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.

GVoice Full Q's

I recently setup Google Voice Full on my S3, using my Sprint number. How exactly does it work in terms of receiving a phone call? Is it through data or voice? If I don’t have 3g or data is it going to come through? Or does it work just like stock and not on google voice? A few people have called and i never received the call, was it google voice? or would i have had the same issue without it? Do i need a data connection to receive calls now that i am going through google voice? I honestly just wanted it for visual voicemail, but i do enjoy the texts being online but i cant afford to miss calls because they dont come through. I do have call screening off as well.

All calls go through your cell connection (no data), but depending on your setup, texts and voicemail use data. The routing center was having issues last week due to Sandy in NYC so that could be why you had issues, but there could be other issues. You should try some testing by calling yourself to see how calling works and what sort of delay you may experience. I find that I often miss calls due to poor reception, but my gmail rings right away, it's the cell portion that can take several rings or miss the call completely.

Make sure you go onto a PC or Mac and type "Google voice" into address bar. Sign in and adjust setting accordingly. The settings on the PC end are the "full control" settings as your limited to what you can change through the phone application.
Good luck and don't fret, Google voice is a great program that I use daily.

[Q] Forwarding calls to SIP account

So I've been trying to get to where I can turn on airplane mode, then flip WiFi on and still be able to receive calls. I'm not using T-Mobile (but have the M919), so the WiFi calling feature doesn't apply. I'm using SipDroid + Google Voice with a PBXes.org account. My problem is that when people call my cell number (which is forwarded to my GV number) with my mobile service turned off they get redirected to my Google Voicemail. If, on the other hand, someone calls my GV number, my phone rings and I can answer it with SipDroid; making outgoing calls via SipDroid also work flawlessly. I have unanswered and unreachable call forwarding activated to forward calls to my GV number but it's just not working as I expect it to. Any advice?

I used Groove IP for this and the way to get it to work correctly was, I believe, to make sure that GV's settings are forwarding calls on to Google Chat. It sounds like you already have that set, since you can get direct calls to your GV number, but you might want to make sure all the settings are correct on the GV side.

[Q] Google # and T-Mobile Number Question?

Friends,
I use google as my main phone number and forward it to my t-mobile number for incoming calls. To avoid confusions with changing phones, numbers I keep my google number static so that I don't need to let everyone know that I have a new number.
How can I make calls out using my google # so that people will always see that number and not t-mobile? At current, I block my t-mobile from caller id, but sometimes it can be hassle or make people nervous.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank You,
tvos

I thought that using the Google Voice app would give you the option when making calls to "Use Google Voice for every call, Don't use Google Voice to make calls, or Ask me each time." If I remember right, when you use the Google Voice app to place calls, the service calls you first. Once you answer, it then places an outbound call showing your GV number.
GrooveIP works purely over data (WiFi, mobile data) and definitely uses your GV number.

thank you.. i will definitely try this... if memory serves me right and if it is like the computer. google calls you and then places the call. i would imagine it would be the same format.

I am going to try GV Phone, the other app I didn't see anywhere to make calls, only initiate text messing. You then could select the recipient to call. So we shall see how this works..
Again, thank you!

[Q] [SOLVED] Newbie Google voice question

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.

Groove ip should enable your google voice number to be the native caller id.

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.
