If you can do that, the Google engineer can look at the transit carriers that were used for those calls, and fix the issue.
Sure, I'd be happy to do that. ;)
It's on my calendar for two weeks from this coming Monday (September 29).
Thanks!

Great! Talk to you then; thanks.

Are you receiving Caller ID on your Obi connected handsets without using and extra service like Callcentric?
If you're asking about CNAM then no, that's still not available. Callcentric is the only way I know to get that short of a PBX.
Actually you are right I meant CNAM. I guess my mind was elsewhere when I read the initial post. I have been using the Callcentric trick almost from the beginning. I like it because I can use my CC address book for CNAM lookup. I manually add all my contacts there.

Very well said.
This stuff was all worked out after Obihai was on the GV "death row clock". When Google took its position with the third parties, Obihai had to scramble to come up with a survival strategy, as there was no indication that any alternative could be worked out to continue GV support. Obihai wasn't trying to con anyone; they were doing the right thing for their company and their customers by encouraging users to seek out alternative providers. It's really an example of "don't be evil", that Google recognized the opportunity to help solve the issue, and so now we have a technically sound, more secure solution. Having Chee Chew, VP of engineering at Google, openly comment on the solution should convince the conspiracy theorists that this was a real threat, that has now been worked out to everyone's benefit.
Google Voice is, by no means, perfect, and having another ITSP as a backup or alternative service provider is an ideal approach. Like RFC3261 said, options are good.
I have yet to see anyone blaming Obihai including myself (at least not in this thread). I clearly stated, when the initial response was incorrectly interpreted, that no one could have thought differently based on Google's openly communicated stance.

Likewise. I really like the CC phonebook because of its CNAM override function. I much prefer to see "Dad" listed on my incoming call than "SMITH JOHN." And I especially appreciate the fact you can use the phonebook and call treatment functionality even with DIDs forwarded into CC via SIP URI. I have an IPComms DID I forward to CC via iNum. I also add all new incoming numbers into my CC phonebook.
