User supplied caller ID information
YaddaYaddaObi:
When I was researching cnam lookups, I found this one to be the cheapest so far. http://www.cidname.com/ I have no idea how good they are though.
BigJim_McD:
An other solution that I'm currently testing is: GVsip, one of the newer services.
GVsip states: "GVsip - Enhance Google Voice
GVsip is a free cloud based service that connects you to Google Voice and turbo charges its capabilities."
https://www.gvsip.com/
GVsip, appears to be operated by the same folks that operate Vestalink.
It can be use Free for up to 1,000 minutes per month.
The advantage over Simonics is that GVsip allows the User to import, build and add to a Phone Contact List that is used for CNAM.
So far, the experience has been a good one but at this point, I'm only using GVsip for a seldom used, except for testing V-Office phone number.

BigJim, Is GVSip appears to be a SIP provider, similar to what GV is providing. I want the CIDNAM info, but If I set this up, I'll be restricted to 1,000 mins a month as opposed to Unlimited through GV directly. I work from home 8-10 hours a day and I use my phone continuously for about 6-7 hours or about 420+ mins straight, a day. Once I break the 1,000 mins threshold it appears as though I'd be charged.
Is there anyway around to not use GVsip as a SIP provider and just use for CID info only?

Is there a way in the scripting and/or routing in the Obi202 that I can indicate to retreive just the CIDNAM from GVsip. If my thinking is correct, if it could work, is that basically each CID would count as 1 min bcs the server has to run the CID.
How can I set it up to just retrieve the CIDNAM?
kccasey:
While I was going through the GVsip setup, I received the pop saying that i will no longer be able to use obitalk.com for my device. I stopped there and decided to navigate the site a little bit to see what else it has to offer.
It provided http://www.opencnam.com/ as a means to setup CID. This site ONLY does CID and it's free. Now, I'd like to see if I can do something about integrating into my Obi device. I have not thoroughly checked everything out yet. So I don't know if it does CIDNAM.
