It sounds like the list of people you're willing to receive calls from is pretty small. Have you ever actually received a phone call which spoofed the caller ID of someone you know? I haven't - all the spoofed calls I receive are from numbers I usually wouldn't answer anyways since I don't recognize them.
Also, note that Google Voice no doubt uses many termination providers (considering they're giving the service away for free, they'll need some pretty sophisticated routing to take advantage of cheap rates), so the second use case applies to any Google Voice user.
- wtallis 12y agoWhy can't we have a system whereby Google is required to prove to each of their termination providers that they legitimately own and control my GV number, and thus all of those providers can assure my outgoing GV calls have valid caller ID data? I don't see where it should matter whether calls into my number take a potentially different route from calls from my number.
