Google Voice works by acting as a proxy for outbound calls. You dial your friend's number, your phone dials Google, who in turn dials your friend with your Google Voice number displayed. Since Google is the legitimate carrier for your Google Voice number, I can think of no reason why they wouldn't be able to correctly sign the call.
Additionally, Google is listed as one of the companies that the 14 companies that the FCC appears to be working with (see the table towards the bottom of https://www.fcc.gov/call-authentication https://www.fcc.gov/call-authentication), so I assume they are planning to use it for Fi and hopefully Voice as well.
- pandaman 7y agoGoogle voice also acts as a proxy for inbound calls. Your friend dials your GV number, GV dials your other phone number, which does not belong to Google and uses your friend's number (which may or may not belong to Google) as the caller ID. From the point of view of your telco, who services your phone number, Google is spoofing your friend's number unless your friend happened to call using another GV number.
