This might be a dumb question but, is there a way I can separate my incoming Verizon calls from my google voice incoming calls on my Note 10? I have a google voice # connected to my personal VZ #. The google voice # is for side work calls. However, when a call comes in I can not tell if it's a call to my personal # or if it's a call to my google #. If I don't know the caller I let it go to VM & see if they leave a message. This is very annoying. You would think there would be a caller ID prompt to say if a call is from google voice. I have a Note 10. Is there a way to do this? Would it be phone-dependent or a function of google voice.
Thanks!

Ah google voice, Android phones, and Verizon. So I had a N10+ and 2 Google voice accounts which pointed there numbers to my Verizon cellular device's number.
Reads like your issue is caller ID function has been turned ON in your GV settings, which is normal for most people. Though like me, you want to know WHERE the call comes from since you know the GV number is dedicated to your side business ventures.
My still working solution is:
1. turn OFF caller ID settings in GV
2. Add the GV number to your phones contacts (call it Google Voice) so when a call is routed to your cellular number it will show as "google voice" calling and you'll know instantly its related to your side biz....
3. Obviously it's not optimum (no caller id) though at least you'll know where the call emanates.
Hope it works for you. Good Luck
