Google Voice just got a lot better by adding additional Skype support. You can make calls using Skype and have the recipient see your Google Voice number on their Caller ID.
I've been using the combination of Google Voice and Skype as my office phone for well more than a year. It works great. But there was one piece missing -- when I made an outbound call using Skype, recipients saw my Skype phone number on their caller ID.
I don't want that. I don't want people calling my Skype number. I don't want people calling any number for me other than my Google Voice number. It makes life simpler that way.
The solution I've found until now was to go to Google Voice on the Web, and dial the call from there. But that was inconvenient, it added a few extra clicks.
