Find something else to crusade about. It wasn't even your issue to begin with.
Need the last word much?

Now if I'm still coming across as unclear on what I was asking then I will clarify the best I can:
All I was saying is Google seems to have their own CNAM lookup system for Android called Google Caller ID.
Since Google Voice does not do these lookups then simply put Google should merge the Google Caller ID into Google Voice itself. (Maybe this is not possible. If so then I am sorry for not knowing this. I did make a thread to ask for clarification on this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/voice/author$3Ame/voice/ThVzUiDlQOo)
How it works in Android is when a number calls and it rings into the Dialer then the Dialer uses the G-Caller ID to do a lookup.
This currently only works with your cell number being ringed to the Dialer or your G-Voice number being forwarded to the cell number when of course ringing the Android Dialer.
This does not work with the Hangouts dialer (yet) or devices like the Obihai.
So all I was saying since I was told this was Okay to do by the Engineers is to ask everyone to go submit Feedback and request to Google to add in Google Caller ID functionally into Google Voice.
Does G-Voice on the Obi even displays the name and number of your contacts when they call? I know it does on Hangouts on PC or Mobile. I believe you need to add your contacts to the phone's address book itself.
So maybe Google will add this since they are "officially supported" along with some type of Caller ID lookup. Maybe this is something they haven't thought much about yet. So clearly if they receive a lot of user feedback on it then they will be inclined to add this feature.
Hope I'm clear now.
If the current Google Caller ID can't work for Phone devices they could still offer some form of CNAM support and there is nothing wrong asking others to submit Feedback for this feature with the Feedback Tool. That's what it's for! FEEDBACK!

It should be added that Engineers do in fact chime in the forums time to time and do encourage people to submit Feedback on features they want to see.
