Google Voice hijacks Hangouts Outgoing Caller ID

Hi all, prior to getting a Google Voice number my Hangouts app showed my cellular number as the outgoing caller ID. now that I've got a Google Voice number it instead shows the GV number as the outgoing caller ID.
Is there a way to change that so that I continue to keep the GV number but have the cellular number used as the outgoing caller ID?

Easy way.. Setup another Google account on your phone, and use that as you hangouts dialer account & verify your cell #.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I was hoping I didn't have to create another google account.
