Free WiFi calling? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to do free wifi calling on a captivate? O guess it would be like free VOIP on a computer.
Thanks,
Your Noob

I don't know about your phone, but you can try it. You need to have a Google Voice account, enable Google talk on that account, and install GrooveIP. If it work you should have voip.

Why, thank-you. I will try this.
Greatfully,
Your Noob.

1) Google Voice does not have video chat at all, it does not even have direct calling.
2) Google Talk is the one that WILL HAVE video chat soon on the Nexus S first THEN it will be rolled out to 2.3 "Gingerbread" devices.

I was about to install it, but the app seems to have horrible reviews.
Been using Google Voice for awhile with no problems. Haven't been able to send or receive pictures though.

Gv is great ...it is only SMS not mms. But when set up proper...media will Goto ur gmail accnt. Its a great alt if u don't have messaging but data on ur plan. Might also look at handcent messenger....uses its own servers...so should only be data. U can pay for more features if needed. Other then that basic is free

Google voice isn't too bad so far. Long as I don't get charged for anything, I'll stick with this. Thanks for the suggestion.

VoIP SMS/call app???

Looking for a VoIP SMS/CALL app for android that when sending a SMS will hide the phone number but display only a predefined ID name to the recipient! Is there a app like that? Thanx

I don't know if it has all the specifics you require but I've been using GrooveIP for a long time and like it. It will use WiFi or your cellular data connection. Have a look at it in the Play Store.
Edit: I forgot to mention this app uses your Google voice number.
I'm in UK, so no Google voice Unfortunately

Htc Power To Give.

So I was browsing on Facebook and I like the htc fan pages I see this app htc makes called htc power to give and decided to check it out.
Basically the app takes your phone and uses it to download bits of information compute it and the sends it back. It acts like a super computer and I thought it was a great way for us htc owners to give back and make a change in the world or contribute to it while we charge our phones and don't use then when we sleep.
Here is the short YouTube video that explains the concept behind the app. It's about a minute and a half long.

And here is the app on Google play if you feel like joining the cause.

Just thought I would bring this to attention to those who want to help and make a difference with their htc device.
For those who can't download it on their device I have gone ahead and uploaded it to Dropbox.

I don't think so unless you modify it, but that is way above me. Maybe ask one of the devs around here.

Check all the reviews. Tons of complaints about not being able to use mobile data. I tried to change the WiFi setting. No go.
