Need 2nd phone number to forward to original!

[cypress]

Heres the way I have my GV set up to forward to my mobile phone. First, I save the GV as a contact in my cell phone with the name of my business.

Now under settings:

UNDER PHONES
Forwards calls to:

Mobile

Receive text messages on this phone
Notify me of new voicemails via text
​

UNDER VOICEMAIL & TEXT
Voicemail Notifications - Alert me when I have new voicemails

Email the message to (email setup to my phone)
Forward text messages to my email: (email setup to my phone)​

Voicemail Transcripts: Transcribe voicemails

UNDER CALLS
Call Screening: ON

Ask unknown callers to say their name​

Caller ID (incoming)

Display my Google Voice number - if you uncheck this, it will disply customers number​

Missed Calls

Place missed calls in the inbox
Send missed calls to my email: (email setup to my phone)​

What happens is that when a customer calls my business mobile number, it rings my cell phone and displays my business (Your PCMD) as the caller ID. While I dont have the callers ID at the time of the call, it is sent to my email that I get on my cell phone and of course you can always log into your GV and see who called. Also I have an app (Android) that I use for mobile calls because I dont always have a pen and paper to write info down so I get customer to tell me their name, address, phone, issues, etc. and its recorded using Automatic Call Recorder.

With my settings, they don't get the Google answer announcement but my own recorded one.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for that! I actually tweaked a couple settings now.

Thank you for that! I actually tweaked a couple settings now.

Glad it worked out for you. Hope others can find benefit in it as well.

I use Vonage. I have a local phone number and use their extensions feature and app on my phone to have a 2nd line on my iPhone. I can also have a phone in my office. I like their voice mail feature too. I can have a voice mail schedule where during business hours one outgoing voice mail message will play and after business hours a different outgoing message will play for callers.

Just putting it out there, but T-Mobile does have a service (DIGITS) for multiple lines to one phone.

I use Call Centric, just has a toll free on it, doesn't cost me much and when I want a special number for something I can just get it, in any market, at a click and feed it into the autoattendant that's also Call Centric.
