Have you taken a look at the Simonics GV gateway? Works very well, no detectable latency, and includes CNAM for a one time fee of $5.99.

Taoman...do you know how Simonics is able to make money long term with this type of business model that only requires a one time fee of $5.99. Just wondering because I think the old adage of "If it is too good to be true, it probably is..." may apply.

Good question and no, I don't. I do know he has a good reputation and has been running the gateway since 2011.
Quite a few very experienced VoIP users connect their Asterisk PBX platforms to Google Voice through the Simonics GV gateway.
I got in for $4 but even at $6 I figure it's worth the gamble. For me, the latency has been less than any DID I have tried forwarding to (IPKall, IPComms, & Callcentric) in the past. And the CNAM has been spot on correct.
Edit: And he has a 30-day money back guarantee so it really isn't much of a gamble. Try it. If you don't like it then just get a refund.

Are you able to set this up without paying CC for E911 service? I thought I would try this out, but don't need E911 and the setup is referring to 911 recovery fee. Taken literally, it appears there is a setup fee and 1.50 per month for E911, which I already have.

I am interested in learning more about this. I will monitor the discussion.

I have two Google Voice accounts using Simonics Google Voice Gateway service. The service has been stable since the infrastructure upgrade was completed this past Saturday morning.
My lightly used V-OFC service on a OBi200 is set to use the Google Voice Gateway for both incoming and outgoing calls.
I've taken a more cautious approach for our Home Phone service. Our Home service is on a OBi202 with a two-line phone. I use Vestalink for Home phone service incoming calls. Phone Line-1 uses Google Voice for outgoing while Phone Line-2 uses the Simonics Google Voice Gateway service for outgoing calls. If any issues return, I can quickly convert back to all outgoing calls using Google Voice.
I also have voip.ms setup for testing and as a "Fall-Back" service.

I can now testify that the forwarding to a CallCentric number solution recommended by SteveInWA and gderf works beautifully. I thought I had seen the last of CNAM on my GV number. ;D
