multiple gv numbers

Hi, I attempted to add a 2nd extension to my Soho account for a 2nd GV number. I was able to successfully setup the 2nd extension and using the phone associated with the 2nd numbers can make outgoing calls using SIPdroid. However, the caller ID comes up as my other GV number (the one originally used to setup the account.) Is there anyway to for my 2nd extension to show the correct GV number?

RE: multiple gv numbers

If you are using both from same handset, why not simply add an outbound route for the other GV # and use a dialing pattern (ex: 9|nxxnxxxxxx) to place calls from that #. The caller ID will show correctly.

You could also point that second gv #'s inbound routing to the first extension. That way you aren't having to maintain two connections from your handset. It probably will use less battery that way as well.
