How do I make a Google Voice call from my cell phone and keep my cell phone number private?

Q. I have a Google Voice phone number and account. I only give out the Google Voice phone number. But if I return a call with my cell phone while I'm not at my computer, how do I keep the actual cell phone number private and only display the Google Voice phone number on the other person's phone?

A. You need to dial using Google Voice app. Only then will your Google Voice number shows instead of your cell number.

Why does Google Voice sometimes give a busy signal after ringing?
Q. I sometimes use Google Voice to call someone internationally, and sometimes it will ring and then give a busy signal. If I call back right away without Google Voice, it will ring and the person will pick up. Ringing followed by a busy signal seems odd and seems like it might be a Google Voice issue. Has anyone experienced this, and is it a real Google Voice issue?

A. Google Voice still has some minor issues like that, but those issues should go away over time.
