Hey guys,
I have question regarding AT&T call forwarding. I know how to forward incoming calls on phone A to phone B, but my question is, can I forward outgoing calls from phone B to A also?
I have two AT&T phone numbers, but I don't wan't some people to know about my second phone number. Is there any way I can make phone calls on one phone, but make it appear like i'm calling from the other one?
I tried googling this like crazy, but I'm not even sure what the outgoing forwarding is called.
Thanks in advance

You pick and choose which outgoing number is used

Wow, I've been using Google voice since 2010 for voicemail, and never took the time to look at its other features.
Thanks a lot guys

I actually still don't see an option to change the outgoing caller ID to my cellphone number.
Have you set up Google Voice to give you your own personalized phone number yet?

Yes, I've had my google voice number for about a year now. I have google voice set up on my phone for voice mail only.
From what I've read, what I'm trying to do is not possible.

No...you can't spoof it to show your "b" tele number.
It would have worked better with one att number and one Google voice number.
Unless there is an app that will do it.

I think they were suggesting you just get another Google Voice number to hide your real number. I'm guessing you can't use the same Google Voice number on multiple phones at the same time, but worth a try I suppose...

Hi I have been getting calls from a restricted number, not harrassing, just annoying. Is there a simple app to trace Restricted calls? Thanks for any help
I've looked for myself in the past, but to no avail. Sorry.

You can probably call Verizon the next time that it happens and tell them you're being harrassed (or annoyed) and they should be able to trace it for you.

Ive received a harassing call once before and Verizon cant do anything about it. this isn't an advertisement but do a Google search for "trapcall" i believe its still free, it'll be able to help you.
Cheers!

No app to trace, but you CAN find Reverse Lookup on the market, and if these numbers keep calling, you can use that app to send straight to voicemail.

I googled it and it is not free anymore. Plans start at 5 bucks a month and go up to 25 bucks a month. I also double checked my wireless account (personal not business) and did not see any option that can enable a thing like this.
I can't remember the app name off hand but there are some out there that will allow you to send blocked numbers straight to VM.

Hello All,
I used to have an iPhone 3G, where my voicemail was easily available via the dialer. I have not checked my voicemail since I've bought my Atrix 4G (which has been over a month). I'm not sure if rooting, and theming may have screwed up my settings or not, but I attempt to access my VM and it asks me for a mailbox #. WTF?!? I never EVER recall setting up one, as far as I know it was just there and tied to my phone. I was able to access my VM by calling my phone number from my cell, but now I attempt to do that and I get a busy signal.
A tad frustrated, so sorry for the crazy rant above. Has anyone else experienced the same/similar situation? And if so, is there a way to fix it? I don't want to result in calling Customer Service/Tech Support for ATT until I've attempted to troubleshoot things here, since they will probably ask me "have you done anything to your phone" and I'll have to be like, "Yes, I attempted and succeeded in making it better from your and Moto's BS filled phone."
Thanks all for your time!
Press and hold the #1 on the keypad for vm.
If it asks for a mailbox number, you will have to call AT&T.
This is typical for users going from visual voicemail to standard voicemail.
Some AT&T reps forget to reconfigure your vm.

I thought anybody with a Google phone would know to use Google Voice.
When you cone from iPhone they cancel your VM. You have to get them to set it up again, then you can use it.

They don't forget to reconfigure it, they actually cancel it. They just forget to add it back for your plan.

This is what I use, but it doesn't hurt to have the carrier's VM to fallback on.
How can I change the amount of rings it takes to have voicemail pickup? It takes way too long. I tried to Google it but didn't find my answer. I'm not using a Google# if that helps. I'm using my cell #

I believe you're going to have to call sprint if you're using sprint. Your title says Google voice- so if you're not using Google voice and using your cell with cell phone number then yea youll have to contact your provider. Or check the settings within your phone settings

Disregard sprint...you have the thunderbolt. But I still think you'll have to contact Verizon.

Yes, you actually have to call VZW and have their rep set it up. Had a similar issue with the number of rings before going to VM. The rep resolved the issue for me, although I had to explain how Google Voice works before he understood fully what needed to be done.

how did you explain it to him/her? sometimes the associates i talk to arent the sharpest knives in the drawer
I could be wrong but I think MMS is working across all carriers for google voice now. I've been receiving pics from people that normally couldn't send them to my GV because they didn't have Sprint for the past few days or so and didn't really think anything about it until today. Any of you tried it out lately? Easiest way to do it is to have your gv texts forwarded to your main text app and try to send/receive from there. This being the case I pretty much have no reason to even give out my real number anymore.
What I've found is that I if someone sends a mms to my gv number I will receive the txt part in the GV app and the image in the email I have linked to the GV account.
Pretty clever....

What! I need to check this out......
Edit:
CONFIRMED! I'm never giving out my real number again!
The only bad thing is that you can't send mms via GV, at least via the standard app but, having this feature is a good start.

try merging your sprint and gv account and then have gv forward all incoming to the stock messaging app. that way you are sending and received from stock mms.apk. that'll prolly do it.
You dont even need to merge the accounts...just have gv forward your texts to your normal sms inbox. I just do both out of go sms but both numbers are still seperate.

Hmmm doesnt seem to working for me unless there is a huge delay(pic sent about 10-15 mins ago)
Worked for me. I found out by accident. A friend that didn't know my number can't receive pics sent one and I was surprised when it came through.
fyi I'm on T-mobile
Im wondering if there is a app or a way to have another number tied to my phone by a app. I want to set up a business but i don't want to use my personal number if i don't have to. Maybe even a number that people can text also. I have paid for groove ip before but its not a dedicated number people can call or text.

Google voice is your answer.
Set it so you can choose between your regular number and your google number when doing an outgoing call.
Texts to the google number go through the google voice app, while your regular number gets it in your normal messaging app.
Any incoming calls will be routed through your normal phone app.
I have never been able to get google voice to work is there a set up instruction page?

Also, You could always unlock it (cheap and easy) and buy a prepaid plan sim from another carrier (I see you are ATT like me. T-mobile sims work on our model if unlocked, vs vzw or sprint). Suppose you could skip the unlock and do the same on your existing carrier.
Then of course there are the options your carrier have for a second line.
I don't remember if there was a setup instructions but I set up Google voice on the computer and it was very easy. That's what I did for my business so the phone rings with both numbers
You can also add a regular voip account into the phone app to use data instead of voice for phone calls. I use it all the time with a voip.ms account.
