So Obi and GV won't play together in 6 months
Milton:
Ok so I think I've got this figured out. My goal is if you are not one of about 10 people, I want your call to go to GV voice mail with out ringing my landline. Easy enough with the Obi100 connected to GV via XXMP. But when GV stops supporting XXMP, I'll need something like a CallCentric DID for the Obi100 and have GV forward calls to the CallCentric DID. But what stops unwanted callers from calling the CallCentric DID number? Well here are the CallCentric "Call Treatments" that take care of that:
- Anyone that I want to be able to ring the home phone goes into a GV "white list" that will forward them to the CallCentric DID. They also go into the CallCentric "my Phone Book"
- CallCentric Call Treatment #1: If calling number is in the CallCentric Phone Book, forward the call to the default CallCentric extension.
- CallCentric Call Treatment #2: Send all inbound calls to "Error message: number has been disconnected"
This will work since I have a small number of people on my white list. It would be nice if CallCentric could identify calls forwarded from GV, but I have not been able identify how.

I'm pretty sure the originally called number remains in the CID header even after it goes through Callcentric. Someone that understands the "OLEG Method" might need to comment on this but I think the Obi can tell whether the initial call was placed to your Google Voice number or to the Callcentric number. It can then make direct Callcentric calls not ring your phones. That way all calls can be managed through Google Voice.
