I downloaded voice from the marketplace but the only options I have are voice mail and that's it. I cam make calls or sms. Is there a way around this or am I stuck with only voice mail? Is anyone else having this problem?

Do you have a registered google voice account with a working GV phone number given to you by google? You need a full account for full functionality. Simply downloading the app is not enough.

Looking for a sms/mms messaging app that uses my data plan instead of my text plan. Search with no luck. Anyone got anything......
That would just be email right?
Otherwise, SMS is always going to come in/send out via your text plan
I guess that would fall into email. Guess I'm looking for more of a chat based app. comes down to i would like to send and recieve messages with out a number trace.

Kik messenger... similar to BBM....
The problem with most apps that say they are SMS replacements that use your data plan is that they are actually some type of IM program which would require the person you are trying to reach be using it as well.
I'd recommend Google Voice as it would be using the data plan on your end, but be sending a true SMS so the recipient sees it as an SMS. If they want to pay for a text messaging plan, that's their choice.
Certain IM clients like Yahoo IM can send SMS messages, but I don't think it's as clean, it's just easier for the recipient when they see a SMS coming from an actual phone number.
In any case, you'd end up having problems if you like to send pics via MMS. Google Voice does not support MMS (people have been requesting it for a while, I only hope it's on their roadmap).
Did'nt Go sms have this as a paid option?
Get Textfree...when u make account, it gives you number that shows up when u text somebody, and it uses data...I used it a lot on my ipod touch, not so much on my dinc, but still does the job

Live profile. It is supposed to work like blackberry messenger but you can use it cross platform (android, iPhone, BB). Downside is that tonuse it, both you and the person you are trying to reach need to have it installed.

Another one here for Google voice. I have about a years worth of messages archived too
I have google voice installed and i set it to use my sprint number, but now when i receive a sms from someone it shows up in google voice instead of just handcent.
How can i stop google voice from showing sms messages?
I only want google voice to get my voicemail messages, not sms!
Here is a thread I made on how to fix that.

I know Google voice has been giving people issues on the gs3 and I'm wondering if anyone has successfully gotten it to work? I use it just specifically as my voicemail provider. Any help would be appreciated.

Set up GV online first, following all the prompts to forward voicemail to GV. Then open the GV app on your phone and login. Works just fine for me!

Thanks! I will give it a try when I get home and report back.

when configuring the app, skip the voicemail set up
so does this work? I really want to change to google voice because I really hate the visual voicemail I'm currently using.
it works just fine for me.
when i install it i always let it try to do the voice mail change but it usually error's out, then i go to the website and do the voice mail forward from there and the keypad on my phone.
Wow that was too easy. Thanks for the tip!
Ever since I've been trying to use Google Voice I've been getting an error when configuring through the app. To get around this error, simply set it up online. Now it works!
Cheers
Hey guys I have been missing calls lately and my phone doesn't give me any notification I have a voicemail. Since it doesn't tell me I have a missed call can someone point me to an app that would notify me with new voicemails. Thanks

Try going into the voicemail settings. See if there's anything there to help you
Try YouMail service. It's free and will give you iPhone's Visual Voicemail like interface. I love it.
Shell out a few bucks and get the BetterYouMail app from Play Store after registering and setting up with the official Youmail app. Just like the name suggests, Better You Mail is "Better" than the actual Youmail app.
HTH,

google voice is visual voicemail ,its free and even emails you a text transcript of the voicemail message (great for seeing it in office where you cant listen to it)
Im rooted, running Tx...'s Hybrid Stock. I ean to know if there is a FREE way /app to get my voicemail to text. I hate to pay $3 a month for that feature to work in Sprint's Visual Voicemail. Any ideas?

I think Google voice transcribes for free.

This is what I use. You need to set call conditional forwarding to your Google voice number if you don't want to use the sprint integration and the voicemail will come through either Google voice app or hangouts however you set it up

Let me ask just a few more questions before I begin the configuration. I don't have a GoogleVoice set up so when I went to set it up, I needed a number. Do I get a new number or use my Sprint number (see here for using Sprint number: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1207070).
It's up to you, I have a 530 California number associated with my Google voice account because they don't have Hawaii numbers. I left my 530 number as my Google voice number and so when I call out via hangouts it will show as the 530 number on people's caller ID. Calls to use us over hangouts are free still so if you plan doesn't have unlimited min this might be a good option for you. If you do the sprint integration, you'll only have one number
