I use my google voice number extensively and have set it up to show the actual number of the caller as caller-id on my forwarded phones. What I am curious is what is gonna happen when someone calls my google voice number from his/her mobile phone?? Of course, the call is gonna go to Google server/exchange first and google is going to forward that call to my Sprint phone. So would Sprint look at the caller id of the number and automatically determine it is a mobile-to-mobile call and not deduct the minutes OR they would know it is coming from Google's servers and deduct my minutes?? Essentially what I am asking is does Sprint use caller-id number to determine if a specific incoming call is mobile-to-mobile or they have other ways to know that caller id number is a mobile number but call is coming from elsewhere??
I just have 450 minutes and if even incoming google voice calls from mobile phones are going to be treated as landline calls at Sprint, then I better start giving out my Sprint number to people instead of GV number.
