Can you set Outgoing Caller ID with PowerPhone ?

Ok, I found the PP voicemail settings I was looking for; they are under Call Forwarding.

Now I just need to find out how to get the GV voicemail studer tone to activate with GV voicemail.

Not sure that is possible although hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
I was under the impression you would only get the stutter tone notification from your carrier signalling your Obi (Google Voice is no longer your carrier) and only if using your carrier's voicemail (you're using Google Voice voicemail). If you think about it......how exactly could it work? When during the calling/receiving process would PhonePower ever get notified about Google Voice having voicemail. For outgoing calls GV isn't involved at all. For incoming calls, GV just hands off the call to PhonePower. Thinking it through I just don't see how it's possible. The link between Google Voice and your Obi was disconnected when Google Chat was no longer being used.
I usually have a cell phone close to me. I have GV configured to send me a text and email when I have a GV voicemail. For me it is much more reliable than a stutter tone or message waiting indicator.

I agree with Taoman that having GV sent me an email to notify for voicemails is effective. However, this is a line I share with my wife. It would be very helpful if she could access a GV voicemail from the phone connected to the Obi device. That way if I'm unable to get to the voice mail for any reason, she could.
I may bring that up with Phone Power to see if there's a solution, but I suspect it may have to resolved through Obi. Phone Power's tech support has been surprisingly helpful in resolving several other questions I've raised. Real people talk to you and even call you back!

To let your GV answer simply add 10 seconds to the forwarding action under the call forwarding area in power phone.
