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.

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.

Wow, you are fantastic! I just got back from Asia and it drove me nuts not being able to use google voice there, and I'd looked and not found this, so now that I just downloaded (tried it over wifi only), it's fantastico!

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.

Mms is sent through data, always has been. You've probably never noticed when you've sent before a 3g or 4g signal pops up next to your wifi icon to allow sending and then disappears when done sending.

I have my old TBolt that is not activated (replaced with my Rezound). With a couple of market apps I can send email, text, and make calls all over wi-fi with the TBolt.
no, dear sirs, i must correct my statement, for you see i posted in a fit of rage.
lol but really, 3g always turns on when wifi is on to send an MMS. today, it woudln't, even though mobile network was on....then 3 minutes later, it just turned on and started to send lol but i HAD 3g the whole time in my house. i turned off wifi for 1 pic, and it sent...so it was a problem with the phone turning the 3g radio on to send.

Does any of this mean the messages are not counting towards your texting totals? I don't see why they charge extra for texting, especially the amount that they charge. Does it put a big strain on the network or is a completely different thing or is it just because they can?

Yeah, I've got two tabs open in Firefox now reading about google voice. I'm worried about the whole phone number thing. I don't want to possibly lose it somehow by porting it over and I also read that I may be breaking my contract with Verizon by porting it and don't want those fees for sure.
I'm new to Verizon as of 11/23 and bought my phone from Amazon. I'll have to see what they say about porting it to google voice. Still looking into it but I think I need the unlimited texting and that's $20/mo which seems excessive to me.
Would it work to test out google voice with their assigned number and forward calls there just to try it out? Would texts forward? I know I'd still get charged for the texting doing it that way. Where do you see/get the texts? Same as usual or is there a different interface?
You will have a location like you would in Gmail, etc. where all the texts would show up. Believe me, a lot of people use this and never have any problems with vzw. Of cource you don't tell vzw you are doing this. If you root your phone you don't tell vzw you did it. My daughter took a rooted phone to a vzw store this weekend to get it activated. It had a sense 3.5 rom on it and they didn't say a thing to her. VZW employees root their phones.
But if you are worried, don't do it.

When you sign up for Google Voice they'll assign you a different phone number. This is your Google Voice number, and is only used for Google Voice calls and texts (more on that in a bit.) You can port your existing number, but I believe you'll need to pay the ETF as you're basically cancelling service on that line through Verizon. Probably not a good idea. If you don't port, you must associate the GV number with an existing phone number (probably your current mobile number.)
You can set this new Google Voice number up to transfer all incoming calls to the phone number you registered with GV. You can add other phone lines to the account, as well, and set up rules as to who gets forwarded to which number (also by time, I believe, but never tried that.) You can set up your voicemail on your phone to use GV as the voicemail provider. This means when your phone rings for an incoming call, instead of going to Verizon's voicemail, it transfers it to your GV number's voicemail, which you can read either through an app on your phone, or by using your phone's voicemail dial, if you set it up in Phone options.
You can use your GV number for SMS (not MMS, yet!) You can either have SMS to your existing number forwarded to your GV number, or the other way around, if you prefer. You can even have SMS to your GV number sent to an email address. You read/send SMS via the Google Voice app which is available on the Market. Yes, it is a different app and not the standard Messages app. You also get your voicemails through that app.
Now, here's the interesting thing, if you want to completely mask your "real" phone number on your phone, you can have Google Voice set up all your outgoing calls to go through your Google Voice number. They will still use Verizon's minutes, as I'm pretty sure all they are doing is having Verizon transfer the call directly into Google's telecom network which then "places" the call to whatever number you're calling. So by forwarding incoming calls people make to your GV number to your phone, and by making all your outgoing calls originate from your GV number, essentially you are hiding your mobile number, and providing yourself an extra layer of protection.
I don't think you can get full protection if you are using SMS, because while SMS to your GV number can forward to your phone, you can't "bounce" SMS from your phone through your GV number. If you reply to one of those, I believe it will go directly to the original sender. However, I haven't tested this, so I'm interested if anyone can confirm this or not.
And I say "protection" because Google Voice allows you to completely blacklist certain numbers. They will never be able to contact you via phone or text, if they don't know your real phone number. Useful if you have ex's that won't go away, or if you're just paranoid, like me.

On some networks, GV outgoing calls (using your GV number as your caller ID number) are counted as call forwarding minutes. They were on T-Mobile. I can't say for sure that they are on VZW because I don't use my VZW account enough (I just pay the bill )

So yeah, I'm worried about ETF and not having to change my number with all my friends etc...
I'm kind of interested in the voicemail aspects but mostly I'm hoping to save the $20/mo. for texting. It really irks me that any carrier charges for text messages. So if I keep my number with Verizon I would still incur message charges through them, right?
Too bad I didn't know about this before, I could have ported my real number to google voice before I switched to Verizon from AT&T. Seems weird that they tie it to the number and not that I'm still keeping the line active. I'm going to confirm that with them.
google voice callback- not the most convenient method, but free calls. I use it when I get too close to overage.

How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice?
I went to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones and deactivated my Gvoice account. But then what should I do next?
I believe my voice-mail is still forwarded to GVoice somehow. I tried and left a voice-mail on mail phone, the notification bar indicated that I had 1 voice-mail, but I cannot listen to it. When I dialed 1 on the phone, it went to 804-214-6647, and said that I had no voice-mail.
I believe you have to go to Settings > Call > Voicemail service and select My Carrier.
under GVoice settings for deactivating Voicemail it says:
1) Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
##004#
2) Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
I did all that before I posted here. My problem is that my phone keeps dialing the Google Voice number instead of my ATT voicemail number. Can anyone provide me the ATT voicemail number please?
You should be able to access att voicemail if you call yourself. Make sure the call forward settings are not still set on the gvoice settings.
I think the VM dial in and forward numbers are regional. If you call att they should be able to provide the number. When my wife went from the captivate to an iPhone all the forward settings are not there on the iPhone. Att was able to reset all the settings from the network side.

The call in number is your cell number.
I had to call a CSR and have them reset it for me. A little bit of a pain but it is what it is.
Hope its OK I add a somewhat related question. In my dumb attempt to get visual VM back (from SR), I installed At&t Messages. Yeah no bueno. I've removed the app but my VM is still the hybrid setup with their crappy service. Will I need to call in and have them undo this mess?

No its not. The ATT voicemail number is a different number. Your own number gets you into your voice mail box, but that is not giving you access to your voice mail features. Been there just this week! Since this number is not always the same between locations, I suggest you call ATT, tell them that google voice mail hijacked you, and they will give you your specific voice mail number. If that does not help, send me a message.
FIXED. I called ATT and asked the voicemail number that was programmed on my device and it worked. Calling myself also worked though.

Voicemails sound metallic with google voice, and the transcription is almost never correct.
I noticed when someone is leaving me a voicemail this what happens: phone starts ringing about 4 to 5 times then stops while the caller is still hearing that the phone is ringing for another 5 - 6 times then Google voice kicks in. TOO LONG for the caller to leave a message. Any way to shorter the amount of the phone rings before Google answering machine picks up ?
If only google voice allowed mms
And not sure if you guys have noticed that they say calls wont be free next year? Not sure what that means.

There is a code you can dial on your phone to change the duration when your voicemail will pick up. It's an AT&T setting, not configuration through any other way.
This is how you adjust when a call goes to vmail
On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
Write down the number (including +1)
Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.

I find the VM quality as good as the carriers. The transcriptions are not always perfect, but they are alsays close enough to allow me to quietly read all my VMs (during a boring meeting) to determine if i can delete them or save them to take action on. I find it to be an amazing service; of which the Voicemail is just one part. If you have multiple phone's its invaluable.

GV app on your phone doesn't use VoIP at all. What it does is auto-forward your outgoing GV calls to a local phone number nearby. It does this to avoid anger carriers. If GV does VoIP calls, all carrier will bar the app being avaialabe to their phones.
So, yes, you still use you minutes.
