Incredible PBX + GV

[jason559]

I have setup Incredible PBX from their guide. But, it says I have to "Set up a dedicated Gmail and Google Voice account". So, I made a new account and then used sipgate to bring our primary GV phone number into the PBX. The problem we're having is that when we make outgoing calls, we can't find a way to set the outgoing caller ID.

We don't want to show the "dedicated" GV account number as people are expecting to get calls from the primary GV number we've been using for years. Any way to change the outgoing caller ID number?

You can only use your Google Voice number as your CallerID, but Google now will let you transfer a number on a different account to your current account. Here's how.

Wow, a reply from the creator himself Thanks!

So, we'll try that, requesting a move to another account, as the account. Any ideas if GV allows a call to come in if we are on a call, etc?

Do you have any references you can provide to help setup the 1535 with video calling on our asterisk box?

Ward,

Just to confirm your post. I have a google voice number and two through Vitelity. Using the vitelity numbers, I can apparently specify any CallerID I want. On the google voice line, it seems I cannot override it. Is this the given and unchangeable behavior?

Thanks,

Ken

kflorian,

While I personally don't use Google Voice, it's been said elsewhere on the forums that you cannot set the caller ID on a GV call in FreePBX.
