Using OBi110 PSTN as Primary Outbound - Want PSTN Caller ID to be presented

The caller ID that shows up on an outbound call is our primary GV number, not the PSTN.

We're not giving up the landline just yet, and want those called, including emergency services, to see our legacy number, at least on local calls.

If that's not possible, is there a simple alternative to presenting or legacy caller ID without porting?

Thanks for your help!

You can setup the OBi110 to use your PSTN line for local calls.

GoogleVoice allows only their caller id number on calls they terminate.  You can setup other pay-as-you-go voip providers in addition to GoogleVoice on the OBi110 that do allow you to use your legacy landline number.  Voip providers such as voip.ms, callwithus, anveo, others.
