Google Voice, in case you weren’t aware, is also awesome.
You’re given one phone number that, when called, causes all your phones to ring.
The process is simple.
The icon you’re looking for is the one on the far right: caller ID.
Pick your country, then put in your phone number.
Then click “Verify Number” to start the verification process.
When it does, you’ll receive a confirmation text message.
For outgoing calls, however, I mostly use Skype.
To people who rely on call display for everything, my entire setup can seem needlessly complicated.
“What number is this you’re calling from?”
“Never mind, this is my Skype number.
you’re free to just call me at the Google Voice number.”
“Wait…what?”
“It’s simple.
Google Voice forwards to Skype and my cell, and I pick it up with either phone.
But now I’m calling you from Skype, so you’re seeing my Skype number.”
So I should call you at this number from now on?"
No, you should call me at my Google Voice number."
“Call me at my Google Voice number.”
“But you never use that number to call me; you always call from this sky number.”
Conclusion
So why is this possible now, when before it wasn’t?
Well guys, did this guide work for you?
Will having Skype display your Google Voice number change your life, or do you not really care?
Is the very idea a needless complication of a technology as formally simple as the telephone?
Or are you still waiting for a Google Voice invite?
