How to Change Your Google Voice Caller ID
Google Voice is an Internet-based calling solution that allows you to call domestic and international landlines and cellphones for fixed, often low rates. If you set your Google Voice account as such, the service forwards calls others make to your Google Voice phone number to your cellphone. Adjust your Google Voice caller ID settings to change your preferences on which number appears on your cellphone's screen when you receive a forwarded Google Voice call.
