Is there a Google Voice Application for Incoming Calls?
-
If I want the caller ID of the incoming call to show up, its impossible to tell if it is to my mobile number or my GV number.03-29-10 10:44 AMLike 0 - I believe you can set your GV up in 1 of 2 ways:
1) incoming call shows the caller's name (as normal caller ID), or
2) incoming calls show your GV number.
With option 1, you won't know until the call ends what number the caller dialed.
With option 2, you can see exactly where the call is coming from.03-29-10 11:40 AMLike 0 - Yes you can set it up both ways. I like the option of showing the GV number. Also, I have the present option turned on, where when someone calls via google voice, upon answering it says "call from John smith. To accept, press 1". I like this as opposed to showing the callers number, bc this let's me know what number people dialed, so I can moniter my switch over to the google number

I would prefer to know if the call is coming through GV, but I can't stand the call presentation mode. I don't want to have to answer the phone to see if I want to answer the phone.
I personally can't think of a better way to handle it though. If someone comes up with an app or other solution, by all means post it.

Also, I should point out that I only give out my GV number to professional and business contacts, as well as people like the dentist. So, its basically like a group notification when google calls me. The call presentation option allows me to ignore the dentist but answer about that job

Even when I edit a group, it does not give the desired results.03-29-10 01:14 PMLike 0 -
