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.
giqcass this sounds great. I tried to get my IpKall verified to Localphone account last night, but Obi never rang. Maybe something with my existing GV configuration, digitmap or? For step 2, I forwarded to Anveo, so I wouldn't have verification problem you described at the end of the thread you started. But it didn't work.
I will try again asap because your method does sound ideal for setup #1.

Did you test calling your IPKall number from somewhere else? The number has to be working in order for localphone verification to succeed.

I tested IPKall # and it didn't work...rang for two minutes and then I got busy signal. ???
On IPKall website I set IPKall number to use Anveo SIP, but do I need to have obi configured to use Anveo if I just want to test IPKall number?
Obi is currently setup with GV and Localphone as service providers.

Ipkall will attempt to contact you for 120 seconds by default before giving up. If you forward IpKall to Anveo you must be able to receive incoming anveo calls or it won't work. You don't need Anveo to be configured on your Obi to make outgoing calls but your Obi must be able to receive incoming calls from Anveo.

This is a great thread, so I hope it can wake up for a bit ?!?

My query that I hope Gigcass may reply to is that I already have a working IPKall # which (for now...) is used as a forwarder for GV and works as well as I would expect it to.
So, given that, would one do your suggested procedure differently to change a number like mine around - or would one abandon the existing number and start anew ??
Also worthy of mention IMO is that after eading your sig several times I visited e164.org and then Sipbroker.
Most of the stuff there really does look a bit too complicated for me.
What really grabbed my attention the most at that Sipbroker site is that it is extremely dated and has a great many dead links posted all throughout the site.
One of those is http://www.voxalot.com - which gives only: 403 Error - Forbidden
And that one is one of it's associated sites...
Thanks for any info & pointers.
