Can you change the number seen by caller ID with MJ?

Post by BENNY1604 »

I want to use my MJ for outgoing calls from my business, but dont want clients seeing the MJ number and calling that back direct. I only want clients to see our main land line number, so they recognize it is me calling them and they never call my MJ directly, but end up in our normal phone system for incoming calls. Is there any way to change the caller ID number clients will see? Thanks for your input.

Short answer, no you can not.
However if you get a free Google Voice account and play with some settings you can have GV call your MJ ( in other words give out your GV # to clients) and then when you have to call them you can call via GV and they will see that number not your MJ number.
Just as an FYI, MJ and business is not a good match as if you go over their "magic" number for the amout of calls allowed in a month they will terminate your account ( for out going calls).
