Tutorial - Using Evo View 4g ( HTC Flyer? ) as a Phone - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I bought a View tablet a week ago!
and i been using it, as a phone since then ,with a $35 sprint data plan , and WIFi at home or wherever wifi is available.
Working: outgoing calls , incoming calls and text messages!
---how to make it work?
this tutorial is to make the Evo View ( maybe HTC Flyer too ) Working as a Cellphone
1. - A Google phone number ( very Important ) this will be your phone number.
2. - Gingerbread rom, maybe HC, I tested with HC and CM10, but the quality of voice works best in GB (viperboy Redline v1 rom works great)

Download link, View users only.: http://d-h.st/5087dkknj38h/viperROM_Redline_v1_View.zip
(Flyer users can try this with any Flyer GB or HC Rom. )
3.- Google Voice App,Download it from play store, ( for text messaging)
sign in to google voice follow the steps of the application, it will not ask you for a verification number, since this is a tablet
now! you good to go, you can send and receive text messages via google voice app. With Your Google voice number .
-you can't send pictures with google voice, only texts-
4.- Spare Phone, ( paid app, $2.99 ) download it from play store ( for incoming and outgoing calls) supports 3g/4g and Wifi connections for make phone calls
- sign in with your gmail and password, and you will see all your gmail contacts,
setup the aplication the way you want for make and receive calls.

Dont use Grooveip , Spare Phone app, works a lot better. and you will be available to see call log, gmail contacts and phone keypad
5.- bluetooth headset?
-Now you are ready to make and receive text messages and phone calls.
if you have 3g/4g connection , you can get calls and text messages wherever you are.
Everything with your Google Phone Number.

well, this is not actually what people would expect
because google voice is a VOIP service, it makes calls over the internet instead of using the actual phone function of the View.
but, this could be one alternative way to makes calls using your View
*** currently, google voice only available in the US.
so, for ppl outside the US (like me) wont be able to use this service

Click to expand...

I'll make an update later, about how to get an USA phone number without forwarding phone number from sprint.
And how to make it work outside of USA.
but yeah calls and texts will only work with usa phones numbers and Canada I think Puerto Rico too.
but you will be available to call to usa or they can call you wherever country you are. With Your Google phone number.
