Google Call Back Clarification
Hortoristic:
I've seen some posts about how we can make use of our Google number, and it will call back and connect both parties.
Can someone elaborate on how this works, or if I'm even on the right track?
Example:
I dial a friends number in CaliforniaThe OBI somehow leverages my GV which connects my Comcast number with my buddy in California but my buddy is seeing my GV number, not my Comcast #
Even if we are using that new small bucket of minutes that Anveo is offering, it uses the smallest increment to initiate the call, but then Google completes connecting both sides, but not using the Anveo outgoing minutes.
Is this really how GV call back can work and if so - is there a good article you can point me to; to set it up?

AIUI the only GV "callback" method is when the call is initiated by inputting call details on a webpage at google.com/voice. GV then calls you on the phone you have specified on that webpage. When you answer GV rings the callee's number. When that answers the two legs are bridged.
Normally the details are entered on the web page by a human (you). However Sipsorcery can initiate GV calls from a phone. It does that by accessing by its "machine" accessing the same web page and automatically inputting the required info. (All the info except the callee number is prestored in a dialplan on the Sipsorcery server.)
When you use any phone service (SIP or POTS) to call your own GV number you then have the option to onward dial a call (at no cost in N. America). There is no callback and you incur normal phone service charges to your GV number for the entire duration of the call (to GV and the onward call).

To use SIPSorcery for this, do they make you sign up for the pricey plan?
lhm.:
The $69.00 plan will work fine with GV.

If you have cell service which allows "Friends and Family", and you list your Google Voice number in that list, then whether you call it and it calls you back - or you call it and make a call - everything is then at no cost to you.
