I have Google Voice on my G1, and I'm wondering if there is a way to use a different ringtone for incoming calls on my Google Voice number than from my regular phone number. I've looked around the options but can't find anything as of yet.
Am I missing something and the option is sitting there right in front of my face, or is it just not implemented yet to be able to change the ringtone?

Add your Google Voice number as a contact (I starred mine).
Then assign that contact a different ring tone.
done!

It still didn't work for me :/
The Google Voice number does not call my phone, it simply forwards the calls to my number when people call my GV number. So, say I call my GV number with my house phone, my G1 would display the incoming number as my house number and not change the ringtone to the GV one.

What you need to go is go to settings on GV and change "Caller Id" to display my gv number. That way you get free calls i mean your gv will be calling you. But make sure to put on call screening.

Thank you, that worked. Guess it was a GV issue and not a G1 issue, my bad.
Do you know who is calling you then when someone calls your gvoice number?
You would only know who is calling if you setup GV call screening, so the caller has to announce their name, and you press '1' to accept the call.
With GV passing through the original CID, I don't believe there is any way to set a different ringtone, as your phone isn't going to know the difference. If you use the third party GrooveIP, to send the GV call over IP instead of voice, there may be some other options.

How exactly do I get to the settings of GV to change the Caller ID? I cannot figure out where that setting is. Google again has a great service, but very poor direction or obscure directions on how to implement features. Please help me. Thank you very much.
Hi
I am looking for a solution to quickly change if I want my caller id to be shown on outgoing calls.
I know there is the gsm command #31# but this doesn't work with international numbers nad sometimes even not with local numbers.
I know there is a setting in "settings" but this is quite a hassle always going through several pages of settings.
My anycut doesn'T work on Android 1.6 anymore.
So anyone has an idea for a shortcut or a widget to show and not show the caller id on outgoing calls?
Thanx
I'm just trying to determine if this is normal behavior or not.
I'm paying for caller ID service from Verizon, and it works fine; when a call is coming in I can see who it is.
But after the call is done, if I go to the phone's history, I'll see the caller ID for split second, and then it's replaced with the phone number of the caller.
This makes the caller ID only useful if I can look at the phone while the call is coming in. After the fact, it's useless.
Is this normal? Can I do something to save the caller IDs so I know who called?
Thanks,
Kiran
Anyone know of a call blocker app that blocks all calls that are either not in the contacts list OR the Caller ID is just the phone number, or blocked/"Private Number". It seems most of the apps I've tried so far have this feature except if the option to block calls with no Caller ID don't block calls where the caller ID is just a phone number and not a name. An unrecognized phone number is just as bad as no Caller ID at all in my mind.
I used to use voice choice to do this, but it is now gone from the play store. (worked great)
I have my phone set to use my google voice number for all calls.
Is it possible to have tasker cancel the google voice call and use my true number if a call exists in certain groups/ contact labels? ie. call with GV number, if contact is labeled family, then call with sim #?
