Hello all. I'm trying to receive calls using my Tab and GrooveIP. I am currently using same Sprint number as my GV number. Is this why I cannot receive calls on Tab? I can make calls just fine.
Thanks.
That shouldn't be a problem, since the Sprint number just replaces your GV number. I'd check all of your forwarding settings in GV to make sure that the Google Chat is set as one of your forwarding phones (make sure that the checkbox is checked next to it in your Voice Settings > Phones tab, and that you don't have any time restrictions for the forwarding by clicking Edit). Similarly, check to make sure that you don't have any special rules on the specific contact or contact group that you are trying to initiate the call from.
I haven't messed with GrooveIP on the tab, but that'd be a good place to start if you haven't verified that already.

Yea, I have forward to Google chat and sprint mobile phone both checked, but still not receiving calls on tab. I even tried unchecking sprint phone and only having Google chat selected, still no dice.
Make sure you are not logged into google chat anywhere else.

Just to clarify -- you need to be signed out of Talk on the Galaxy Tab for calls to forward to Groove.

Thank you, worked like a charm!
Ironically, the new GrooveIP update that was released yesterday allows being logged into Google Voice and still accept calls.
This info worked wonders for me. Tested it out today and works perfectly.

OK, I know I'll probably get slammed, but I searched and searched and can't find the answer...
I'm coming from the Nexus One on ATT where google voice worked flawlessly. Now, on Verizon with the Thunderbolt, it's a nightmare. Incoming calls don't get my Gvoice message, just a notice saying to enter a PIN. Also, Gvoice isn't showing the correct outgoing caller ID... even though everything "appears" to be setup properly in Gvoice settings and on the Thunderbolt.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!! Any ideas?
The information on the Google Voice Settings page didn't work for me. Telling you to dial some crazy * #### blah blah blah.
So I did some calling to Verizon and dug deeper. In order to get GV on your VZW, you need to do these steps:
*71[Google Voice Number]
*90[GVnumber]
*92[GVnumber]
Then GV should work.
I was in the same boat as you. Upgraded from TMO Nexus to this and was going crazy trying to figure out why GV wouldn't work.
Hope it helped?
Why don't u just fork out the money for Verizon's awesome visual voicemail! What a joke. Don't think Verizon likes gv.

I just installed the app, dialed *xxxxxxxxxx (whatever number i was told to dial by the app or site) and it seems to be working fine. I've never used it before though, so I'll update this if something goes wrong.

I just followed the directions on google.com/voice and mine worked fine. My voicemail gets picked up by GV.
i had previously set up gvoice with sprint so what I had to do in gvoice was delete my cell number and re-set it up so it would register with Verizon. Works fine after that.

Thanks for the post, let me try it out. Also, after digging more at Google.com, I found these bonus codes depending on what network we're on...
Verizon (CDMA network): *71[GVnumber] AND *90[GVnumber] AND *92[GVnumber]
Verizon (TDMA Network): *74[GVnumber] and *73[GVnumber]
What net are we on with LTE?
Worked! THANKS!
Worked fine for me with just the *71-XXX-XXX-XXXX code BOTH times I had to set it up (thursday new phone, last night after rooting). I just called myself from my Skype out # and it rolled to GV voicemail.
All U.S. Verizon Customers are on the CDMA network.

That code only sets up forwarding for one group of calls. Unfortunately, you need to setup GVoice on the Thunderbolt to properly forward BOTH unanswered (missed) calls, and ignored (intentionally declined) calls. The two different actions are handled differently by Verizon - hence the multiple dial-in codes. Although I don't know what the third code is for.

I'm not going to get into a huge back and forth over it, but I just tested my Thunderbolt phone both ways...I called it and let it go unanswered, and then I called it and hit the decline button on the screen. Both times it rolled to my Google Voice voicemail. I only set it up with the *71 code.
I'm not disputing that your experience may be different, but that's how it worked for me.
Whenever I try to add my new Verizon phone number, it shows up as a Gizmo account no matter what I select (Mobile, Home, or Work).
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
works the same as it did for me from my og droid. i wish there would be an icon telling me what number the people are calling me on. i have a bunch of people call the wrong number and i never know what line its on.
I had Google voicemail set up on T-Mobile with my N1, MyTouch 4G and it worked perfect. Tried to set it up on my Thunderbolt with Verizon and I went thru the set up procedure, dialed the *71 and my google # then *90 and finaly *92. When I was done I tried to call myself and see if it works, I get a message asking me to put the # I am trying to call and hit the pound button. Please help, Love Google Voice and I tried Verizon tech help and absolutely useless, tried to sell me theirs.
Please anyone, I want that Google voicemail app working.

I had a friend of mind call in and he got the same message. I have seen other posts of people with the same issue. I can not find out how they resolved their issue. Someone must have the answer, Verizon tech help didn't have a clue unless I was buying their V Voice Mail.
I also came over from t-mobile. All I did was set my phone's voicemail setting to my Google number, then did *71(my Google number) and my voicemail works fine.

Is it possible to change the phone number in Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Status on the i777?
I want to change it to my Google Voice number so that will show up as my caller ID on outgoing calls. I've read various threads about doing it on the iPhone and on certain other Android phones (apparently some have a Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number, but the i777 does not).
Any ideas? I guess I could always borrow someone's phone that has this capability, but would be nice if I could do it from the i777...
Thanks!
You can't change that since that's the number on your SIM card. Just go to the Google Voice program and set it to be used for ALL outgoing calls. Still will show your number in the status, but any calls you make will come from your Google Voice number and then show up on the Caller ID as said number.
Possibly on CM7
If you are rooted and running custom ROMs, you may be able to do this on CM7. I have not run CM7 on my SGS2 yet, but what you are asking for is possible on my HTC Aria on CM7 nightlies. However, as the previous poster noted, if you are using GV for outgoing calls, depending on your GV setup the called party will see your GV number on their caller ID.
naturefreak85 is right. Intall Google Voice app and in GV settings, you get to set which phone number to report as your caller ID.

Just tried this out. When I make the outgoing call, Google Voice pops up for a second, then it switches to the normal call status screen and for about 2 seconds a box pops up saying "making call with google voice."
So it is working. But my question is this: Is it making these calls over my data network as google voice typically does, thereby using up my data, OR is it making the call over the voice network, thereby using my MINUTES?
Thanks.
Google Voice on phones are never called via data connection. It is forwarded to a local phone number to call out. Ppl are hacking it (via some 3rd party app) in order to make Voice calls over IP network (e.g. wifi).

I'd be interested in how to accomplish this ... would come in handy when out of the country on a data-only SIM.
I believe the app is called Groove IP. It uses GV's web service to make and receive calls. No Google Voice app needed. You need to properly configure the your Google Voice web page in order for it to work. Ppl are actually using it on wi-fi only Galaxy tab for phone calls.

Yep. I have it, and it does work. I have not configured it for inbound calls, but it doesn't require configuration for outbound. Voice quality is not great but is usable.

Yes, I don't recall off the top of my head if it is on the website of the app, or in the market description, or in the app itself. It involves directing the call through gTalk on the web iirc. Sorry don't have quick access to dig up a link for you at the moment.

Got ya
For other phones, I was able to use Google Voice by following the instruction at GV settings:
**004*1xxxxxxxxxx#
But it seems voice mail still goes to AT&T default voice mail.
I also tried *#61#, and it says calls will be forwarded to my GV number. Still same result
In the phone settings, I changed Voicemail setting to GV number, still same results
I'm wondering if this could be an issue with Huawei software. Do you have same issue?

It seems the settings are correct:

But when call from another phone, the AT&T voicemail will still kick in. Not sure if this is an AT&T issue.

I think it forwards it at a phone level. So must be something with the settings. Perhaps time to backup and reformat?

Anyone successful at activating Google Voice to manage your voicemails on the S8+? I'm coming from a Nexus device where it worked flawelessly. I guess Sprint has disabled the ability to use GV because they want you to use their voicemail app.
I have tried the steps on this page but voicemails still go to the stock app.

Might be able to get it working once we have root and can freeze the voicemail app. I wasn't able to answer phone calls with call forwarding to gv tho, so that will might be an issue.

I used this, and Google Voice is working for me. *73 is the key. *28 no longer works for it like GV mistakenly still states in the setup.
I came from Verizon Note 5 and switched to the Sprint S8+, and could not figure it out until I found the above.
Do you have the google voice app installed? I've tried this every which way I can find and it still reverts to Sprint voicemail.

Had to call Sprint and have them remove WiFi calling from my account in order to get GV integration working (where when I make an outgoing call from my phone, my GV voice number is shown instead of my cell number). Now, trying to make a WiFi call, I get this message:
https://goo.gl/photos/ZUHzjq6uWbSrQy4k6
I'm afraid to move forward from this screen because GV integration is important for me... but so is WiFi calling. I was able to do both on my Note 4, which is what I was using before getting the S8+. Wonder why it can't do both now?
I can't see the pic. What does the message say?
I am only using GV for voicemail. I'm not planning on going fully integrated so I have no input on that.
I had to disable Wi-Fi calling to finally get GV voicemail to work.
I believe Sprint do not support both service, GV and Wifi-Calling, you either use one or the other, the only phone so far that i know for sprint able to use both was the Galaxy Note 4 because the Dual antenna for voLTE. "Please dont quote me on this"
Google voice works on s8+
it worked for me only after I called sprint. they did something on their end. that's all I know. sorry not more informative
