Care to elaborate on that, since it doesn't make any sense.
My service was shut off for a while but i still want to make calls via wifi with google voice.
Do a search. There's a million tutorials on how to set up Sipgate/Sipdroid/etc./etc./etc. to be a phone in Google Voice.
Easiest option is to get Sipdroid and see if the little button at the bttom is back which says to connect your Google account to PBXes and all that.
Google Voice over wifi? Don't think that is possible.
As mentioned, SIP would work...
right now, I have Sipdroid & Google Voice Over Wifi... no delay or anything... i have a better call quality over voip then I had with sprint.

would you mind telling the steps on getting this set up?
ive tried it and had nothing but problems..
when you made the call what # rings the person you are calling.. sip account or gv?
Download SIPdroid (it's in the market). Run the program, and click on set up pbxes with your google voice account. Use the dialer to make calls. Pretty easy if you ask me.
im blind or something i have tryed siproid on couple roms now and i have not seen the google voice tab on it at all
You need to install gvoice to get that option to show up in Sipdroid.
I had to copy the gvoice apk from my actual phone to install it on a none PHONE tablet.
It did not show up in the Market on my wifi only tablet.

Help with Google Voice Being Dumb

the other day i reloaded google voice in my phone but deleted it because everytime i got a call it wants me to push 1 to accept or 2 to decline.....
how the heck do i delete this off or stop it from doing this
it's a setting in google voice (online). I think it says automatically connect calls. I had to do that to because I could never get my calls in.

Google voice preventing me from making Bluetooth calls...

So I just bought a new car, and while hooking my dinc up via Bluetooth I noticed that I cant call out from my phone because I have it set to ask every time I make a call if I want to use Google voice...it gets stuck on that screen and fails to make the call.
Is there a way to prevent the Google voice app from asking when calling out via Bluetooth?
Anyone? I could have sworn it worked Thursday when I picked the car up, that's the weird thing...
I'm not sure exactly where it is but there is an option in the settings somewhere that dictates how Google voice handles calls. It can be set to use Google voice, not use it, or ask.

I think that's for international calls. But, you phone might be dialing an international prefix before the number. That normally wouldn't matter, but Gvoice will take notice of it. I set mine to never ask because I never call internationally.
Ah yeah, I think loonatik is right. So if you do have 1+ before the number, GV will probably pick that up and that might be what's giving you troubles. Maybe?
No, I have it set to always ask...but I was hoping there was some way to override it if the call is made via Bluetooth. I could have sworn I had it working Thursday, but now it just fails because it gets stuck on the Google voice screen ...
Anyone know of any way to override the setting if making a call thru Bluetooth?
Or, an alternative would be for me to turn it off (or on) for all calls and have an easy way to bypass it...
Possible solutions...
Free, but a pain in the butt:
Drop the Google Voice Settings widget on one of your home screens. The third button (the one that looks like a handset inside of a settings button) toggles call modes for GV:
-Use for all calls
-Do not use
-Use for international
-Ask every time
Free, but I have never tried the app so I can't personally comment:

Looks like you could set this up to perhaps side-step the GV behavior of manually answering every time
I was about to write out how to do it with Tasker and the Locale Google Voice Settings plug-in. But I just realized that it doesn't have the all/none/ask choice as a plug-in setting: only the online stuff like forwarding phones, etc. Bummer - but maybe you could contact the dev about future integration
Google Voice always ask and bluetooth
Did you ever find a good work-around or solution for this?
I just got an S4 today, and I was hoping that the Google Voice app on the Android would be similar to the iPhone one. It's not.
I use google voice to call/text my friends (I ported my original # over to Google) and the main number for work. But when I tried making a call over bluetooth in the car, got the same problem as you, it got stuck on the "Always Ask" prompt. The problem with making it never ask, is there is no dialer to just go to like there is on an iPhone when you do want to make a call using Google Voice. So you have to keep switching the option on that widget before every call. So annoying.
Suggestions?

Can't Receive Calls - Google Voice Issue

Hello everyone. My epic touch works great except I can't receive calls. I think that this is a google voice issue because once I disable the google voice + sprint integration, everything works fine. Sometimes, my phone tells me that I have a missed call. The last time I remember receiving a call is before I installed the google voice app (not sure if that this is the cause). I haven't been able to receive a call for nearly four weeks now.
I am at my wit's end. I think I have tried everything short of posting to this forum until now, including:
1.) Following the advice on a similar thread in this forum. (To dial *710)
2.) Elsewhere it was suggested to dial *720, *730, and *740.
3.) Calling sprint. They suggested it was due to a service outage, though I doubt this is the case as I live in an area with good coverage.
4.) Doing a PRI reset to factory default settings.
5.) Uninstalling the google voice app (and reinstalling it).
6.) Setting up another google voice account to try with a different number.
7.) Having google voice integrate my carrier number over instead of the google voice number.
8.) Following the instructions on post #4 on this sprint forum thread. (To remove google voice, reboot phone, update profile etc., call sprint)
9.) Googling around. There seem to be others who have asked google directly for advice, but they all seem to be "closed to responses" before the issues are definitively resolved.
10.) Flashed another modem.bin found elsewhere on this epic 4g touch forum.
11.) I'm sure there have been other things I've tried..
Can anybody help me? I rarely ask for help but I think I've exhausted all of my options. I'm running StarBurst 1.6.
PS - Is it bad forum etiquette to write in bold so much here?
My phone wasnt receiving calls and i thought it was a google voice issue, so i uninstalled it and still the same issue of not receiving calls.
I dont know if your issue is the same as mine, but when my phone isnt connected to a charger or computer in sleep/idle mode, it wont receive calls or text. my text will come in when i hit the power button to bring it out of idle/sleep mode.
I got the run around from sprint customer service for about a week because of the issue so today they told me to take it to a service center to get it checked out. Turns out the phone is defective and they're going to take a week to get me a new phone.
Its not google voice, with the guy above me that makes 3 of us who are not receiving calls while in sleep mode!

I'm not sure we have the same issue. I never have a problem with text, regardless of whether my charger is connected or not. If I disable google voice integration, I can receive calls to my carrier number, whether or not the phone is in sleep mode. It doesn't look like google forwards calls to my phone when someone calls my google voice number, though.
After re-enabling google voice integration, I left my phone out of sleep mode, called it, and awhile later the phone did ring for about half a second before displaying a missed call. This does not consistently happen as this is the first time I've seen this.

[Q] Wifi + Google Voice + Native Dialer

Hello Everyone,
I Have A Rooted Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) Running Cyanogenmod 10.2 Latest Nightly Built. Since I Upgrade To The Note 3 I No Longer Have A Data Plan Or Sim Card For That Matter, I Do How Ever Have Google Voice And Wifi In My Home I Have Been Trying To Integrate Google Voice Into The Native Dialer (Phone App). Im Not Talking About Using Groove IP, Talkatone, Or Spare Phone As A Way To Make Google Voice Calls On Wifi. Im Talking About Setting Up & Configuring The Native Dialer To Work On WiFi And Make Google Voice The Carrier. The Only Problem With That Is Google Voice Is Not A VOIP Service I Have Tried Different Tutorials To Forward It To SIP, Using The Sipdroid & The simonics.com/gvgw/ Gateway Tutorial With NO LUCK At All. I Setup Everything Correctly With Sipdroid, None Of The Calls Can Be Completed And The Google Voice Gateway Tutorial Using Simon Telephonics SIP-to-XMPP Method Is Impossible Since They Closed Registration Temporary For Months Now
Does Anyone Know A Way To Make Google Voice Calls On WiFi Only Using Only The Native Stock Dialer Without Having 3rd Party Apps Like Groove IP ?, Maybe An Updated Tutorial Perhaps Thank You
