Like others, I now see that GV only shows the CallerID number but not the name.
From what I have seen, there is no way around this. Correct?
If so, does anyone know of a Voip company that I can use with my Obi device and that keeps the Caller ID name in tact?
(To be clear, I am talking out the INBOUND Caller ID Name. The Caller ID phone number shows, just not the name.)
Voip.ms @ $0.008 per in bound call.
Thanks alot!
Any other, or is that the only one?

Most companies offering "unlimited" plans have CNAM: VOIPo, Phonepower, Vonage, etc.
Several high-end PAYG providers include it: Callcentric, Anveo.
Some PAYG providers have it as an option, with a per-call cost: VoIP.ms, Vitelity.
If you have your own IP PBX, it likely has a feature to look up a name, using a free or paid data source.
With many providers, a call from a number in your contact list will cause the corresponding name to be sent.
