optimizing thrifty setups (replacing Google with Localphone, others)

Dieter, one of the reasons I would not set Localphone just as a Voice gateway is the exteremely low costs and high quality of many ( not all) of their DID's. I have next to a US number also DID's from Netherlands and belgium and they provide a true land line quality for 1$ /month. that saves me long distance costs because people can always call me back on those numbers. Also, my mom can call from her prepaid cell overseas via calling card my I-num DID for free.
I would rather set up Callwithus as a voice gateway in order to get cheaper rates to some destinations Localphone is too expensive, like European cell phones.
I also have a dim opinion about all that forwarding. Creates problems an latency. If you have to forward for some reason use a single step forwarding, e.g. Localphone for 0.5c/min or less with subscription. Like someone else said "keep it simple, it will become complex by itself".

Accessing voicemail on localphone. Speed dial below. This would be a good test number to make sure set up is correct. The Obi dial plan would need to be changed if you wanted to dial this number from the phone without a speed dial. The * key causes a problem.
SP1(*1571)

My reading suggested dialing of sip uris from outside localphone was not possible. My testing suggest otherwise. Dialing of localphone users is possible without registration.
SP2(Your Localphone Internet Phone number or your friends@localphone.com)
or
SP2(Your Localphone Internet Phone number or your friends@proxy.localphone.com)
This means Non Localphone users can also call you using a sip uri.
Your Localphone Internet Phone number@localphone.com

I think I have came up with a better solution for your setup #1. Anveo is not needed so it's one less service. All incoming calls are free and outbound calls use localphone like you wanted. IpKall can be directly routed to localphone. I started a post in another section just for this solution but here it is again. In and out calling is seamless once set up. It only uses one service provider slot. With this set up enum numbers can also be dialed free. This set up also provides Caller ID for free. Service provider slot 2 is left open to do whatever you like.

Free Incoming DID on Localphone.
1) Create an IpKall number.
2) Forward it to a sip uri that will allow you to take a call.
3) Create a LocalPhone account.
4) Add your IpKall number to the Localphone account and verify it.
5) Enter your localphone credentials into your Obi.
6) Replace the sip uri on IpKall with your localphone SipID@localphone.com
You now have a free incoming localphone phone number that will also display when you dial out using localphone. Google Voice could be added to the mix if desired.

Localphone does not provide E911. If that is not an issue, sounds like this is the easiest approach yet.
