Can you set Outgoing Caller ID with PowerPhone ?

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.
Yes, you REALLY need to get it right the first time when signing up for PhonePower. I don't understand why PP is so rigid regarding outgoing CID but they certainly are. There should be some kind of red flashing warning when signing up telling you to get the outgoing number correct RIGHT NOW or you'll be sorrrrrrrrryyyyyyy.

We know it say enter your GV#, but I'm pretty sure
ANY number that is entered there is not checked.
...so as you were saying earlier...
you wanted your calls to look like they were coming
from your office. On setup you would enter your
office phone where it says enter your GV#...
and then you would use Click2Call or Remote Click2Call.
That WOULD have done the trick for you, but PP is too
busy arguing semantics, and their support is uneducated.
Somebody on this forum stated that PP's lack of spoofing
is going to be a real 'deal killer' and I've seen PP lose many
customers over this one point.
It would seem that PP should be on the forum somewhere,
but for one reason or another they don't seem to be here.

I too signed up for Phonepower through the OBIHAI interface and when I got to the spoofing CID input it said the Google Voice phone number should be used. However, I used a number I have had since 1983 and currently with VOIPo. There was no verification that I actually controlled that number. If I do however call that number using the Phonepower line, I always get a busy. I guess it would look strange getting an incoming CID matching the outgoing phone number of the line. :)

Yes I should have just put my office phone there. Oh well. I cancelled PP and went to Anveo, which so far is working okay, but it is a bit rougher around the edges than PP was. A shame they are so inflexible. I would have stayed.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
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 problem is that PP voicemail picks up and I would rather have GV voicemail. I have found no way to disable PP VM or change the number of rings. When I talked with tech support at PP, they said that my phone number was assigned to two people and that I needed to talk with billing. What? This make no sense to me...
