Have been using Obi device for 5 or 6 years. Currently an Obi202.
There seems to be talk of GV now passing Caller ID info on incoming calls?
My situation is as follows:
Added a PhonePower account years ago because there used to be no Caller ID info (inbound) using only my GV account.
So I now use GV for outbound (don't want to port my GV number anywhere else), so party called sees my GV number.
I forward my incoming GV to PhonePower (in GV setup, not Obi), so incoming calls have Caller ID name / number.
Can I ditch PhonePower and expect same with only GV for incoming and outbound?
I'm looking for actual Caller ID info on incoming calls - not a lookup of google contacts (otherwise no info shows for a caller that isn't in your contacts...)
It isn't the $5 / month that PhonePower costs that bothers me, but the added complexity, and the fact that often times when I pick up a ringing incoming call, the line is dead. Caller has to call back, and sometimes that works, sometimes it is dead again. Probably occurs on 20% of incoming calls via PhonePower. Haven't found a solution...
Thanks for any insight.
