GV for incoming, and Obi for outgoing?

so if anyone could comment on my question about needing to set up pbxes, then ipkall, etc before selecting a provider, or do some providers include those steps in the background?
You've already asked this question in another thread where I answered you. This is why it's not a good idea to ask the same question in multiple threads. It gets confusing.

Ooopsie! To all, sincere apology. I had sort of lost sight of the fact that this was a second posting. I am just so confused about all of this, that it is all running together in my head. Plus the deadline for GV going away is really stressing me.
So would I be advised to remove pbxes and ipkall? I can certainly attest to the fact that it adds considerably complexity.
Also there are several other questions in this thread which are not duplicated AFAIK, so guidance on these will be much appreciated as time is rapidly running out here on the 14th. Thanks.

Do I actually need an incoming service provider (e.g., callcentric) since GV will continue to forward to my home landline regardless of May 15th?
No, if you are currently forwarding from GV to your landline and that is working out for you there is no need for you to get an incoming DID (like Callcentric or IPKall). I assume you get unlimited incoming minutes on your landline?
Yes, you could have 2 (or more) service providers for outgoing calls if you wish. One for domestic and one for International calls is certainly an option. As mentioned, I would look at Localphone and/or CircleNet. But it sounds like you may only need one outgoing service provider. You could get yourself a Localphone subscription that would give you 800 outgoing minutes for $1.60/month. Overages would be less than 1 cent per minute and you could spoof your outgoing number with any number you "control." Disregard the line that says "This service requires you to dial a local landline number." That would not apply to you.
Yes, based on what you have posted I would forget about Callcentric, IPKall, and PBXes. In theory, this should be a rather simple transition for you. You would simply delete Google Voice from SP1 and replace it with an outgoing provider like Localphone or CircleNet. Localphone offers monthly subscriptions (as well as PAYG) and there is also a setup wizard for them in the Obi portal so that may be the easiest route for you to take.

What a complete and helpful reply! I believe that answers all my remaining questions. Thank you.
Had to stop yesterday due to press of other matters, so will return to it and report back how I get on.
