Help Is this call to my carrier number or my Google Voice number?

Is there any android app that will tell me which of the above numbers is being called at the time of the call? I haven't given out my carrier number & don't want to answer any calls to that number.
 
The actual numbers don't matter. I'd like to be able to tell if someone has called my carrier number or my Google Voice number. I don't want to answer any calls placed to my carrier number.
 
I know nothing about Google Voice as we don't have it in the UK so I'm going to bow out and hope someone will be along to help.
 
AFAIK there's no app for this. I've used Google Voice for years and long wanted to know which number was used to reach me.

The closest thing I know of is to go to GV Settings > Calls > Caller ID (incoming) > Display my Google Voice number.

That will do it, but of course disables caller ID for the caller. You know they called your GV number, but you don't know who 'they' are. Not a trade off I'm willing to make. I'd rather know who's calling. Ya just can't have it both ways.
 
The only way I know to do that would be to make a Google Voice contact and set it up (GV, online) to 'display my Google Voice number' for incoming calls in call settings. Now, the problem with that is you'll never know who is calling but you will know it's your GV number.

I don't use GV through Hangouts so don't have the GV dialer loaded. It may work differently there but I somehow don't think so.
