Google Voice Asks to State Name?

[gotta_get_back_to_selling]

When I call the google voice number that I plan on associating with my soon to be created EB stealth account, I get a prompt to state my name while google voice attempts to connect me. Isn't this a huge red flag if EB or PP try to call me?

Is this something new?

So this is not voicemail setup? When u make every call it will ask you to say your name? That is new

Just use your stealth name

This is a huge red flag. Login to google voice go to settings then calls and turn call screening off!

Either leave your stealth name in recording or disable the voicemail function

Why risk entering your stealth name if you have more than one GV account?

Thanks everybody - I needed to go into GV settings and allow calls to go through directly.

It's not even voicemail. Its called call screening. First thing you hear instead of ringing. " Please state your name so we can tell the google voice subscriber" Dead give away. It's easy and a must to turn off.
