Question About Outbound Calls with new DID & GV
clambert:
So I’m searching for a solution to replace Google Voice on my Obihai. I’m trying to wrap my head around how I need it to work and thought I would just ask.
I understand for inbound calls I can continue to forward the calls from my GV number to a new DID number. But how are the outbound calls handled? I don't want to confuse people with a different phone number. I’d prefer not to port but still want my GV number to be displayed. Is there a solution for this? If so, what should I be looking for.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You will have to buy outgoing VoIP service from someone. They will allow you to assign your GV number to your outgoing CallerID.
MikeHObi:
At a minimum, you need to purchase outgoing service from someone. Most companies provide options of pay per minute as well as packages where you prepay for a block of outgoing minutes.
In addition, you may or may not need to pay for a new DID, E911 service and incoming minutes (if they are not free for the DID you purchase or already have).
clambert:
Thanks for the feedback. Out of curiosity, what do you all use as a provider? Right now I am focusing in on Anveo & Callcentric.
gderf:
As long as the quality of service holds up I will go with obivoice.com, but not until after May 15 at the earliest.
