Can anyone confirm that using the a-list you can get both free incoming calls as well as outgoing calls on ATT? I am of course referring to using google voice for outgoing calls, and setting the caller id as "GV number" for incoming calls so everyone falls within the a-list = calls without using your minutes.

I can confirm that it is working for me.
 
i wouldnt know. i pay for 450/month minutes and i'm not eligible for a-list. and since i spend most of my time at home, i just pay yearly for a cheap skype number. thats not as expensive as upgrading to 900/month to meet the requirement for the a-list. saves me about $20/month.

so, i would recomment still using the google voice account, but downgrading to 450/month, and answering all your calls at home with a cheap voip service like skype or magicjack. you can save about $20/month, and still get unlimited calling; just not through your cell.
