Can you set Outgoing Caller ID with PowerPhone ?

For GV forwarding to PP#, which VM is going to pick up if no one answers? And how many rings before reaching VM?
GV VM is picking up too quickly (25 sec, but usually 3-4 rings for me now) and I am concerned that forwarding to PP# will further reduce the number of rings.
Any experience out there?

My experience is that GV voicemail kicks in at 25 seconds (4 rings on OBi phone-calling party hears 5 rings). Nothing can be done about that if you are forwarding from GV. The only time PhonePower ever picks up is if someone calls my PP number directly........which never happens.

When GV forwards to PP, does it take a while to ring my phone? If so, it will be less than 25s..

It takes approximately 3 seconds for my Obi connected phone to ring after placing the call from a cell phone.

Not sure what the problem here is. I signed up with PP through Obi's interface and one of the questions was if I wanted to spoof my GV number. I said yes. I also tested this and it works...
Yes that does work. My problem was I wanted to have my outgoing caller id number be something other than my Google Voice number. The company I work for has a call forwarding service of their own that forwards calls to my office number to wherever I happen to be. I am using the Obi as the target for that service. If I make an outgoing call I want my office phone number to appear, not my Google Voice number.
I was a bit confused about this during PhonePower setup and when I was prompted for the number to use and saw the on screen remark saying that it should be my Google Voice number, I mistakenly put that there. Of coruse when I tried to get that fixed after the fact, tech support told me that it could ONLY be a Google Voice number.
I'm not sure I couldn't have just put in the number I wanted regardless of it not being a Google Voice number but I decided to keep things on the up and up and took them at their word. In the end I decided to just cancel the service and signup with Anveo (who does allow spoofing the number after a verification process). That worked fine.
