Formatting Caller ID Number

[mhobizal]

Is there a way to format the Caller ID number from Google Voice that is being displayed on my phone?  Every time I receive a call I always see a 1 before the number.  I would prefer to remove the 1 and just see the area code and number.  I'm only using GV at the present time.

Thanks!

The Obi simply forwards what it receives from Google on to your phone. If Google is sending a 1 there is no way to remove it. If you would like to use *69 to return a call it is likely you will need the 1 on there anyway.

Maybe this thread might help.  If your phone is capable of showing different format, you can select the desire format.

...."As best I can tell, all CallerID formatting is done by your phone.

Scroll to a CallerID on your phone that you don't like.   Then press the # key and see if you can change the format to one you lke better.".........
