You need a real number to verify it.

Go into your Google voice account on a computer and make sure you have call forwarding enable. You can use your home number for this but unchecked that box if you don't want it ringing your home phone as well. Check the Google chat instead.

Replacement for GrooveIP for Hangouts Dialer (GB)
Since may 2014 Google has removed support for 3rd party dialers for Google Voice. This includes GrooveIP. Hangouts Dialer is only for 4.x and up Androids. ObiOn is the only 3rd-party app now supported by Google Voice/Hangouts for Gingerbread.
I had been using GrooveIP to use my Player 5.0 (US) as a WiFi phone but since it stopped working with Google Voice I needed a replacement. I have been using OBiOn as a landline IP phone for about 3 years and am now using the OBiOn app on my Player 5.0 (US). You need to have a physical OBiOn device to act as a Voice Gateway to do this. I have the cheapest (OBi100) hooked to my router with my physical phone hooked to the OBi100. Instructions to set it up with Google Voice are online at the OBiOn website. I read that 911 calls are possible but haven't investigated that yet. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, you have to go into Google Voice settings & check the box to forward calls to google chat.
See if that works.
Yeah, using Google Voice for a phone number and then using Google Hangouts with the Hangouts Dialer will be the way to go now. As long as you have wi-fi you can text, and make calls. I been doing that for a while now on my Galaxy Player 4.0 since Google eventually merged Voice and Hangouts and took out the old voip for Voice.

i noticed on Google's website, it shows a google voice call being made over the normal dialpad w/ some Voice splash on the screen.
I am using CM7 and there is no splash visible and no indication if voice is even working. Does anyone else here use it and on a Sense or AOSP ROM?
Works fine on sense. You press one to answer calls made to you on your google voice number and i have it set up to ask me if i want to use google voice when i make my calls or not

It doesn't matter what you use, sense or aosp, google voice works. You can make voice calls through google voice from your desktop (the screenshot I think you're referring to). On the phone, the google voice application allows you set it to make all calls using google voice.
Here's the caveat. Calls through google voice from your cellphone use the actual cell connection. It first dials the gvoice call center, and then routes to the number you dialed. If the gvoice call center's phone # is in your 'calling circle' or whatever, it's all free minutes.
It sounds more like you want to do VoiP...replacing skype, or fring. Make voice calls over your data connection, am I right? If that's the case, grooveIP has REALLY impressed me. It connects to your google voice account, and makes calls using the same voip interface as the desktop screenshot thingy (calls from the desktop browser).
That, or a complicated set up involving SIPdroid, sipsorcery, gvoice, and a 3rd party SIP service (there's a few free ones).
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!
Thanks so much! GREAT recommendation...

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.
This is ridiculous, why won't Android phones work with Google Voice when my data connection is not switched on?
I am not trying to call using VOIP, I am trying to call out using my cellular minutes such that the person I am calling will see my Google Voice number on his Caller ID. Is there anyway to do this without having an internet connection?
If there is no way to do this, what apps are there to set this up "manually"? On my old Windows Mobile phone, whenever I call out, I have a software that automatically dials my GV number, enters PIN and dials the number that I dial using the GV interface via phone.
I only found a Flex Dialer app, but that does not report numbers in my call log correctly. Is there any other apps out there?

Does anyone have experience using Google Voice without a data plan? My sister just bought a phone to use with Page Plus, and is porting her number to Google Voice.
Do calls work correctly without data? I read a while back that Google implemented a feature in the Google Voice app that downloads the direct access numbers for all of your contacts when you first install the app. How does it handle new numbers that you dial?
Is there a good way to text people without saving their Google Voice "proxy" number, and still have it come from your Google Voice number, without using data?
I use Sipdroid with Google Voice on my tablet.
Inbound and outbound calls over WIFI work pretty well for me. I just dial regular phone numbers.
I've never really used texting with Google Voice.
google voice pay as you go no data plane
Does anyone have recommendation on how to set this up to play somewhat reasonable all together.
I know functionality will be limited when no Wi-Fi is available but......

I have the rezound, as well as a Kindle Fire, and I installed Google Voice on them. I read through other threads, and no luck with my problem.
I have used Google Voice on my computer to call and text people, and with my upcoming trip to europe, it would be nice to use that to call people back home.
Problem, I have it installed on two devices, yet on both it doesn't give me the option to call, or even compose any sort of message at all. Any ideas on what I can do? The only options I get are refresh, settings, and search.
For me, when I'm in my inbox (or any other folder) I have a compose button on the bottom left. For calls, can you go into settings, Making calls, and change it to ask for all calls? Then use your dialer to place a call and it should prompt you.

click settings. the second option in the settings menu controls the ability to make calls via google voice. it is however done by dialing a forwarding service and therefore uses your minutes. it is not voip.

I pretty much use Google Voice as my primary mode of voice calling. You don't make a call through the app. Simply go to settings, and tell it to either use GV for every call, or ask it to prompt you at every call whether to call from your phone or to call from GV. Then when you simply dial as normal through the dialer app, it will either just use GV if you told it to, or ask you which to use.
BTW, All GV calling functionality is disabled on wifi tablets. I honestly have no experience with 3G/4G tablets, but on my Wifi Transformers I have to install a SIP client on the tablet and route GV calls to another VOIP service I use.

I'm a bit confused. I thought the only Google Voice calling solution was GrooveIP if you want to send and receive calls properly for your Google Voice phone number. GrooveIP does not use your minutes and is definitely VOIP.
On every device I tried it on, there is a bit of delay with GrooveIP, but the quality is good (good internet connection required, whether its 4G or strong 3G or WiFi.)
Can you please elaborate a bit? Are you just using Google Voice app, but its using your minutes?

When you use the google voice app, it dials into the google voice services which then forwards the call to the number you dialed. You get charged for the minutes during the call as a result. This also breaks free mobile to mobile calling.
GrooveIP is a 3rd party app that lets you connect to GV via VOIP so you don't have that forwarding call.
Use sipdroid with pbxs function. Tie it to Google voice, download Google voice callback, and presto. Have it on an old evo for my 8 year old daughter. She loves texting with Google voice. Makes her feel like a teenager. There is sometimes a slight echo, but completely usable.

This is exactly how I made voice calling possible with my GV number on my wifi tablet.
