I've been messing around with my GV number and i've been looking for a way to make it so that all unanswered calls on my phone go to the GV voicemail.
I've tired using unconditional forwarding.. like i believe its *61*GVnumber# i could be wrong though..
Has anyone else got this to work?
I think it will work as long as you do not have your mobile number set up as part of the GV ring list. You will end up with a loop.
Can anyone ever get the call forwarding options in the settings to save?
I've never got it to say anything but an error.
Just change your t-mobile voicemail number to your google voice number on your Dash
after looking in to it i noticed something i overlooked. If you on a flexpay account like i am then tmobile has forwarding disabled. i guess if i want that feature to work ill have to get a contract, unless i wait till project dark is announced

Actually i did try this and it worked... until i noticed that the no reply option in call forwarding is set to a custom number that's very close to my orginal voice mail number..
Hey guys, I was reading this article earlier about Google Voice...it made me wish I had it. Check it out:
http://lifehacker.com/5382770/make-unlimited-free-calls-on-your-cellphone-with-google-voice?skyline=true&s=i
I also read that they're now letting members invite people.
This might be a [email protected] question but, if you like the article what are the chances one of you might invite me? Hahaha, sorry if it is but I just had to ask!
I have a google voice account. It doesn't seem that the invite feature is available (to me atleast). Realize that unlike with G-Mail, inviting is tougher with Google Voice because Google could always pay forward and expand their ever-so-gigantic server space, but there are a limited number of available phone numbers. Due to that exact fact, I feel like Google Voice may NEVER become fully accessible to everyone unless we adopt an 11 Digit or more phone number. That is just my opinion, as horrible as it may see, although I really do HOPE that everyone gets to use Google Voice. So far from my experience it is awesome!
Thanks for the info Cyclone. You're right, it probably won't be available for everyone. But according to the Google Voice Blog referenced below you and every other account holder will get three invites...eventually. Just to begin with.

On your blog, you mention that following GV's instructions (for T-Mobile Dash) will make your GV number the number called when you press and hold "1", i.e. your GV number becomes your VM number. I did *not* find that to be the case. Does anyone else have the same experience?

You are getting it wrong. That link works, I can attest to that because I did it myself. When you call VoiceMail on your phone (by holding 1) it is preset to call the TMOBILE voicemail, which will have nothing in it. What the set-up does is change the configuration to forward missed calls etc. to the google number. If you want to access that Voicemail, you have to set the Keypress (or whatever) to call your google voice number.
does anyone know if this can work with a Flex-Pay Account with Tmobile?....I find there's an error when imputting the code to change voicemail settings setup.

it wont work with flexplay, tmobile disabled it. what do you have your no reply set to? if its voicemail then you i believe you can change that it in the phone settings.

As I stated in my blog "if you change your service providers voicemail number in your device settings to your Google Voice number it will automatically call your Google Voice number when you press and hold the 1 key (T-mobile)."
This means after you have set everything else up (by entering the code given to you by Google in Google Voice) YOU have to manually change the voicemail number in your Devices settings to your google voice number, in the Dash 3G it is under call options.
I just signed up for Google Voice and I'm a little confused as to how it works. Texting works just fine and sends from my Google number and if I call my Google number it forwards to my phone fine too.
My question is about outgoing calls. I set it to ask me every time and then to only use Google Voice for calls but no matter what I do, when I go to make a call using the regular dialer like it says, it just uses my regular Verizon number. Is it possible to use my Google Voice number for outgoing calls and does this not use my Verizon minutes?
Yes its definitely possible when the settings in GV are correct (sounds like they are). Verizon ppl should chime in here, but I think you have to set up some call forwarding settings in order to get it to work properly with the VZW network.
It works perfect on my GSM model (and T-Mobile), but I haven't heard any issues about it not working on those.
I found this related thread on a different forum. I'm looking for a similar answer but for my droid bionic.

I make calls from my Google Voice all the time. I did not really do anything to set it up besides install the app on my phone. Of course I went through all the setup online, but I don't think that would matter. When I had my Nexus One some custom ROM's would require you to enable some kind of 3rd party dialing, but I have not seen that with my Galaxy Nexus. I used this link to setup call forwarding so I could us Voice for my voice mail. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=17268
Hey guys... I am currently using Google Voice and love it, however, I have ran into a problem. I use my current GV number for a small business I operate out of my home, and am getting ready to start another small business and need both GV #'s to forward to my nexus. Google doesn't allow this apparently, so I was curious if you guys know of any other apps out there that will allow you to sign up for a new number, and that the app will allow you to make/receive calls through that number... I wish google would make this a paid feature.
thank for any and all help.

Hey everybody!
Recently out of the blue, my google voice stopped working as it used it. previously I used to be able to dial internationally from my phone and google voice would connect the call (the automated message would be 'this call will cost 2 cents per min" at which point it'd dial out). Not sure what happened but now when I dial internationally from my phone, I get a different automated message saying "my account is not authorized to dial this number". Also missing from my google voice app is the option to setup the call, ether to use google voice for all calls or just international calls. The only way to dial internationally now is to go to the google voice webpage and select a number to have my phone dial it out.
Anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
UPDATE: found solution, had to un-integrate google voice with my sprint number (somehow inadvertently had this integrated). delete thread.
Hey guys,
I tried searching for anything relating to this and I haven't found anything on this forum or Google thats helpful.
Issue: NO SERVICE!!! I work in a government building that has 0 reception inside (I also work in the basement). I also get almost no reception in my house, but i have an airave so that's resolved for the most part.
I would like to set up VOIP somehow without having to create a new number to give to people. I'm hoping to find someone who has done this already with success.
My thought is to install and set up google voice using my sprint number, and then integrate google voice into talkatone. That way I can call/text over wifi for free because it is still using my sprint number, just over a data connection instead of cell. I'm on a good family plan with a business discount, so this isn't me trying to get out of paying for cell minutes, my bill for 4 people is 200 bucks (we all have premium data). I just want to be able to receive my messages and calls while I'm at work on just a wifi signal. Unfortunately about a month ago my fiancees father unexpectedly passed and I didn't find out until I left work hours later because I never received a message.
If this is a taboo conversation I apologize (if its possible, the resources are already out there) or if nobody knows I understand. I was just hoping for some insight because I've heard complaints with people trying to integrate their sprint number to google voice.
So I took some time and did some individual research of each app and the google voice integration.
Google Voice itself does not all VOIP, which is where talkatone comes in. Most 3rd party VOIP apps require the person you are calling/texting to also have that app, or you need to create a new number through that app and give it out to everybody you want to communicate with over a data connection.
Talkatone works with Google Voice, which is why it's free, and the benefit of being on Sprint is that you can make your Google Voice number your Sprint Mobile number, therefore being able to make free calls and texts over wifi/3g/4g without spending any money. If you decide to go international you would only have to add a credit to google voice for international calls (which is significantly cheaper then the international rate from sprint).
I believe this is a very unknown loophole in sprints eyes that is completely legal and does not break the terms of service. They are the ones who have a contract with Google Voice to allow you to use your own number, then talkatone works on top of google voice to provide VOIP.
In essence I answered my own question, but I hope to have provided some insight to other people that have service issues with sprint.
I welcome anybody who uses this exact set up or just google voice to chime in with any issues they have experienced, or success stories.
I use GrooveIP to do this on my wifi only evo shift

What ive read is that because it works through google voice and google voice isn't considered a "mobile number" then any person you call that has a mobile-to-mobile feature will not take advantage of it, it will actually go towards their minutes. it doesnt hurt you because you arent using any minutes, but it hurts them. especially on a family plan.
Well obviously. It basically lets you use your disconnected device as phone whenever you have wifi.
For real "free" services, each person needs to be in on the same thing.
