So I want to use a GNexus with Skype and GVoice, and when I use it on a tablet and try to call someone it asks which phone number I want to cal with and I select the skype number and GVoice calls my skype, I pick up on the tablet, then it calls the outbound number. On the GNexus it just says no mobile data network available.
Anyone know how to trick GVoice into thinking (rightly in this case) that there is no phone/mobile network and let me select the number like I can on a tablet?

Just set Google Voice so it doesn't use Google Voice for any calls in the settings.

No change.
On a tablet it comes up with a window asking which phone you want GVoice to call, there is no popup here, I think the setting in GVoice saying don't use GVoice just means have the dialer call the outbound number directly, rather than calling GVoice (which gets a data packet sent to it teling it you are caling and this is the number you want GVoice to connect you to).
What I'm trying to do is essentially get the phone to forget that it can make phonecalls.

Hi Guys.
Not sure if this is the right section to post under, so apology in advance if its wrong.
I was wondering if i could make my verizon number a google voice number. Like, release the number from verizon and get google to put it under my google voice account. That would mean that all my current contacts would become google voice contacts. The main advantage for me of this, is that i'd get missed call alerts even when i am in an area without cell phgone reception (ie work) through wifi.
Any advice appreciated.
if you use wifi from your work you shouldn't be missing any calls. If you are you should return the phone....

You can assign your Verizon number as the one that google voice forwards the call to; but dont think you can re-assign your VZW number to google voice.
Also, you can set your vzw number to forward to Google voice for voicemail. Then, whenever someone calls and gets to your voicemail.. you should receive the missed call notification.
When you're phone doesn't have signal, the call should go to Google voicemail immediately and count as a missed call.

This is the explanation of how wifi will help.. The phone doesn't ring, You don't get to answer the call, but wifi lets you know you have a missed call our new voicemail.

I see that a lot of people are having issues with Voice Mail in GV on the T-Mobile prepaid plans. Mine actually works since I'm using my GV#.
The issue is that when I place a call it's using my new T-Mobile number even though I have GV set up to use GV for all calls.
Should I port my GV# over to T-Mobile or is there another work around?
Will porting my GV# remove it from GV thus removing all functionality?
Receiving calls, VM and text via GV works flawlessly.
Go into your Google Voice app > Settings > Making Calls > "Use Google Voice to make all calls". Calls via the stock dialer will go out via your GV #. If this isn't working, try setting it to "ask every time" and see what it does when you call and choose Google Voice. If that doesn't work, I'd be inclined to say that's a settings problem that you should figure out at the voice.google.com settings page.
This has nothing to do with what carrier you're on.
The only reason why people on T-Mobile Prepaid have issues is because T-Mo Prepay doesn't have "conditional call forwarding", which means that without disabling your T-Mobile voicemail service, people who call your T-Mobile # can't be redirected to GV Voicemail.
Now as you note, if people are calling your GV #, GV Voicemail works fine. I have the same experience it's always worked perfectly.
I've done that and it's still placing calls using the T-Mobile number.

As I note, if that doesnt work go back into the settings and have it "ask every time" when you place a call. Select GV and see what it does then. Sounds like you have a configuration problem.
Oddly enough that results in the same thing. And it doesn't ask me whether I want to use GV to place the call.
My wife had that issue and an uninstall/reinstall worked.

uninstall the GV app and reinstall it.
Ya that's just a settings issue. Not resetting. Either clear data on the app or reinstall.
Still no luck. I've tried uninstalling and clearing data.
Both times it went back to using the T-Mobile number to place the call.
what dialer are you using?

That's very weird... is the phone # setup as a forwarding # for your GV account?
It's just the one that come stock on the galaxy nexus.

Yes - inbound calls are routed to GV in my desktop settings.
I may have found a work around. If I dial the area code or just click on a contact to call it goes through GV.
If I just dial the local 7 digit number it doesn't.
Not an issue since 99% of my calls are placed by tapping a contact. This was just the one time that I decided to manually dial a number.
Google Voice usually requires (or really likes) if the number you dial has a 1 or +1 infront of it.
I made a petition about getting this to work. Maybe if enough people sign it, T-Mobile will listen.

I installed Google Voice on my AT&T HTC One X and installed the Google Voice App. I disabled the AT&T Visual Voicemail and AT&T Messages apps.
I add the cell number to my Google Voice account. I went through the process to enter the code to forward voicemail on my phone to my Google Voice number.
** I selected the option in Advanced Settings for the cell number to "go directly to Voicemail" in Google voice **
However, when I call my cell, it rings 5 times, then forwards to Google Voice, then rings 5 times before the Voicemail picks up, so it takes 10 or 11 rings to get to my voicemail!
I used a separate phone and called my Google Voice number directly and it takes 5 rings before voicemail picks up.
It seems that Google Voice for some reason isn't recognizing my cell as a forwarded to voicemail call and is treating it like a normal call.
Help!
You might want to ask this in the AT&T One X forum, this one is for Tegra 3.

I think I figured it out. Since AT&T doesn't have "tight" GV integration, like Verizon, to activate you are essentially just forwarding the call. When the call comes in to GV, the number is not the number of the cell, but the number of the person calling, so GV doesn't know if this is a direct call or a forwarded call that was unanswered from the cell.
There's a simple solution but it only works because I'm not using my GV phone number for incoming calls. Just turn the Do Not Disturb feature on in GV and now all calls go direct to voicemail.
Moderator: You can move this to AT&T forum if you want.

This works alright but GV does not pick up voicemail when Do Not Disturbe is turned on....at least this is what I am finding.
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,

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.

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!

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.
