I'm setting up Google Voice and saw that there is a fixed dial number (FDN) setting.
My questions are :
1) Will this option make it so GV's access number is the same on every call?
2) it asks for a PIN2 number. I tried 1234 and 0000 and neither worked. Tmo is stumped. I did not set a number. Does anyone know another possible default code?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
FDN restricts outgoing calls to only the numbers on a pre determined list. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Dialing_Number for more information.
This will not affect google voice, since when you make a google voice call it is an incoming, not an outgoing call from your phone. If I remember correctly, there is a setting on the google voice page to control how your calls appear on caller id (random number or GV number)
If you want to use FDN, the default PIN2 is 5678, keep in mind that t-mobile does not support the use of this feature, so if you lock yourself out they may not be able to help you.

Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to have GV use a fixed access number. I use the myfaves paln to get free unlimited incoming/outoging calls. But when gv changes acess numbers and I don't catch it fast enough, I get charged.
As far as I am aware (from my knowledge of using google voice and from searching) there is not a way to prevent the access numbers from changing.
If you want to use one number for all your calls, you can start by calling your own GV number and selecting option 2 (place a call) from the main menu.

UPDATE:
Here are some crap videos that show this working using both csip and sipdroid thru bt

this is directed at the poor souls that had to get cdma sprint tab and wanted phone function...i got phone working on viewsonic gtab easily with no radio,however gtab sucks compared to SGT imho. so i t n e'd much until i found a proper method of execution for cdma sprint SGT.
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:
google voice number(free)
ipkall number(free)
gv apk(free)
sipdroid-also sets up pbx for you(free)
FYI
(in order to setup your free ipkall it will ask for a #;this is not a standard #. it will vary depending on service...eg. magnus-200.use sipdroid to autmagically set up for you then just transplant the info properly)
1.)google voice+number and setup account
2.)grab free number from ipkall and reg it with gv
3.)grab sipdroid and let it setup a new pbx for you
4.)set this devce to ring thru gv
5.)open sipdroid app and make dial call...
test on wifi and data
when dialing a number hit enter on kb instead of the #5 for sipdroid dialer, or you will get the "this device cannot make calls error"...i will figure this out and eliminate it, however i dont see it anymore but i need to break thru it.
i have been messing with csip cus i like the dialer alot, however i cant get it to setup right anymore. i can get it to register, but not to call right...but sipdroid works great and i cant complain about free calling from my tab using my gv number
please post finding and results....
thanks

make sure that:
you are dialing with sip app not gv
(i prefer csipsimple dialer)
ipkall number is registered with google voice
that sipdroid setup ur pbxes proper
after sipdroid sets up ur pbx for you try csisimple as well
(make sure to setup as international carrier/pbxes in account setup and same credentials as sipdroid used for setup)
test using your primary line. since i set this up i do not use my evo very much since the tab is better in every way.phone is not as good of course but tab is not meant to be a phone here so i am happy with what i have accomplished for free. also you will have to adjust latency in settings to improve sound quality to your liking.
Sadly, there is no support for the Bluetooth Headset (with mic) profile on the CDMA GalaxyTab. This will work but you will have to use the built-in mic on the GT for your calls until someone either patches the BT stack or builds a custom rom with full BT profiles.
This is the exact reason I can't wait for custom rom development to begin on the CDMA versions.

Care to help me out and get it setup? Once I have an understand of the right way, I could put a guide with pictures to help people.
I've tried this but unfortunately every ipkall phone number i get assigned is apparently already in use in someone elses google voice.
tried call the area codes ipkall provides and repeatedly cancelling and re-creating ipkall accounts in hopes of getting a previously unused number
I am wondering if you could just use a Sipgate number.
I'll try to help with his tomorrow. Magnus walked me though this this afternoon and there were a few hiccups but it's working flawlessly now.

There is another way to do this, but it isn't as clean. You need to obtain a Sipgate account or any SIP provider that allows free incoming calls. Once you have that, you register it with your google voice account. Then you will need to configure Sipgate with either sipdroid or csip.
To make outbound calls:
On the tab, log into your google voice account. You will then be presented with a web dialer and can select the sipgate account to have the call sent to
Inbound:
will ring your sipgate account

I found out what I was doing incorrectly. Here is a run down that will hopefully help everyone on a way to do this.
Step 1: Download SIPDroid from the Market Place
Step 2: Obtain a google voice account
Step 3: Launch SIPDroid and instruct it to create a PBXes.com account for you with your google voice account information
Step 4: Go to IPKall
Step 5: Go to the settings of SIPDroid and write down the first account information (should be [email protected])
Step 6: On IPKall, put in the XXXX-200 for the sip # and pbxes.com for the sip proxy
Step 7: Register your IPKall number with Google Voice (if gives an error ask it to Verify the information. It will then dial your SIPDroid software and ask for a 2 digit number. It might take a couple of times before it recognizes it.)
Step 8: You are now ready to make calls and receive calls.
There are a couple other options that remove the need for the IPKall, but it requires having multiple SIP accounts setup. I currently have 3 setup on my Tab.
Is there an advantage of using three sip accounts?

I'm having issues getting Google Voice running on my new phone. I had it running on a G2x just fine. Everytime I get to the stage where it syas it will configure voicemail to use Google Voice it comes back with com.android.phone has stopped.
So far as I can tell it's failing to configure voicemail, however unlike my G2x I can't find the voicemail number setting under the phone settings to see what it is set to. I don't know if this is a GSIII thing or something to do with ICS.
Anyone else run into problems configuring google voice?
Restart then try launching voice again.it went away for me. The problem I have now is that I cannot get the old voicemail icon to clear.

You just have to change the forwarding calls number to your Google Voice number. That should be all that needs to be done.

I had this problem too. You can change the forwarding numbers in the call settings or go to the Google voice web page and activite voicemail on the device.
This is what fixed it for me

Thanks guys. I've visited the voice web page and got the number there to input on the device. Hopefully that'll do it.
Clearing old VoiceMail Icon
Disable WiFi Calling
De-Activate Voice on Website from Desktop
Uninstall "Google Voice"
Open "Phone" - where you dial out to make calls
Press "Menu" and then "Call Settings"
Change Voicemail Setting to "Carrier"
Enter "Call Forwarding" Options
Leave the First Option Disabled
Disable the last Option, it will reset to your carrier's voicemail number
Make sure the 2-4 options all have your carrier's voicemail number.
Restart phone.
Call it from another phone and leave a voicemail.
Listen to and delete the new voicemail you just left.
Voicemail Icon cleared.
Now you should be able to setup Voice properly.
*NOTE*
Call Forwarding cannot be changed while WiFi calling is active.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Thank you so much! That worked perfectly!
It appears that T-Mobile locks down the Voicemail settings (where you can configure the direct dial number for voicemail). GV fails to change that when installing the "Google Voice" Voicemail service.
So far's I can tell on my Amaze is this is the number dialed when you hold down "1" or call "123."
T-Mo reps told me this is a third party app problem, when I told them it was Google Voice, the reps said "Call HTC, it's a hardware issue." HTC's technical support had a good laugh at that. T-Mobile's reps are full of it; they just don't like changing the number.
Google Voice voicemail has been successfully configured on my phone. all unanswered calls will go to my Google Voice voicemail. i'd like to press-n-hold 1 on my dialpad to call Google Voice, but i'm unable to change preset the voicemail number because the setting is disabled. (See pic below). Is there another method to change this number to my Google Voice number? Thanks in advance to those who reply.
Looking for a answer to this also.
I just use the google Voice app instead of dialing anything. I have not used voice mail for years. It all goes to Google Voice and I get a transcript via text and it shows up in my gmail account.
Does yours work perfectly all the time? I've been using Google Voice for years and with my Note 2 and Note 3 is like 50:50 sending my voice mail to voice. Half the time it still goes to my tmobile voice mail.

I've never used Tmobile voice mail. Didn't use VZW when I was using it either.
On the Note 3 there are 4 forward settings that affect where calls go..
Always forward - I don't use this
Forward when busy - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unanswered - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unreachable - Set to Google Voice
You have to have the last 3 set to point to your Google voice number or you might still have messages sent to your t-mobile voice mail.
Settings -> Device Tab -> Call -> Additional Settings -> Call Forwarding
Thanks I just checked that and mine are all set to forward to my Google voice number as well. Still for some reason done of the voice mail messages go to my tmobile number.

I'm used to the iOS voice app that has an embedded dialer. Is there an analog in Android? Even though I have GV set to ask whether to use GV or my cell number to dial, it seems the only way to dial is to choose a contact from GV app. Using the native dialer always dials from my cell #.
Is there a hidden feature or alternate app for dialing?
You don't need Google voice that's a completely different service. Use google now its much better and it will search anything from any screen by saying "OK google" once you set it up. I'll attach some screen shots for you.

Thanks, but that's actually not the issue - I'm trying to use Google Voice to that it sends my office phone number as callerID when I call clients from the road. Unfortunately, Google's brilliant (not!) use of "Voice" for the name of a service makes searching impossible to find help on the app. (Google Voice Dialing, as in Dialing with the Google Voice cloud app)
I'm actually using google voice for a second phone line I use with clients. It rings on my desktop and forwards to my cell. I would like to be able to dial out from my G3 using Google Voice so that the callerID that gets sent is my office number, not my cell number. As I said, if I select a contact from the GoogleVoice app, it asks whether to dial with the GVoice app (which goes through a telephone gateway with the Office CallerID), or to dial with the native phone app, which would send my cell phone CallerID.

Thanks - I'll give it a try; that's a VoIP solution though, right? I was hoping for an ability to direct dial (from the gv app). I'm still discovering some of the weird things that work better under iOS than android, and am kind of surprised when it's the native Google stuff that is "behind".
Yehp, it's done wonders as my office phone, you could at the least have it request permission when dialing to which number you'd like to use, just a click away, about the same or less amount of clicks you'd use compared to going into gv, selecting a contact, and dialing. With groov normal contacts, select or dial, await popup for which dialer you wish to use, and bam!
If you go into the Google Voice app on your G3 and then go into the Settings for the Google Voice app, you should see an option entitled "Making calls". In that section you have 4 choices to select from for how you want Google Voice to behave when you make a call from your phone using the native phone app:
1) Use Google Voice to make all calls
2) Do not use Google Voice to make any calls
3) Only use Google Voice for international calls
4) Ask every time I make a call
It sounds like you'd prolly want to go with option 4. That way when you go into the Phone app on your G3 and dial a number to place an outgoing call, Google Voice will pop up and ask you if you want the outgoing call to be placed with either your Google Voice number or your "real" phone number that you got from your carrier. This way you have the choice presented to you for every outgoing call you make from your G3.
I've used Google Voice for years now and this is how it's always worked. I use option 1 for my own needs on my cell phone because I just give everyone my Google Voice number and never give out my "real" cell number except to a few choice friends and relatives, so I always want my outgoing calls to show my Google Voice number to the person I'm calling.
Hope that helps you out.
That works too ^^^^^^^^
The thing is I started using groove when google voice would not allow me to make any calls using the app its self ....
*edit*
I forgot before I said that, yes you can make calls with gvoice, but your caller id will be some other number.
GrooVe IP will allow you to make a call whether on wifi or data (note the full ver is the one that allows the data call) Google's a thing..... and it will also show your gvoice number as the number you are calling from, as well as you can recieve calls to your device instead of just acquiring a voicemail to call back from....
[SOLVED]
Okay, so something that was installed, or uninstalled, as I was fiddling with the phone caused GVoice to lose its hook into the calling processes. Uninstalling GVoice and then reinstalling (from the Play store) re-attached it and now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Just a clarification for future searchers - yes, this is supposed to be how it works but somehow my phone stopped doing this. No matter what the setting was, dialing from the phone app dialed with the cell number, and choosing a received message or missed/placed call from the Voice app would dial using the Google Voice interchange. It was weird and, apparently, very unusual behavior.
