The subject line is a little vague. Essentially, I am considering porting my cell number from at&t to Voip.ms, and using it as a DID whereby calls inbound to this number are directed to certain subaccounts on my voip.ms account. i.e. the subaccounts (or extensions, if you will) for my personal IP phone, soft phones, and of course, the IP phone client that'll have to run on my mobile phone.
Kind of like making my own google voice, without using google voice. The only thing I haven't solved yet is placing outbound calls. To even use data for anything, be it browsing the web or receiving calls over an app, I'd have to have service on the phone. Which means giving it a new number. For those who have done this, have you found it possible at all to get your wireless carrier to change the outbound caller ID number? I.e. being able to use the native app on a phone for it's intended purpose, but the caller ID show up as my actual number, not the number given to the SIM card in the phone.
Or would I be stuck only being able to place calls via the SIP app of my choosing?
Am I crazy, is this a bad idea w/ trouble written all over it? Or something that's fairly common?
