GV's transcription engine isn't very good at phrases. Instead it's trying to do specific words. That's why PhoneTag (now owned by Ditech Networks) and SpinVox (now owned by Nuance) are better. Most IP phone systems can cover your routing issue though. Avaya and Cisco can for sure. I have an Avaya iPhone app (one-X Mobile) that when I call a contact, it sends a data signal to the server, which calls me, then calls the person I want to speak with. All they see is my work number for caller ID and I use the calling rates from the IP phone system, not AT&T, which is nice for international calls. I never have to give out my work number. All calls to my work number are routed to my cell simultaneously and I can set schedules and VIP lists when I don't want it to ring my cell. If you use the Avaya voicemail system, it can also email me the transcription (I believe they are using SpinVox for this). Of course, this can be a lot of equipment to buy for a small office.

Dave – thanks for the long comment. I’m optimistic about both (a) inbound porting and (b) better transcription so my guess is I’ll take another shot at this in six months. Or – maybe sooner if I decide I like the Nexus One better than the iPhone.

I don’t have their standard greeting – I have a custom greeting and the person doesn’t know it’s being emailed to me. I like it better this way for some reason (I’m not entirely sure why.)

Understood – not a gating issue – but as you say not worth messing with until the transcription gets better.

RE the callerid issue – you can choose to have your GV number displayed (helpful if, for instance, more than one person is forwarding a GV number to your landline) or display the number of the originating caller. Not worth changing, I realize, until the transcription improves further, but worth pointing out that this alone needn't be an issue.
