics for this are mentioned in detail several times in this thread including the first page.
lhm.:
Consider gv911.com as an alternative to Anveo or Callcentric for e911

Voice Gateways give you the ability to set extra service providers for outbound only calls. For example: You could have a gateway for dialing 911, a gateway for local, a gateway for long distance, a gateway for overseas, and a gateway for 800 calls. It obviously does not need to be that complex but I want you to understand you have a lot of options available.
Something else to consider is there is no need to port your number. Many providers will spoof your number. I would put incoming on SP1, 911 on SP2, and outbound calling on a gateway using the cheapest provider that does spoofing + allows calls without registration.
Another option: Pay $1.50 per month for unlimited incoming plus 911 with Callcentric. Forward Google Voice to Callcentric to free up a spot.Then use SP2 for cheapest available outgoing calls such as localphone for 1/2 cent per minute and set it to spoof Caller ID. You would only pay for outbound calls this way and would not have to port your number.

OK, that makes sense. That was the explanation I was looking for.
At any rate I will sit tight until May and check here frequently for any new developments on this front.
Thanks you very much.
